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"

Near Lyndale and 24th Ave in Minneapolis tonight, feds have reportedly shot another person.

Preliminary info is shaky for now, hearing two people injured.

BORTAC just rolled up in an armored vehicle. A crowd is gathering outside the police tape—MPD presence as well.

“ICE is doing what ICE is designed to do” played over video of ICE engaging in acts of violence should be the wall to wall DNC media strategy right now
Mike Johnson comes out against additional guardrails on ICE as Democrats call for it.

“I think there's a lot of Democrats playing games right now with national security and with law enforcement. And I think it's dangerous. Ice is doing what ice is designed to do by its very name.”

They're afraid? They stoke the conditions by ignoring people's constitutional and civil rights, violently apprehending innocents, unlawfully entering people's homes, but they're afraid?

Policy chaos is an economic variable. When leaders threaten the Fed, fire the BLS head, impose tariffs then reverse them, and rattle sabers, no one knows tomorrow’s news. Uncertainty makes firms delay hiring/investing—and households delay big buys.

One of their goals it to miraculously tie *every* immigrant to some foreign terrorist group.

every time they swoop into a city, people in that city learn new tactics, figure out new ways to organize, and come up with new ways to stymie and resist them, which other cities learn from and adapt and add to, and they can only really handle one mid-sized city at a time
That’s the thing they don’t seem to be understanding: like bro, once you realize this is fubar and head out to another city, everyone has seen your whole gimmick and now is ready to be your worst nightmare it doesn’t get any better for them anywhere
