Gov. Tim Walz announced that 2,000 to 3,000 armed federal agents have been deployed to Minnesota as part of immigration enforcement operations he described as a campaign of organized brutality, Wednesday night.
During a press conference streamed live on Youtube, Walz said ICE agents are conducting door-to-door operations, making traffic stops and detaining individuals at grocery stores, bus stops and schools. He added that agents are ordering people to point out where their neighbors of color live and pulling over people indiscriminately, including U.S. citizens, and demanding to see their papers.
The governor claimed federal operations have included breaking windows, dragging pregnant women down the street and shoving them into unmarked vans.
My words: Impeach That Thug in the White House.

(43 posts)But at the end of the day no one is coming to save us but
us. Not the military or fbi or the cia or the police, etc. No one. Theres a really good article on Salon.com by Amanda Marcotte about this. She mentions a man in MN wondering who to call. And of ofc the answer is theres no one to call.
We pinned our hopes on Mueller, the democrats, voting, etc. Now were down to ourselves.

There will be violence, but it won't be universal.

(17,346 posts)What a passionate statement covering all the bases. He's a true leader, unlike the cowardly orange excuse of a man.
We cannot look away from all that's happening in Minnesota because, as he said, it could be our state next. We need to rid Congress of ALL republicans - every last one of them.

(2,676 posts)Is Trump is trying to get people to fight back against ICE, so he can declare a national emergency, and prevent the elections. Trump wants bloodshed and ICE is doing their best to incite a riot. ICE is Trump's private Army.
What ICE fears is exposure - people finding who they are and their personal data. Russia already DOS'd the ICE dox website (what does that tell you?) And they fear being held accountable for their crimes of terrorism. If we can break the ICE, (pun) we can stop Pedo Don.
What is a shame is our own police and state NG are not standing up to ICE's terrorism, which makes me thing they are in on it. All it would take would be one instance of cops kettling an ICE detachment, throwing them in a vehicle and jailing them some place unknown.
MN has a Castle doctrine law - I think every house should post a copy on the front door, along with a copy of the 2nd amendment..Make ICE think they will get shot if they even bang on the door. IOW do anything to make ICE afraid to kidnap / assault / murder people. Use bear spray. Even open carry, like the black panthers are doing in California.

(32,327 posts)So nice to see a prominent politician, doing what's proper and desperately needed. Way past time to confront and prevent the movement to turn our nation into a police state. I just hope to hell it's not too late.
How about a "for real" Nobel Prize for the Governor of Minnesota? He damn sure deserves it.
angrychair
(11,760 posts)He is implying he will call up that national guard but what is misunderstood is that just means they will be out there beating down protestors with ICE not protecting them. That isn't how that works.
This is only more oppression of first amendment rights to pacify a wannabe dictator.
