DOJ's response to MN's request for TRO to be able to get evidence of Alex Pretti's murder is sealed--bc, DOJ claims, FBI Agents in MN have been threatened. It presents no evidence of that. INSTEAD, it cites a Jan6er who threatened HIS FBI agent.

A few days ago, Rep. Laura Gillen was one of 7 House Democrats who voted with Republicans to fund DHS without the policy changes most Dems wanted. Now she’s calling for impeaching Kristi Noem. Politics are rapidly shifting here.

ICE is acting like this because there aren't many hotels left that will let them in.
Minneapolis, MN -
Many more agents outside the hotel filing in, a few journos had weapons pointed at them. Teargas deployed at the small remaining protesters outside the hotel.

Carter turns to the voter roll demand, which they lost in the courts.
Per Carter, the government responds: "We don't care. We're going to put violence and chaos in the streets and we're going to force it with illegal conduct."
"If THAT doesn't violate the 10th Amendment...."

the smartest thing to do right now would be to make a show of disciplining some ICE agents and quietly pull back from minneapolis. the president offers his condolences and maybe even makes a direct donation to the family. you fire bovino and replace him with someone more quietly depraved, etc.

Elected officials often wriggle out of these situations - placating public opinion and defusing demands for reform - by throwing one cop under the bus. That option is unavailable to Trump because if even a hint of *possible* accountability is introduced into this dynamic, the whole thing collapses.
