DHS paramilitaries aren’t in Minneapolis to keep anyone safe. They’re murdering citizens in the street while Trump’s allies demand Minnesota’s voter rolls as the price of leaving. Is this future election theft in progress?
Pam Bondi just sent a letter to Minnesota officials saying ICE will leave if the state turns over its voter database to Trump.
Guess what? This has never been about safety or immigration. It’s a pretext for Trump to take over elections in swing states.

"ICE 101" — How Trump changed ICE and CBP into a fascist secret police
ICE and CBP are fatally flawed products of the post-9/11 War on Terror — now Trump has weaponized those very flaws to occupy America.

At any time, Republican voters could organize recall elections, but they haven't even marched once. Republican voters want this; they condone this; they are the enemy of truth and goodness. They stand with the perpetrators of this terror, and they are protecting the rapists with their silence.
