The mayor said on a podcast that essentially ICE has more people and bigger guns so he’s not going to push for things like local cops getting involved. A few days ago after the Renee Good murder, Walz told the National Guard to standby in case we’ve got another George Floyd riot on our hands. No mention of doing anything to stop the ICE violence already happening, just a threat if protestors respond in kind. He’s lost any semblence of sauce since his embarrassing VP run, if he even had any to begin with.
Things are very bad right now and I think we’re all on our own. But if you go through Minneapolis, there’s signs about the murder, “FUCK ICE” spray painted on every corner, protests at the building where people are being held (which Bovino just personally went to and cracked down on), people you wouldn’t expect starting to talk about getting armed, people surrounding agents if the agent is alone and “unarresting” people like back during BLM. ICE Watches in vulnerable locations, people offering to pick up groceries for others.
The cities are under siege and everyone knows it and everyone is banding together in their own way.
Appreciate it. I meant more that no outside organization is doing anything to alleviate the damage. Not the cops (ofc), not the state. Its all people helping people.
Ice would still have a stern fight on their hands if police fought against them. Police have community connections, know the city intimately, are generally better trained than most ICE units, and would have the overwhelming support of the people. If they relaxed enforcement vs. people fighting ICE, Minneapolis forces would vastly outnumber Ice
None of this will happen, of course. Police don’t seem to want to fight Ice, and leadership isn’t looking to make an enemy of Trump. I’m just saying that numbers is a terrible excuse for holding back
They definitely don’t want to fight them. They’re mostly just annoyed that their presence is making their job busier and more complicated. But the Minnesota Fraternal Order of Police, of which many cops are members, are in full support of ICE actions.

If anyone saw the video of the doordash driver that rushed into a woman’s home, she called 911 and local police just told her to turn the woman over.
MN and the democratic party are pretty much absent here
I mean figures Walz would call out the Guard to sic on the protestors given his history
but god damn if there was ever a time to provoke a constitutional crisis, this is it

The pigs are more than happy to watch ICE do what they’ve always wanted to but couldn’t quite get away with.
