If you are surprised that everyday non-political/non-activist Minnesotans are rising up against ICE, you have not been to Minnesota.
Lived in the TC for ten years, never known people more likely help a stranger out. Not that other places are hostile. But Minnesota raises the bar.

We’re in a moral fight, and Democrats in Congress need to start acting like the opposition party on every 👏🏽 damn 👏🏽 thing 👏🏽
Opposition isn’t about polite press releases and sad cable hits. It’s about using every procedural tool available to slow, expose, and force accountability.

Opening fraudulent investigations into Governor Walz & Mayor Frey is a textbook example of prosecutorial misconduct. Judges must start imposing sanctions and holding lawyers accountable.
To every federal official participating in these shams: one day you will be held accountable.

Instead of investigating the death of Renee Good, Trump wants to investigate Governor Walz & Mayor Frey. Despicable.
This is a clear weaponization of justice against Trump's political rivals & a desperate attempt to distract from ICE's growing brutality & Trump's lawlessness.

I'll simply note again that the way these GOP policies are being covered, compared to the hyperventilating about "overheating" & the "least responsible economic policy in 40 years" & policy "failure" when Joe Biden did major fiscal stimulus <during a raging global pandemic> is not remotely the same.
Greg Ip: This year, fiscal policy, monetary policy, and credit policy are all “dialed toward stimulus, reflecting a single-minded focus by Trump and congressional Republicans on faster economic growth. The consequences will come later.” www.wsj.com/economy/trum...
Trump Wants to Run the Economy Hot. There’s a Good Chance He’ll Succeed.
While there are risks to dialing up the stimulus, but they are off in the future.

I don’t believe that for a second. Readying 1,500 active duty infantry soldiers to deploy on the streets of American cities does not signal a fear of optics to me. These are the exact optics he campaigned on.
Trump is privately worried about the "optics" of ICE raids and his advisers are looking for ways to soften them, Axios reports. I'm calling bullshit: The terror and violence cannot be hived off from the broader policy agenda. They are 100% intrinsic to it.

Trump’s Own Advisers Suddenly Unnerved as ICE Raids Take Horrific Turn
So the president doesn’t like the “optics” of what ICE is doing. But there’s no such thing as sanitized, popular mass deportations—and this is by design.
