Governors on border states are possibly pulling national guard troops to force POTUS to evoke national emergency at which point he can dispatch national guard or military not under the control of the governor.
Obummer put this EO in place likely for a future time when an order to disarm the population at which time the Nat Guard of a certain state refused or the governor refused.
They are playing the long game to set Precedents for future events.
(theory)
MS-13 is a distraction.
Anyone with any exposure to Organized Crime knows its La Eme that runs shit at the top.
MS-13 and Cartels have their place and put in “work” however the “black hand” is at the top.
This is especially true in border states.
And LE plays ball as well as politicians.
For example it was the Mexican Mafia that ended the practice of drive by’s in California by street gangs and their are repurcussions for those that violate.
MS makes in roads in states and communities where they can typically in states where the heirarchy isn’t as established.
