Something important to understand about ICE thugs in the Twin Cities is that they're harassing innocent kids and parents at bus stops and schools every single day. Even after the Pretti shooting. It's terrorism.

A reminder that ICE hasn’t slowed down in Minneapolis at all.
Outside of Minnesota, it might feel like everything has changed since Alex Pretti’s murder. But ICE hasn’t actually lost any power and they’re continuing to terrorize our communities.

For those hoping MN would see a change in ICE behavior starting today based on Bovino's departure, if we're looking at the anecdotal reports we're getting, ICE presence in the Twin Cities appears to be as active as ever. More reporting, as always, to follow.
Tuesday brought a changing of the guard in the Minnesota immigration crackdown of the Trump administration as Tom Homan arrives to take the lead replacing Border Patrol commander at large Gregory Bovino, who was moved out of Minnesota.
Who is Tom Homan, the Trump administration’s new lead on Minnesota immigration crackdown?
Tom Homan, a White House adviser to President Donald Trump on immigration and border control issues, is the new face of the administration’s Minnesota deportation campaign.

Democrats must make rescinding that money the price of any future govt funding, as Republicans did with IRS money from the IRA.

This is actually the really simple story of the collapse of American democracy. You can explain America’s constitutional collapse in a single coherent sentence:
The Founders assumed that Members of Congress would jealously and zealously guard the powers and prerogatives of their branch of government against the grasping of an overweening Executive, and instead we got this supine GOP majority that yearns to lick the boot.
I would like to think the Mad King proclaiming “I will continue to illegally raise taxes on the American people until the NATO alliance collapses” would be the type of statement to cause Congress to act, but I’m not sure there’s any red line the GOP Congress has anymore.
