Introductions
Hello everyone aand welcome to the Politics Lab! I have a PhD in comparative politics (that means I compare systems in different countries) and public management, and I've been a politics nerd for 30 years. Being a high-functioning autistic gives me the hyperfocus superpower for this kind of thing! I have a dog and a cat, and am a dad for two teenagers. And this is my workspace! Please introduce yourself and your workspace! Need tutoring? Find me at Superprof and message me with the word "LOOM" for priority booking!

Consider the deployment of ICE and DHS agents, the state and city lawsuits against the federal government, and public officials’ responses to these operations. What theoretical frameworks help explain the tensions between local authority and federal enforcement in this case?
