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.

Domestic violence, extremist politics and guns are sadly correlated regardless of gender.
It seems like the primary motivation here was domestic violence/family annihilation. But there were tensions between the shooter and their ex-wife's family over the shooter's medical transition. The Nazi stuff hasn't appeared in the publicly available court and police records. Idk man. Mess.

DHS moans that they’re being “obstructed,” but then agents spend their time tracking down legal observers’ homes to show up and menace them.
Which really demonstrates that the mission being obstructed is straight up dominance. They can’t abide a community that doesn’t bend the knee to them.

Between this and the story about the ice agents who ate at a Mexican restaurant and then arrested some of its workers when they were done, it's a reminder that these people reject even the most basic social agreements of hospitality and of helping others. They're sociopaths.
CCTV footage appears to show DHS agents posing as people having car trouble in order to lure a target out of his house before arresting them. The target comes out and starts helping them before 3 vehicles surround the scene. The car "experiencing" trouble then drives off with them.
