The default position of the democratic coalition has to be this:
Everyone. Gets. To. Be. Free.
Everyone.
We do not throw members of our coalition to the fashy wolves.
We do not concede that some state-sanctioned bigotry is okay.
Nope.
None of that shit.
We. All. Get. To. Be. Free.
That's it.

I think people usually call this going back to normal, you know, when they kill and kidnap nonwhite people and no one writes pop songs about it.
There is no drawdown. There is no retreat. ICE is just redistributing their assets to better avoid accountability.
The same day DHS announced the surge would end in Minnesota, ICE activity increased in small towns
The less densely populated areas outside the Twin Cities make it harder for protesters and observers to organize.

One part of Jesse Jackson's legacy I feel able to talk about is that he absolutely helped to pull the Democratic Party forward on gay rights. He did so out of both moral conviction-- because it was right--and a shrewd belief in coalition politics. That's one of many lessons we can learn from him.

Simply hire a bunch of 22yo kids into jobs of unclear legitimacy, put them in charge of DHS, fire all DHS employees, and fold DHS into idk the Bureau of Printing and Engraving. It's all legal now. I don't want to hear this loser shit anymore after what they did to my friends.
One thing that's important to realize now is that, even in a scenario where Dems sweep to a crushing trifecta in 2028, Republicans will use their control of the courts to attempt to continue, as much as they can, to run executive agencies in exile, with DHS/ICE under Biden as the model

Also - a thing I’ve been thinking about is that the Trump admin people thought of Minnesota as a lot of very nice white people who by virtue of being nice were not strong which is part of right wing ideology now
There are so many good signs that we don’t talk about enough and the neighborhood organizing in MN and the efforts against ICE abuse and the organic community care for immigrants and people at risk and the volunteer observers
