If they end the ICE terrorist surge in Minnesota, and that's a big if, it likely means shifting the surge elsewhere to spread the terror and bringing in new tactics to continue terrorizing people in Minnesota, too.
Dictators don't like to give up power. They always want more.

I was wondering when ICE/Minnesota was going to come up at a curling presser. Curling is very big in Minnesota; both the folks on the mixed doubles team curled at U of M in Duluth, I believe.

US Olympic Curling Team member speaks out against ICE:
"I'm proud to represent Team USA. But we'd be remiss if we didn't mention what's going on in Minnesota and what a tough time it's been. What's happening is wrong. There's no shades of gray."

Bondi is testifying. I watched about 30 seconds- I can't stand to watch her spew her hatred & lies. She acts like she is lowering herself to testify, and is full of distain for all of Congress. F-ing pedo protector. Does she come across as being truthful to anybody? She makes me nauseated.
