Trump declares war on Minnesota

[Syne]

No, then you'd just fuel the "they're disappearing people" conspiracies... which democrats and their media accomplices would amplify. They're already yelling about illegal aliens being "disappeared."

Ex-ICE director under Obama interviewed
https://youtu.be/wF3odx_Cr3Q

Former ICE Director John Sandweg (2013–2014), who served under President Barack Obama, asked about the differences between then and today...

• The majority of ICE arrests during the Obama administration (and up until 2025) actually happened at the border, away from the public eye.
  
  
• Some unauthorized migrants were taken into ICE custody while in prison or jail, not out in the streets.
  
  
• When "at large" migrants did have to be tracked down and arrested (similar to today), they were precisely targeted, with a lot of vetting of the individual's criminal history taking place before the teams went out. They were laser-focused and quietly constrained, not trying to grab everyone up in the open.
  
  
• Border patrol agents uprooted from their normal environment are not trained to deal with aggressive protesters and chaotic situations in cities, and the spotlight of the latter.

Tactics used today are designed to capture the most people ... https://youtu.be/wF3odx_Cr3Q

If sanctuary cities/states force us to spend the money to deploy enough agents to operate there, why wouldn't we get more bang for our buck and maximize apprehensions? Optics and opposition media aren't enough to deter it.

Don Lemon got his ass arrested at the Grammys for participating in the St.Paul church protest.

And before any morons cry foul about the press and the First Amendment, remember, a Blaze journalist was arrested for covering the Jan 6th protest in the capital.

Who did he shoot in the head?

If we imagine for a moment.. Trump's priorities are..
1.Trump.. love, respect and other narcississy things
2.The Trump/America show
3.America and Americans
4.The Republican Party
Public executions work well with the far right (and left) but not so well with the middle ground - aka 'the majority'.

[Syne]

Who did he shoot in the head?

You do know there are a lot of other crimes, right?
I know you don't recognize a lot of them as crimes, but...

[Magical Realist]

What crime?

"Lowell called Lemon's arrest an "unprecedented attack on the First Amendment" and said the journalist "will fight these charges" in court.

Lowell had said last week that a magistrate judge rejected charges against Lemon, and a source told ABC News that Bondi last week was "enraged" at the magistrate judge's decision to not charge the journalist.

Minnesota Chief U.S. District Judge Patrick Schiltz also wrote to the 8th Circuit appeals court last week that Lemon and his producer were “not protesters at all,” and that “[t]here is no evidence that those two engaged in any criminal behavior or conspired to do so.”

Gullible people listening to the accused person's lawyer. 9_9

As usual, you act like you don't know appellate courts exist.

Appeals court finds evidence to charge Don Lemon over church protest, but won’t force arrest warrant

The decision, unsealed Saturday by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit, came after DOJ asked the appeals court to overrule a Minnesota magistrate judge who refused to approve multiple arrest warrants related to the protest.

Maybe it's not an act at all.

He was charged under the FACE act, which was pushed by Democrats. LOL!

Again:

And before any morons cry foul about the press and the First Amendment, remember, a Blaze journalist was arrested for covering the Jan 6th protest in the capital.

‘No Precedent’: Fed Judge Denies Minnesota Injunction To Stop ICE Surge

The judge also found that the plaintiffs had not shown that the balance of harms decisively favored issuing an injunction.

A federal judge on Saturday denied Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison’s request for an injunction to halt the Trump administration’s immigration enforcement surge in Minnesota, finding the case did not justify extraordinary judicial intervention.

U.S. District Judge Katherine M. Menendez, a Biden appointee, wrote that Ellison and lawyers for St. Paul and Minneapolis had asked the court to extend existing precedent to the point of novelty, noting in her order that “none of the cases on which they rely have even come close.”
