“Oh, Minnesota,” #Trump told the crowd, dropping into the just-you-&-me-talking mode that has always been one of his greatest assets as a politician. “You know what’s going on. You know what I’m talking about. Do you know what I’m talking about? Be politically correct. Just nod — quietly nod. The whole world knows what’s happening in #Minnesota.”

There is the genuinely stunning fraud scandal, recently revealed, that happened on Walz’s watch. And there is the long shadow of #GeorgeFloyd. But to understand both the crackdown & its stakes, it’s also worth revisiting a speech #Trump gave in the city in Nov 2016, two days before the election that would first deliver him to the White House.

#Trump’s Fight With #Minnesota Is About More Than #Immigration

The state embodies a #civic ideal that the admin wants to discredit.

There are plenty of obvious reasons #Minneapolis, despite ranking FAR DOWN the list of US cities in terms of its #immigrant #population, is the latest #Democratic-led urban area targeted by Trump’s punitive anti-immigration raids. There is #TimWalz, the governor & Trump’s 2024 rival.

“A federal judge⚡️in Minnesota has ordered restrictions on ICE's tactics against protesters who aren't suspected of committing crimes — including stopping cars that aren't obstructing them.”
-K Cheney

This ruling is warranted, and overdue; hopefully conditions will improve in Minneapolis, but it’s Trump’s #DHS & #DOJ, so it’s doubtful they’ll fully comply.

🚨🚨🚨🚨

The #DOJ has issued #subpoenas for #Minnesota Gov #TimWalz & #Minneapolis Mayor #JacobFrey as part of a criminal investigation into impeding law enforcement.

The subpoenas, which are without recent precedent, escalate an already bitter political battle between the #Trump admin & state officials following the fatal #shooting of #ReneeGood by an #immigration officer last week.

Also today if I'm counting correctly a total of TEN Federal prosceutors resigned.

Four DOJ prosecutors resigned today and six US Attonery's Office Lawyers based in Minnesota also called it quits today.

They all say they have been asked to do unethical things. Like speed through the investigation into murderous cops Jonathan Ross or in the case of the US Atty's Office, inveistage Becca Good who survived the cop shooting.

The state better step up.

#Trump #DOJ claims no basis for #criminal #CivilRights probe in #Minnesota #ICE #shooting, a top department official said Tuesday.

The decision to keep the DOJ’s Civil Rights Division out of the investigation into the fatal shooting of #ReneeNicoleGood is a sharp departure from past admins, which moved quickly to probe shootings of civilians by law enforcement ofcls for potential civil rights offenses.

"That is the level of rot we are dealing with. Four of the highest-ranking officials in the unit, leaders who have spent their careers investigating police violence, quit in protest."
