 Tom Homan’s Bid for Minnesota Reset Begins With Series of Demands

MINNEAPOLIS—Tom Homan, the White House border czar, arrived here with a series of demands for Minnesota’s Democratic leaders. Topping the list: an agreement from them to turn over more immigrants from the state’s prisons and jails, people familiar with the matter said. ... Walz has said the premise of the demand is false. “They’re taking credit for people that we’ve had in jail for a long time,” he told reporters Sunday. “We always hand them over.”

Oh, so that's why Border Patrol was in front of Glam Doll Donuts on Saturday. They were just looking for inmates.

 ICE in Minnesota: Court suspends order that restricted ICE agent tactics against protesters

MINNEAPOLIS (FOX 9) - A court struck down a judge's order that said federal agents cannot detain or use force against peaceful protesters after lawyers for the federal government said the ruling made it more difficult for officers to defend themselves.

The injunction, issued on Friday, Jan. 16, also banned agents from stopping or detaining drivers and passengers in vehicles who are following agents from a safe distance. 

The 8th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals ruled in favor of the federal government on Wednesday, Jan. 21, striking down the previous injunction.

The restraining order previously banned federal agents from using tear gas and other forms of force against peaceful protesters. It also restricted them from detaining people who follow or observe them from a safe distance without obstructing operations. ...

ICE agents have been seen deploying chemical agents such as tear gas and pepper spray against crowds in the Twin Cities as recently as Wednesday.... 

J. D. Vance on Thursday promised ICE would show no quarter, and on Saturday in Minneapolis ICE showed no quarter to Alex Jeffrey Pretti, fatally shooting him in the back after disarming him
