If anyone was wondering, the ~23% reduction in ICE agents in Minnesota apparently doesn't include the ones down the street that are lurking, now as I type this, as vulnerable folks are getting their kids to the school bus this morning.
We cannot rest until ICE is gone, entirely.

this is why the trump team holds pressers like this. they know the msm will just regurgitate the spin and ignore the core -- that homan said thousands will remain in minnesota and that mass deportation policies will continue. msm is useless.
The Trump administration is removing 700 federal immigration agents from Minnesota, border czar Tom Homan said. The move comes weeks after Renee Good and Alex Pretti were killed by agents, sparking protests around the country. nbcnews.to/3MkjPDo

The headline should be, "DHS to keep 2,000 immigration officers in Minnesota."
Instead, it seems the entirety of the traditional media went with, "DHS to withdraw 700 immigration officers from Minnesota."
This presser worked like a charm.

Homan in Minneapolis: "Effective immediately, we will draw down 700 people effective today."

Homan saying that they will remove 700 agents from Minnesota is a good step, but it still leaves 2,000 terrorist personnel on the ground.
ALL ICE agents must be removed. The terrorism must stop.

As Tom Homan moves in to clean up the optics of Minneapolis by "sending home 700 federal immigration and border patrol agents in Minneapolis," remember that nothing will change with the scheme that ICE uses and that they are just going to get smarter about the public finding out.

One of the intended consequences of President Trump’s politicization of the Justice Department is to leave behind a weakened, overwhelmed, decimated organization that simply can’t do its job. This is all coming home to roost in a very visible way in Minnesota:

Almost 80% of ICE's invasion force in Minnesota remains today. It is still operating outside the law and against the wishes of state and local authorities.
This is still going on. Nothing has changed.

What training manual in what agency instructs ICE agents that it's permissible to chase down a protestor and point a loaded gun at the top of their head while screaming at them?
We have to understand that ICE is being instructed by Trump to ignore law and convention and terrorize not police.

Most of the footage you see from ICE observers in Minnesota comes from the core cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul. I talked to observers in the northern suburbs, who say they're taking on the same mission in very different conditions. (1)

Pursued by federal agents, suburban ICE observers remain resolved
After a frightening pursuit by federal agents, suburban ICE observers say fear hasn’t stopped them from protecting their communities.

This is the bare minimum
Sen. Mark Kelly: "Right now they need to get out of Minneapolis & really reevaluate what this agency agency should be. Kristi Noem needs to be fired, by the way. That's a good starting point here. And the senior leadership there, the ones who have implemented these policies, these people need to go"

I wrote about how Congress has turned into a senior center.
How many AOCs are never elected because 80-year-olds refuse to step down?
How many young lawmakers don’t acquire leadership roles — and miss out on years of experience — because seniority is prized above anything else?

Bidens entire administration is/was a failure when they failed to charge, prosecute and convict the guy who literallly committed treason on national TV. Charges should have been filed on day 1. Treason. Sedition. He did it on TV.

Indeed. When they rounded up the Japanese Americans, myself and my family included, for internment during WWII out of fear over Japanese spies and saboteurs, two thirds of us were U.S. citizens.
Don’t think it won’t happen again when they come for the “undocumented.”

Nancy Mace claims on CNN that she supports Matt Gaetz because he's "very good on civil rights and civil liberties issues"
(Gaetz was recently under investigation for sex trafficking, so, yeah, not sure about that one)
