Is there a Republican left who isn't a willing participant?

The Minsky Moment

QuoteThe U.S. Department of Homeland Security says it has sent roughly 3,000 agents from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and U.S. Border Patrol to Minnesota . . . Twin Cities officials say federal agents now outnumber local law enforcement and do not give any prior warning about their activities.

During a news conference Tuesday at the Minnesota State Capitol, St. Paul Police Chief Axel Henry, Hennepin County Sheriff Dawanna Witt and Brooklyn Park Police Chief Mark Bruley reported that off-duty officers in their departments are being stopped by ICE and Border Patrol agents and being asked for proof of citizenship. All of those stopped were people of color, something Witt called "concrete examples of profiling."

Bruley described an encounter in which one of his officers was "boxed in" by federal agents, who held her at gunpoint and demanded to see her papers. When the off-duty officer tried to record the stop with her phone, one of the agents knocked the device from her hand. The agents finally left when she identified herself as a Brooklyn Park police officer.

When constitutional government is restored to the United States, ICE will have to be completely dismantled and reconstructed from scratch.  It's rot from the top all they way down.
We have, accordingly, always had plenty of excellent lawyers, though we often had to do without even tolerable administrators, and seen destined to endure the inconvenience of hereafter doing without any constructive statesmen at all.
--Woodrow Wilson

Man. I had no idea illegals were such a problem in Minnesota. Almost like ICE is using immigration as the flimsiest of pretexts. At least at those numbers people won't do anything untowards like saying mean things to them :P
Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".
Hubris must be punished. Severely.

In a just world once the Trumpists fall there would be trials and Justice (maybe some hangings for fun). But that'll never happen.
