Everyone on here wants to make it about one person, but there have been lots of media reports about ICE observing. But it’s just not that interesting once it’s demystified. The bigger issue is no one on the ground can tell the mutual aid side of the story because it risks vulnerable people’s lives.
Trying not to put on my tin foil hat here, but if your strategy was to get the media to think you’d toned it down while actually going harder against the observers, a tactic you’d deploy would be to use a fifth column to divide the observers and box out the press, under a left-coded pretext.

What the fuck are you talking about? Nothing here had indicated riots or destruction. This is some piss-poor, lazy-ass “journalism”. You should be ashamed, Clara.
Friends in Minneapolis are very worried about this development. Both in terms of state police's role in arresting protestors and the worry that this could set off the kind of spiral of distrust and destruction that followed George Floyd's murder.

Exactly right.
Bovino's leaving? Great, get Noem to resign.
Noem resigns? Great, defund and dismantle ICE.
Go after Stephen Miller too. Bring charges against ICE thugs at the state and local level. Lawsuits. New state laws restricting them.
Every possible angle.
