Things aren't quite going to plan for the Trump Administration in Minneapolis.
Turns out that smearing a VA nurse who saw fit to pay tribute to the fallen after executing him in the streets isn't going down well with most people.
Even the NRA has seen fit to speak up in defense of Alex Pretti after MAGA world suddenly decided to jettison its support for the Second Amendment. Pretti was in possession of a legally owned handgun, but at no time did he brandish it against anyone much less planning a mass casualty incident. The only cowards were the Border Patrol agents who executed by shooting him in the back.
With Republican politicians now demanding an independent investigation at least one head appeared to have rolled with reports of U.S. Border Patrol commander Gregory Bovino having been relieved of his duty and to be replaced by White House Border Czar Tom Homan. However, DHS is denying this is the case. Bovino went as far as to claim that the Border Patrol agents who executed Pretti were actually "the victims".
But quite honestly, it doesn't matter who is in charge of ICE operations in Minneapolis be it Bovino, Homan, Kristi Noem or anyone else with the Trump Administration. So long as ICE is in Minneapolis (or anywhere else in the country) in its current iteration, they are going to escalate tensions and anyone who gets in their way will be assaulted or executed in a hail of bullets as was done to Renee Good and now Alex Pretti
To quote Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, "ICE needs to get the fuck out of Minneapolis."
And they need to leave without getting their hands on Minnesota's voter rolls and list of SNAP beneficiaries. That has nothing to do with enforcing immigration law.
When ICE leaves then order will be restored to Minneapolis. Whatever Minneapolis' problems, they did not need a swarm of armed, masked agents behaving like hooligans and terrorists coming into their city.
Nothing good has come of ICE's presence in Minneapolis.
Then again nothing good has come of President Trump's presence in the White House.
