This morning, the Trump Administration’s Department of War gave me an ultimatum: call up your troops, or we will. It is absolutely outrageous and un-American to demand a Governor send military troops within our own borders and against our will.

This is demonstrably pathetic and a sign of true weakness.
The Feds lack the numbers to do what they want to do. They can hurt, yes, but not at the authoritarian scale that (de facto President) Miller desires.
So they go for the media-bait illusions of power.
Like this.
Profoundly weak flex.

ICE boats trawling the Chicago River. This is the DUMBEST thing I've seen in my entire life. No exaggeration. What's next? Humvees loaded with armed, masked agents patrolling Disney's Main Street U.S.A.?
