The attorney general is threatening a state that the federal government will continuing murdering its citizens in the streets unless they provide access to state voter rolls, a lawless demand which is the subject of ongoing litigation.
Fox News: "I've gotten my hands that AG Bondi said she sent to Gov. Tim Walz. It is strongly worded. The AG calls for the governor to support the men and women of ICE, to repeal the state's sanctuary policies, and to allow the DOJ to access state voter rolls."

Watching this old man take a water bottle and slowly walk into a mist of tear gas is going to stay with me. Everything they do to make people scared empowers them all the more.

Stephen Miller is unelected, unconfirmed, getting people killed, and shredding the social fabric of this nation. Members of Congress should be demanding his exit from the Executive Branch.
Of course the repulsive Stephen Miller rushed to defend the murderers. And of course our spineless, pathetic vice president rushed to retweet Miller's lie.

This morning, federal immigration agents publicly executed an observer at 26th and Nicollet Ave South. Observers are out in the community because they care about our immigrant neighbors. They do this out of love and helping keep families together. 1/

I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening.
The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.

ICE is still out and about. If you’re not protesting, make sure you’re patrolling your neighborhood.
We’ve seen multiple ICE cars this morning outside of Waite Park and Cavell Park. Make sure you have eyes on your neighborhood today, and dress warm.

JD Vance came to Minneapolis to blame everyone other than ICE for ICE related violence.
Which sounds just like ICE reporting that a man in ICE custody “purposely ran headfirst into a brick wall.”

Kind of weird being at the center of what might be a world-historical event. I can’t say I like it, but here we are, I guess. Your life is defined by making the most of the random circumstances in which you find yourself.
