ICE shut down the oldest Mexican restaurant in my hometown of Forest Lake, Minnesota -- a city that voted overwhelmingly for Trump (and Pete Hegseth's hometown too)

(Should add, I spoke to a handful of the armed people before filming. Asked them what they were doing etc. Their stated answer was “immigration investigation”. They engaged somewhat w/questions but it clearly was not based on a warrant or any other actual info. It’s theater. Terrifying theater.)

“If it affects NATO, it affects NATO. They need us more than we need them.”
Trump says Greenland should take a deal he admits he hasn’t offered, makes it clear he does not care if attacking Greenland ends NATO.
Again: ending NATO is a Putin goal. That is no coincidence.

Trump’s line is that disrespect to law enforcement is punishable by death. Impeach and remove. This is not tolerable.
Q: "Do you believe that deadly force was necessary?"
Trump: "It was highly disrespectful of law enforcement. The woman and her friend were highly disrespectful of law enforcement…Law enforcement should not be in a position where they have to put up with this stuff."

As I've been saying, Trump has been running the federal government like an organized crime enterprise. Shocking as this latest development may be, it is but one example.
Trump must be impeached and removed if our constitutional republic is to survive.
