1,500 #soldiers on standby for possible #Minnesota deployment, reports say, as #state mobilizes #NationalGuard

The soldiers are on prepare-to-deploy orders in case violence escalates in Minnesota, according to the Washington Post. It is typical for the #Pentagon “to be prepared for any decision #Trump may or may not make,” the White House said in a statement to CNN.

Ahead of the meeting, #Trump reiterated his desire for #Greenland, writing on social media Wednesday that “the United States needs Greenland for the purpose of National Security,” saying that its strategic Arctic location made it necessary for the proposed Golden Dome missile defense system he wants to build. “ #NATO becomes far more formidable & effective with Greenland in the hands of the UNITED STATES. Anything less than that is unacceptable.”

#Trump claimed that if the #UnitedStates doesn’t take over #Greenland, #Russia or #China will. [ #FactCheck, #false]

The talks were expected to take place at the #State Department but the venue was changed after #JDVance expressed a desire to be included. [ #Denmark & Greenland thought bubbles, “Great this douche is gonna chew up the time with propaganda & self aggrandizing BS.”]

6 federal prosecutors in #Minnesota resigned Tuesday over the #DOJ’s push to investigate the #widow of a woman killed by an #ICE agent & the department’s reluctance to investigate the #shooter….

Joseph H. Thompson, who was second in command at the #USattorney’s office & oversaw a sprawling fraud investigation that has roiled Minnesota’s political landscape, was among those who quit Tuesday, acc/to 3 people with knowledge of the decision.

Thompson’s resignation came after senior #DOJ officials pressed for a #criminal “investigation” into the actions of the #widow of #ReneeNicoleGood, the #Minneapolis woman killed by an #ICE agent Wednesday.

Thompson, 47, a career prosecutor, objected to that approach, as well as to the DOJ’s refusal to include #state officials in investigating whether the #shooting itself was lawful….

#Minnesota AG Keith Ellison told CNN he is trying to figure out who he “can get on the phone with & persuade to reverse this poor decision,” referring to #federal investigators excluding a #state agency from investigating Wednesday’s fatal #ICE #shooting in #Minneapolis.

“What I have seen is deeply disturbing & there is sufficient basis for further investigation & potential charges,” Ellison said of the case.

Before hearing the news, Ellison said he was still trying to reverse the #federal govt’s course.

“I’m still trying to say: Wait a minute, don’t do this stupid thing! Do not go forward with an exclusive, which would be an inherently untrustworthy investigation. Do what is right, do what is wise, do what is best for this country, & have an inclusive joint investigation that includes cooperation by state & local authorities,” he said.

#Federal agents are *generally* #immune from state prosecution for actions taken as part of their official duties. However, #immunity only applies when an officer's actions were authorized under federal law & were necessary & proper.

If #Minnesota charged the agent, he could seek to move the case to federal court & argue he is immune from prosecution.

To prevail, the #state would have to show the actions were outside his official duties or were objectively unreasonable or clearly unlawful.

If a judge ruled the officer was #immune, the case would be dismissed & the state would not be able to charge him again.

Can the #ICE agent who shot & killed a #Minneapolis woman be prosecuted?

#Minnesota’s #UseOfForce #law permits #state #police to use deadly force ONLY IF reasonable officers would believe doing so was necessary to protect themselves, or others, from death or serious harm.

#Federal law has a similar standard, permitting use of deadly force when a reasonable officer would have probable cause to believe a person posed an immediate threat of death or serious injury.

Walz said the #shooting was “totally predictable” & “totally avoidable.” He said federal ofcls were NOT coordinating with local law enforcement.

#TimWalz has twice mentioned the #protests that followed the #murder of #GeorgeFloyd by a #Minneapolis #police officer in 2020, & lessons learned from that experience. The governor was criticized by some for not mobilizing the #NationalGuard more quickly at the time.

Bob Jacobson, the commissioner of the #Minnesota Dept of #PublicSafety, said a #state law enforcement agency was working with the #FBI to investigate the #shooting.

Governor #TimWalz said he had activated the state’s Emergency Operations Center & issued a “warning order” to prepare the #Minnesota #NationalGuard. “We have soldiers in training & prepared to be deployed if necessary,” he said. [Hell yeah. This is 100% what every governor must do. I wrote to Pritzker about it, but 🤷🏼‍♀️]

Secy of #State #MarcoRubio said the “capture” of President #Maduro & his wife from #Venezuela was a “law enforcement” operation as a rationale for not going to #Congress, yet #Trump said the #US will now run the country & said “We’re not afraid of boots on the ground,” neither of which would be the result of a #LawEnforcement action.

Also AG #PamBondi was not included in the news conference announcing what would absolutely be the most significant #prosecution of her career.

#Trump spoke more about #oil than anything else. I don’t think I even heard him mention #democracy a single time. He vowed to fix #Venezuela’s oil infrastructure & said the #US plans to sell it to other countries [again, how is this legal?].

“We’re in the oil business. We’re going to sell it to them,” Trump said. he said oil companies will pay for the rebuilding of Venezuela’s oil infrastructure, & the wealth will pour in.

#Trump Officials Accused of Mob Tactics to Kill a #Climate Measure

Nations were poised to approve the first fee on #pollution from #ships. That’s when the Trump admin began the #threats.

Among other threats from US officials, Secretary of #State #MarcoRubio personally called officials in several countries to threaten financial penalties & other punishments if they continued to support the ship pollution agreement.

The #WestVirginia Citizen Action Group then filed a lawsuit claiming Morrisey exceeded his #authority.

Under #state #law, the group argued, the governor could deploy the #NationalGuard out of state only for certain purposes, such as responding to a #NaturalDisaster or another state’s #emergency request.

Morrisey’s office has argued the deployment was authorized under federal law.
