I am not surprised.
What is surprising to me is why any "blue" state is paying federal taxes or following any laws.. or any of us for that matter. The law clearly no longer applies.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Because they’ll arrest you if you don’t? I mean the answer is pretty obvious.
Just because the law doesn’t apply to them doesn’t mean illegal actions by dissidents won’t be met by extreme violence. In fact we’re already seeing this.
If we could all do civil disobedience together simultaneously it would work but it’s not clear how to organize this without any leaders who can be rounded up.
I'm not advocating for it, but if people shot the SS when they came to illegally kidnap their neighbors they'd get the idea.
States don’t collect federal taxes. They can’t stop it.
We could collectively file exempt. Even if it was only for a month that'd be a statement. Of course we'd have a ton of people with tax issues the next year but getting that forgiven should be part of the demands.

Chief Justice John Roberts temporarily halted a judge’s midnight deadline for the Trump administration to return to the country a man mistakenly deported to El Salvador.
Roberts agreed to hold the deadline until the high court can resolve the Trump administration’s emergency request to lift the judge’s order.
The order does not address the underlying merits of the dispute and is not necessarily an indication of how the court will rule.
of course he ducking does. If he didn't, the court would have to try to impose some kind of penalty, and they know as well as any of us that they have no actual power to do so.
Ten gets you twenty that the man in question is already a corpse. Probably been dead since the judge ordered him returned. If it ever comes to it, it will be revealed that he died in an accident, and the courts will take a moment to wag their finger at Trump.
And that will be that.
