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.

(17,343 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.
