My daughters father is going to get an Enforcement order to have my child physically removed against her will (she is 3) from my home at his visitation time in 2 weeks. My daughter doesn't know him and doesn't want to go with him. She thows a fit at the mention of his name even when I try to make him look good. Can the Police come and physically remove her at this time?

I allow him to visit in my home where my daughter feels comfortable. He nor I have followed the court ordered schedule because we felt she needs a weaning time. But she still doesn't want to leave with him. I have tried everything.

A huge misconception about law enforcement is that WE are the ones who make the decisions to remove children from the home.
We are, sadly, the ones tasked with enforcing the orders from the court when the court makes those decisions.
However, it sounds like what you need to do is obtain an attorney to represent your interests with information you know about the father! A family law attorney is normally the best to seek in these matters!
As a father myself who visits his daughter...this is a very delicate situation of which the father DOES have a right to visit his child. You seem to be aware of information that you consider this father less desirable to be influencing his daughter. As such, you may wish to consider "supervised" visitation as an alternate!
Best wishes!

Well, considering that she's only THREE and you've probably been trying to keep her away from her father up to very recently, it's no wonder that she's a little frightened at the thought of going with him. The police CAN remove her from your care for visitation. But don't worry, she will get over the awkwardness soon. Maybe it would be best if you introduce them personally until she gets the idea that nothing bad is going to happen to her if she goes to visit her father.
I grew up in a similar situation and I've been told that I was afraid of my father also (after my mother brought me back home from New York, where she's from; she practically kidnapped me). Of course I don't remember that clearly, but my neighbor does. Now I've been living with him for about 18 years. Really, if you don't have anything against the man, things will work out. But if you talk trash about him all the time when he's away, that will slow the process down and make your daughter grow up to think you're a hateful person (when she gets old enough to realize that). Children are not weapons to be used to hurt past lovers . . . nobody deserves that treatment. Not your child, and not her father or you. So try to make things go as smoothly as possible, eh? Have a nice day!

If your daughters father had to go to this extreme, then you must have had something to do with it, like not allowing him to see his daughter..???? But that is just my opinion, and I could be wrong. But get ready for that order to be enforced. Believe it or not, but police don't really want to do stuff like this, but will if there is a signed order from a judge.

Of course he can, you can not make him visit only in your home, he is most liekly allowed weekend visits or longer week custody during certain times.
If you would work harder with her to like her father this most likely would ot happen,
You should be ashamed making him use force to visit properly with his child.
Refusing to allow him visits properly can also get him better grounds to even go back to get more custody rights,
