I just figured out the back story, the state has a pending court decision in a lawsuit vs. the USDA. This announcement is clearly a political stunt in light of that:
But they can keep doing this and harm people while court cases play out right? It’s a tactic to abuse people, exhaust the resistance, and normalize their activities.
At this point who is keeping the federal government in check? They are breaking the law blatantly, one very recent example being the release of the Epstein stuff. Nothing happens, nothing is holding them accountable.
It's only going to get worse, they lose in court and find another angle to keep breaking the law, over and over, there simply isn't enough institutional power in the USA to do anything against it.
The execution of the law is left to the... executive branch. The constitution specifies that power of the executive is vested onto one person (yeah, really).
When the person tasked with executing the law is a convicted criminal and is ignoring laws himself...
