Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

I’m seeing posts from people (outside of MN) about how US citizens should carry their passports.
And let me say that *inside* MN, we are calmly responding to requests with: “No, I don’t have to show you any documentation.”
Because that’s how you protect everyone, regardless of immigration status.

Donald Trump feels a deep kinship with and respect for anyone who runs any kind of scam or film-flam. Mystery solved
NEW: Trump's mysterious commutation of David Gentile has upset & confused his victims.
Several of the businesses in which their life savings were invested had Scientology links.
Gentile is a Scientologist himself, but the church says it had nothing to do with the commutation.
