For example, the Trump administration worked with Gov Youngkin's appointees to force out the popular UVA President. Otherwise, a DOJ investigation would have followed and hundreds of millions in resources endangered. Now it will offer UVA more money to work with Trump

state troopers and police in general overwhelmingly support Trump and back these policies. the cops are not going to save you or anyone from the cops.
Martin O'Malley just mentioned state attorneys general filing state kidnapping charges. Just imagine the collective cheer in this country if state troopers pulled over, arrested and cuffed a van full of masked ICE fascists.

A very old Soviet joke, from an especially dark time:
Foxes are fleeing the USSR in droves.
Q: Why are you running away?
Fox: The Soviets passed a new law that they’re going to arrest all camels.
Q: But you’re foxes!
Fox: Yeah, why don’t *you* try proving to the NKVD that you’re not a camel.

If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.
