Could the blue states just ignore orders from the white house? Like if he orders them to round up illegal aliens? What could trump do about it?

    I don’t think the military would follow. They wouldn’t outright disobey, but they would stall with loopholes and what not. I read they were ordered to help with the rodney king riots, but when they were asked to do anything specific they denied the request based on legal questions about if they could. In the end they basically didn’t do much at all. Most of the brass are poloticians, they know how to play the game.
