despite the depravity of what I’ve seen at the hands of masked, armed agents indiscriminately targeting people from L.A. to Chicago to Charlotte to Minneapolis, watching everyday people taking peacefully to the streets is giving me extraordinary hope.

Walz told me he wants Bovino and Stephen Miller held accountable for what they’ve done in Minnesota. “Accountability goes all the way to the top.”

Actions speak louder than words.
Tom Homan says he wants to do things differently, but we have yet to see meaningful change.
The only way to ensure the safety of the people of Minnesota is for the federal government to draw down their forces and end this campaign of brutality.

Walz told me that when he spoke to Trump on the phone the president compared the immigration operations in Minneapolis to the military mission he ordered in Venezuela. www.ms.now/news/walz-sa...
Walz says Trump compared Minneapolis surge to Venezuela mission
The Minnesota governor tells MS NOW’s Jacob Soboroff that the reference shows where Trump’s head is. The White House denies that.

WATCH-- Tim Walz on his call with Trump officials: "Not once did they ever say Alex or Renee's name. Not once did they ask how the people of Minnesota were doing. So look, I know who I'm dealing with, and I know the reason that he was calling me was he needed something from us."

swapping Bovino for Homan isn’t a new approach. it’s putting an architect of Trump’s intentionally-cruel family separation policy in charge.

It’s Customs and Border Protection. You’d think she’d know. Also Bovino isn’t the head of CBP. He’s not even the chief of the Border Patrol.
Q: "Is Gregory Bovino also going to remain in Minnesota overseeing these ICE operations?"
Leavitt: "He is going to very much continue to lead customs and Border Patrol throughout and across the country. Mr. Homan will be the main point of contact on the ground in Minneapolis."

These protests work. It was the American people who stopped family separation in 2018, as @katiecouric.bsky.social and I discussed earlier this month. From Minnesota to Los Angeles to Chicago to Charlotte to New York I have seen firsthand they are having an impact again.
