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?

      Greene is Putin’s lap dog. And Putin is the only guy who would really benefit from a split. He benefits just from Greene talking about a split.

      The article was mainly to meet the requirements of the sub. My real question is in the body. What could trump actually do if blue states ingore his orders. And in this case we are talking about the governments of the states, not the people, so blue and red really exist in that way. It seems using the military is highly questionable with a lot of confusing laws and exceptions. Enough that I bet most military commanders would refuse to act without supreme court clarification. So what could trump really do? The blue states could just practice civil disobedience essentially.
