Is there a lawfag that can explain how if 11.3 is currently activated, how the EO are working and are departments like ICE following them (e.g. releasing felons?)

With a post with that much energy, this is why I'm quietly confident that we will win. I'm an Ozzy here so I missed out on American civil classes, with your post and what's going on, make me wonder the following-
Point 3 I think is the key one as this would show the other pieces falling into place.What is your thought on my very high altitude overview?
Yeah, I think you're right -
Apathy and/or selfishness is the norm for the average citizen anywhere in the world. As long as the sheep continue to get paid and engage in the consumption of entertainment, nobody will ever wake up.
Only with DIRECT injury to one's own livelihood or way of life will the people actually start questioning the "norms" and start clamoring for action.
Biden has to be seen heavy-handedly and callously destroying all semblance of normality. Only after experiencing the "reign of terror" will the fence-sitters and crazy lefties actually come around. Shock therapy so to speak: not too high of a voltage or we'll get fried but enough to wake us up.
Of course all of this depends on whether we can be considered to be in wartime. President Lincoln set precedent by invoking the Insurrection Act to wage war (which is the exclusive right of Congress in the US). War was never declared at any point in the Civil War, nonetheless war is what we got. He and other presidents including his predecessor Andrew Jackson set a precedent of assuming executive powers far beyond what is codified in the Constitution as extensions of Article II in the Constitution (you can look it up but it boils down to the preservation, protection and defense of the Constitution of the United States).
Now in the modern day, there are unlawful/un-Constitutional "restrictions" placed on the invocation of the IA (and other such military actions) but fact remains that recent presidents have been able to effectively wage war even with these restrictions (i.e. the War Powers Resolution (WPR) [Title 50, United States Code, Sections 1541-1548]).
WPR limits the Commander-in-Chief to the deployment of troops for up to 60 days without express consent from Congress (again I believe it to be a highly unlawful restriction). Yet our recent presidents have been totally able to wage war (without an official declaration).
If Trump, with or without invoking IA, had directed the military to take action against the "invasion" of foreign powers vis-a-vis election interference (thereby recognizing a state of war), then yes it would be stipulate that the procedural occupation as prescribed by the DoD Law of War Manual could take place.
This is all hypothetical and entirely hinges upon whether we can even consider ourselves to be at war. Don't wanna get you too high on that hopium or you might take the ropium when it wears off.
