But for real, this is the sort of thing that would trigger a progression of events that would almost certainly lead to open civil war. Think about it:

• deputization of specific red-state and red-friendly NG and CBP personnel occurs
• theyre sent to blue states and blue metro areas in particular
• they probably do some Krystalnacht shit, and also probably try to fuck with the state and local governments at the very least, and likely try to do outright violent coups against them
• blue Governors who are on the ball are gonna be like “fuuuuuuuck that” and mobilize their own NG contingents for the defense of their own states and its population
• trump tries to nationalize said defending blue states NGs; the governors tell him to fuck himself
• the NG commanders are faced with a choice: follow what could be very clearly construed as an illegal order by the president, or try to stick to what the spirit of their oath actually is. It’s anybody’s guess how exactly that will play out. Nonetheless, I’m certain some state NGs will echo their governor’s sentiment
• open, armed conflict between US States

So yeah. That’s super fun to think about. Wcgw.
