California, Illinois, and Oregon have turned defiance into doctrine—weaponizing courts to block the National Guard while their cities crumble under violent protests and sanctuary chaos.

Together, these projects form a disturbing pattern: a taxpayer-funded scientist building technology that helps illegal immigrants evade federal law enforcement and potentially endangers ICE agents.
