At some point a certain state, such as New Jersey, will decide they've had enough of Federal agents acting unconstitutionally and will act in defense of its citizens' rights.

Having a state's Congresspeople and representatives bodily trying to defend the mayor from getting arrested makes for good tv and will make headlines, but ultimately it is not very effective and only demonstrates the power that Trump can exert over the resistance.

What we need is a real show of force and numbers, then the Feds will likely fold when they are in the wrong. There just aren't that many Proud Boys to go around.
