Reports say ICE told leaders of the **Oglala Sioux Tribe** they would get fuller information about four detained tribal members only if the tribe signed an immigration agreement. Tribal officials rejected the demand, citing sovereignty and treaty rights.

Any idea, why Greenland would prefer to be tied to the “dangerous and collapsing EU” (quote:Elon Musk) instead to the self-declared “greatest nation on earth”…?

Walz: "What's happening in MN defies belief. News reports simply don't do justice to the level of chaos & disruption & trauma the federal govt is raining down... This long ago stopped being a matter of immigration enforcement. Instead, it's a campaign of organized brutality against the people of MN"

Words cannot describe how insane it is that we might strike Iran, that Europe moved troops into Greenland while Danish & Greenlandish FMs stood grim-faced after DC meeting, & that the Pentagon is sending lawyers to Minneapolis. Brought to you by the party of national security & law and order.
Breaking news: The Pentagon has begun withdrawing some U.S. troops and assets from a key base in Qatar as a precautionary measure while President Trump weighs whether to take military action against Iran, officials said.

Cautiously optimistic now.
Seems like the US is backing down due to the show of force, and the ultimatum Denmark delivered.
Presser from Greenland/Denmark at 1930, it will be somewhat toned down compared to what happened.
