Donald Trump has agreed to pull ICE agents out of Minnesota and allow local police to investigate the shooting of a protester by federal agents, Governor Tim Walz has said.
In a statement, Walz’s office said: ‘Governor Walz had a productive call with President Trump earlier today. The Governor made the case that we need impartial investigations of the Minneapolis shootings involving federal agents, and that we need to reduce the number of federal agents in Minnesota.
‘The President agreed that he would talk to his Department of Homeland Security about ensuring the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension is able to conduct an independent investigation, as would ordinarily be the case.
So who’s next on the killing spree tour? Or is this just a ploy to get the last budget bill passed by the end of January and avoid a government showdown? Meaning that February brings another round of how to kill Americans.
If I were a thinking Dem, not the Schumer kind, I’d shut down the government anyway until ICE had severe guard rails on it’s activities (as in new federal laws that completely stop this bullshit) and all the leadership that ran ICE was tanked. Close down the government until that happens. Seriously. This is not a country I want to live in. If closing the government destroys what I’m currently living in, I don’t see a downside to that.
I wouldn’t believe this lying pos. He might say this today but tomorrow he’ll obstruct in the typical Trump way.
So Watz just handed over the voter rolls?
If trump remembers….
Get the fuck out. Both literally, ICE GTFO and figuratively I’ll believe it when I see it.
We would hope so.
What did Walz have to give up to get this concession?
In other words, deals were made.
Trump got scared of the optics.
Walz caved in and decided to do the deportations through the state.
Does this feel like enough to everyone? Two people were murdered on the street, and their murderers are still at large. ICE still is operating without any constraints.
The party of law and order refused to let law and order do it’s job until they got exposed nationally as supporting the murder of American citizens
Middle of last week Trump “pulled back” on his talk about invading Greenland. By Saturday he was already back to posting about the US invading Greenland. He doesn’t deescalate. He says something to get his enemies to relax, then he pushes harder while they are stepping back. Same tactic as Russia uses in international relations. Absolutely no one should expect or behave like Trump will do anything but become more authoritarian and violent.
Just so people know the head line is only half true and kinda exaggerates the other part. Waltz says trump is letting Mn investigate and supposedly will look into getting some ice agents out of Mn not all.
We will see if it lasts or if they give the real evidence over.
People who believe and follow him are the problem. He’s nothing without voters and followers.
We have to engage with them, talk to them. And even if they deserve all the shame, ridicule and moral guilt for what’s happening, pushing for that is counterproductive.
I’ll take “keeping their pride intact and gently nudge them to blame Trump for everything” over the pyrrhic victory of making them realize they were the problem all along.
