By openly calling the Insurrection Act a “viable option” and warning of “more bloodshed,” he is signaling that federal patience is running out as ICE officers and other agents are repeatedly attacked. The recent arrest of an armed protester, along with the shooting of an illegal migrant who allegedly assaulted an officer, has only intensified the sense of crisis on the ground.

Supporters see federal agents under siege; critics see an administration ready to unleash military power on American streets. Between those two visions lies a city on edge, waiting to see whether Trump will cross a Rubicon few presidents have dared to approach.
