‘Get the f-ck out’: Minneapolis mayor’s message to ICE after killing

Walter Einenkel at Daily Kos:

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey gave a heated press conference Wednesday after reports and video surfaced showing an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent shooting and killing a Minneapolis woman. [...] Frey’s anger did not end there, as he called for federal agents to leave the city.  “I have a message for ICE. To ICE: Get the fuck out of Minneapolis. We do not want you here,” he said.

God Bless Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey (D) for saying what us Americans who hate ICE’s terrorist thuggery feel: “Get the fuck out [of Minneapolis].”

🚨Jacob Frey: “The ICE agent walked away with a hip injury that he might as well have gotten from closing a refrigerator door with his hips. He was not injured. Give me a break.

No, he was not ran over.

He walked out of there with a hop in his step.”

The people of Minnesota cetrainly won the battle, but only time will tell whether Trump's retreat is a tactical or a strategic one.

Even the corrupt authoritarian Trump administration has to pay attention to public opinion. They now know that Nazi Brown Shirt methods are hurting them in polling for the midterms. There need to be curbs on what Crazy Kristi Noem's Department of Homeland Security can do. This must be part of the overall debate in the US.

As Lawrence O’Donnell explains, Donald Trump is influenced only by poll numbers. Any opposition to Trump needs to keep that in mind. To influence public policy under Trump, we need to do things which cause MAGA approval to drop. Concerted nonviolent resistance like that in Minnesota has helped do that as it helped the civil rights movement in the 1960s.

In a way, local elections, special elections, and primaries are polls with official standing. So let's put a leash on MAGA and do that by continuing to overperform in elections. Paint every Republican orange so that they look like Trump.
