Rafie Ollah Shouhed, 79, suffered multiple broken ribs, elbow injuries and a traumatic brain injury during the Sept. 9 incident, according to the federal tort claim filed by his attorneys.
According to his claim, when Shouhed attempted to show agents proof of his employees’ work authorization, agents “cursed at him” and “violently body-slammed him onto the pavement.” Three agents then allegedly pinned him down, with one placing a knee on his neck, the claim stated.
“You don’t f— with ICE. We are here,” agents responded, according to the claim.

I mean it’s a bit ridiculous to suggest that there are no intermediate states between where things are now and total war.
No major historical event in history has followed the trajectory you suggest; there are always intermediate states, evolutions, phases, degrees.
Maybe you just need to be a bit more imaginative, if you will.
