They can tell themselves whatever lies help them justify a retreat.
But the facts are that the public here has been determinedly law abiding. The preponderance of unlawful acts have been committed *by* Holman's law enforcement and *against* the community.

Calling the Gestapo “the Gestapo” is causing the Gestapo to act like the Gestapo.
Homan: "I begged for the last two months on TV for the rhetoric to stop. I said in March -- if the rhetoric doesn't stop, there is gonna be bloodshed. And there has been. I wish I wasn't right. I don't want to see anybody die."

Homan says agents have been “in theater a long time”. They see this as combat, as war.
Q: Can you be specific about how many ICE and CBP agents are currently operating in the state?
HOMAN: 3,000. There's been some rotations. They've been in theater a long time. Day after day, can't eat in restaurants, people spin on you, blowing whistles at you. But my main focus now is draw down

At the most fundamental level, the Trump admin is still treating peaceful protesters as the aggressors and the heavily armed government militias as the victims, even though Homan, Miller, Noem, Trump have spent months torquing them into a frenzy of hate and telling them they can act with impunity.

This is an extraordinary story. Republicans in Congress should be shouting, loudly, to Trump-Vance-Miller to call off this deeply inhumane attack next week.

Even under SCOTUS's dubious reasoning in Trump v. U.S., there is no scenario in which maneuvering billions of dollars to an offshore account to keep it out of reach from Congress and courts is an "official act." This is all criminal and impeachable.
Marco Rubio: "The oil proceeds are being deposited into an account that ultimately will become a US Treasury blocked account here in the US. We will say 'this is what this money can be spent on.' They will submit to us a budget request -- 'we want to use the money on these things.'"

There are 3 people responsible for ICE's lawlessness, and we must keep the focus on them, make them the face of the killings/terror campaign: Trump, Vance, and Miller.
This is their play. They are the architects, the implementers. Everyone else is a fall guy.

5 things I'm recommending for Dem list for reining in ICE:
- ICE must leave Minnesota immediately
- Clarity of mission, prioritization of criminals, no targeting of legal immigrants
- No masks
- Aggressive oversight of detention centers
- Miller has to go 👇

Since we published this, Pam Bondi's X account has started posting mugshots of Minnesotans arrested for impeding ICE/CBP. Sharing a defendant's photo publicly in this way is forbidden under DOJ rules
ICE and CBP are at the head of Trump's campaign to terrorize Minnesotans. But the Justice Department is not far behind.
