    CBP massing in Minnesota? What’s the deal, lots of people jumping the border in Grand Portage? /s

    Citizens are already sick and tired of ICE operations in Minneapolis, but sure, double down and pour more law enforcement into the area. What a fucking joke, not only should reinforcements be assigned from the National Guard, but even the mayor has said they’re unwelcome. Go home Feds, and take your ball with you.

      Trump has been asking the DoJ about invoking the Insurrection Act over the immigrant “invasion” since, I believe, inauguration day. The escalation of ICE presence, activity, and tacticsay very well be an intentional effort to provoke a resistance that the DoJ would feel comfortable recommending invoking the Insurrection Act over.

        I hear you, and I understand this rationale, but I keep feeling as though a lot of people are missing the subtext - they’re going to do it anyway, they don’t need any actual provocation to take those actions, they’ll manufacture (not quite false flag, but in the ballpark) the scenario and narrative required to strip states, cities. and citizens of their rights.

        Conservatives and MAGA are salivating at the opportunity to gain the power needed to liquidate their ideological opponents… Frankly, I’d be shocked if they don’t do it, or at least give it the old college try.

      You’re talking about the demented rapist’s most often used and predictable response.
