What I'm reading as I return to Minneapolis
Many things have changed, but a lot more have stayed the same.
Since the last time I was in Minneapolis, Border Czar Tom Homan - a man with nightmarish conspiracy beliefs and zero oversight outside of Trump himself - has taken over ICE in the city. I’ve written about Homan before and I highly recommend that you read it.
700 ICE agents are said to be leaving the city, likely to go to Ohio and or Maine leaving over 2000 still in the city. The remaining shock troops have been keeping busy kidnapping residents and harassing journalists. News2Share’s Ford Fischer was directly threatened by DHS for legally following ICE agents.
They desperately want to do their kidnappings without media simply recording them do it. That should be a sign of something, no?
I’m about to jump on the second leg of my flight to Minneapolis (thank you supporters at my Gofundme!) so here’s the articles I’ve been reading as I travel.
