It's more real than I'm comfortable with, unfortunately. I definitely wouldn't put it past some state governors, either.

Kent State Massacre

to be fair, that's just precedent for the NG being used as a violent force, not necessarily being used to en masse deport illegal, but tax paying, immigrants.

State governors need to be involved in national guard mobilization and governors need to be reelected.

It moderates things.
