Non US citizen here. I'm watching all of this shit going down and I wonder (seeing that the mayor of Seattle isn't willing to take corrective action). From what I can see this seems to be a direct threat on the democracy of the US. So, isn't this a matter the US president should address directly and automatically by means of force? And also, isn't this grounds for mayor Jenny Durkan to be tried and prosecuted for treason?

States Rights. We have a republic of allied States, not an all powerful central federal govt.
Ok that is interesting. Thank you. I was under the impression you have independent states (because they all have their own set of laws), but then you also have overarching concerns where the president could step in.
