The way that these guys are being constantly embarrassed, pushed around, and mobbed in a way they absolutely cannot control by the public in an increasingly dramatic fashion is giving me hope.
Today at the Whipple Federal Building in Minnesota while federal agents rushed the protest crowd, one agent is filmed pushing a protester and slipping on ICE. Another agent has his pepperball gun broken and he slips on the cartridge holder while dropping pepperballs all over.

On the ground here in Minnesota, it’s hard to reconcile the immense bonds of community that have been built in a week with the fact that we live in a country whose government appropriated billions of dollars to an unaccountable paramilitary force whose sole purpose is ethnic cleansing.

I know you’re angry. I’m angry. What Donald Trump wants is violence in the streets.

But Minnesota will remain an island of decency, of justice, of community, and of peace.

When an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent shot and killed 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis, it wasn't the first time that federal officers have killed civilians since the Trump administration launched its aggressive immigration enforcement campaign.

So, if I'm reading this right:

4 prosecutors at the Dept of Justice Civil Rights division quit because the Trump-appointed leadership won't investigate Good's killer,

and

6 from the Minnesota US Attorney's office quit when they were told instead to investigate her widow.
