The question media should be asking: if Minneapolis only needs 600 police officers to perform all general law enforcement activities in the city, why did Trump send 3,000 federal agents to execute a statutorily and constitutionally *much* smaller task?
Answer? He wanted a *war*.

ICE keeps saying the people protesting it are being paid without any evidence, but we have receipts showing that the people *defending* ICE are absolutely being paid.
And yet we only hear lies about the former on cable news.

Corporate Dems like Schumer & Booker are pushing "strongly worded statements" demanding ICE "needs more training."
They're missing the point. The problem with badly trained Nazis is not that they're badly trained—it's that they're Nazis!
