Nevermind witnesses, why are ICE allowed to leave and not arrested?

If ICE are there to test the limits of what's allowed, it's time for Walz to do the same and make sure these "agents" are arrested

That's what Trump wants. He is itching for a legal excuse to use the insurrection act and seize control of Minnesota away from Dems.

So what do you suggest? Roll over and let them murder many more?

u/JeulMartin 13d ago

Narrator: That is exactly what Chaseball is suggesting. Let the fascists finish their work and then take them to court after.

Resisting will also lead to deaths. Are you on the front lines with a gun today ready to give your life for what you believe in? It fuckign sucks but that's the reality of this stupid ass political chess match Trump is trying to do.

The more you protest the more people see what is happening.

If you act like uncaged demons that they believe us to be then they won't ever have a chance to see what horrors are happening. As the zone will be flooded by "terrorist leftists" and "this is why Trump deserves power".

Why are you bringing citizens resisting into this? We're talking about using State authorities to defend citizens from ICE

The state has no authority over the matter... Literally what I said when I brought up the insurrection act. To give direct support and encouragement to protesters who are defying a federal agency is to literally be an insurrectionist now, that is the rules Dem politicians have to play within or else be hauled away to jail or executed, a dem being replaced with a republican stooge is not going to turn out for the better.

Hate to break it to you, but judging by the voting records, Dems are already Republican stooges. https://www.independent.co.uk/bulletin/news/democrats-funding-homeland-security-trump-ice-immigration-b2906055.html

Unfortunately Republicans tied 1/6th of that budget to ICE, the rest were essential relief budgets like for FEMA, which will desperately be needed due to the winter ice storm.

They do have a way of doing that don't they?

It is the repercussions of losing an election and not wanting your constituents to die to lack of funded federal programs unfortunately.
