👀 Looks like the husband of the woman ICE abducted called his lawyer, lawyer called the cops, then the police chief went and got her & took her home
Article says it may be the first time local Minnesota PD "intervened in a federal law enforcement action" since Trump started terrorizing the state

![Screenshot from the quote skeeted article reading as follows:
The husband told MPR News that after his wife was taken into custody, he called his attorney, and soon after, he got a call from St. Peter Chief of Police Matt Grochow, whom he said he has known for years.
“I was talking to him, kind of venting some of my frustrations,” the man said, adding that he urged the chief to have his officers just be more visible during the federal enforcement actions. “If [local police] were present and they could see you, I promise you their behavior more than likely, or hopefully, would, you know, be appropriate and law abiding.”
The husband says he talked to the chief for a while and “we had a good conversation.”
“He asked me, ‘what was your wife's name’? I told him my wife's name. He said, ‘was she picked up in a bronco?’ And I said, ‘I'm not sure, but it was an SUV, dark colored. I'd have to look at my video.’ He goes, ‘I think I got her. I'll call you back’.”
The husband said a few minutes later, the chief called again, “and said, I got her or I'm bringing her home.”
“I was just so relieved that she got released and was able to come home,” he said.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:kjklbsuepdppuppsfluytydl/bafkreigyienimomaibubdhiar3ijsvfacklpw2tqbnjnbphxenb5yvegk4@jpeg)

I am not one of those Epstein files will show Trump raping kids people, but this is some shady shit.
Blanche on Epstein files: "The number of responsive pages is significantly smaller than the total number of pages initially collected. That's what we're releasing more than 3 million pages today and not the 6 million pages that we collected."

Trump does not know anything about Fort Sumter.
Q: Gov. Walz recently likened the conflict on the ground to Ft. Sumter, implying that this is the beginning of civil war. Do you feel there's a civil war brewing in Minneapolis?
TRUMP: Does he know what Ft. Sumter was or do you think somebody wrote it out for him? I was elected on law and order

I get tired of saying it, but I’ll say it again: the nature of oppression in America is that they workshop it first on Black, Latino, Asian & Native people.
But it is always, in the end, coming for everyone.

The arrests of journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort are a test for every MSM member with a platform. If you are not voicing your outrage at this blatant violation of the First Amendment, you are utterly discredited as a journalist.

Listening to BBC where they are interviewing two former ICE agents who are calling protestors agitators and who are lying about Renee Good. Someone should tell them, you can easily argue that America was started on the idea of standing in front of authority and saying no.
