In response to yet another ICE killing in Minneapolis, this time involving an ICU nurse who was shot in the back, President Donald Trump appears to have recognized that sweeping raids by untrained and masked agents wearing tactical gear are bound to backfire. Stopping someone and demanding proof of citizenship simply because he looks or sounds different is repulsive to freedom-loving Americans. Grabbing 5 year-old kids on their way home from preschool is third-world, something I'd expect to see in North Korea, not Minnesota. Yanking a disabled American citizen out of her car when she is on her way to see her doctor and what we see in a police state. Trump has finally made nice with Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and has shuffled ICE boss Greg Bovino back to California, along with numerous of his shoot-first agents with him. Bovino has been replaced by Tom Homan, who favors the Obama approach to illegals as opposed to ICE Barbie's repressive tactics. So those of you who attempted to justify the blatant violations of our Constitution in comments on this blog, perhaps it's time for you to re-evaluate. I'll agree that illegal immigration was getting out of hand and something had to be done. Perhaps it's time for you to agree that the approach taken by Kristi Noem, who actually bragged about shooting her dog, is completely in-American.

ICE killing in ICE? Time to hire an editor. This shooting was the Border Patrol not ICE by the way.
ReplyDeleteI corrected the typo. Thanks for bringing it to my attention. The shooter was Border Patrol, and I refer to both Border Patrol and ICE agents as ICE.
Deleteit’s absurd that you have to issue a correction explaining that it was technically the border patrol operating in MINNEAPOLIS but here we are.
DeleteBoth ice and Border patrol are under DHS
DeleteNever understood how Krispy gnome and Bovine were slotted in their positions. Regardless, the 47 day training obviously is not working and has run its course for accountability.
Sloppy sloppy sloppy. You lost your fastball a while ago.
DeleteHoman will straighten it out- he received a medal from Obama for his deportation results. Noem is a disgrace- she's incompetent & her MAGA face has gone way too far, she looks like a caricature. She should be shipped back to S. Dakota along with her paramour Lewandowski.
ReplyDeleteIn 2024
ReplyDeletePew Trust estimated 14 million unvetted illegal immigrates in the United States.
In September of 2015 a sniper opened fire on an ICE facility killing two.
ReplyDeleteDo tell, Bernie.
Should read: September 2025.
DeleteTrump's shift of attitude, although too late to help Good or Pretti, will save lives down the street, or in the next city. Tom Homan will make the ICE operations more focused on specific targets. How Noem modifies remains to be seen.
ReplyDeleteFiring Bovino and hiring Tom Homan in his place is like shitting your pants and then changing your shirt.
DeleteWho would've thought Fetterman would become a voice of reason in the Democrat Party?

DeleteHe needs votes
ICE are not trained properly! Cops and probably the majority of Border Patrol are!
ReplyDeleteIt’s disgraceful what they are doing in Minnesota! Trump doesn’t like Waltz and no controls there, until the tide of GOP and people who have witnessed the two recent killings of American Citizens happened! Kristi Noem immediately lies without investigations and facts and blames both victims as domestic terrorists! She needs to go!
Yes most all Americans are happy that the border is finally secure, but these gestapo like tactics are un american! Hopefully they hold up finding till ICE gets their act together!
Noem-Lewandowski poses in front of male inmates while in skin tight outfits.
ReplyDeleteOdd.
Both are disgraceful!
DeleteYou should all be ashamed of yourself. Being critical of our President. A decent man who enjoys "grabbing women by their pussy". How dare you.
ReplyDeleteThis should have bern censored
DeleteWTF is wrong with you?
DeleteToday I tuned in to watch the movie "Judgement at Nuremburg". If you've never seen the movie, it's all about Nazi Germany and the trials held after the surrender of Nazi Germany after the end of WWII. This is Donald Trumps Administration today. I couldn't believe the similarities. If you ever get the chance to watch the movie, make sure you dial in. It is a great movie and you can see the similarities for yourself.
ReplyDeleteStill doing the Hitler/Nazi thing. Boring. Another simpleton with TDS.
DeleteTrump knows what he is doing he is dealing with lunatics..
ReplyDeleteLet’s remember, it was the Minneapolis Police who SHOULD have been controlling crowd behavior out on the streets and sidewalks. Until a day ago, the Minneapolis Police were being told to stand down.
ReplyDeleteAs for Minnesota Gov. Walz, his own story of incredible corruption (Somali) while in office, with some of the proceeds suspected of being used to fund the anarchists, is still simmering in the pot. But, the boil over is soon to follow.
He hasn't changed course. He's brought in Holman the hammer to whom Obama gave a medal. It's designed to elicit blog posts like this. Yap yap yap,
ReplyDeleteAnd our Party? Calling Trump and his supporters Hitler, fascists, maggots, etc. etc. I find the rhetoric appalling on the left.
ReplyDeleteAh Bernie, I see you woke up the LV nose picking, ass scratching MAGA knuckle draggers early this morning. Good job.
ReplyDeletecreepy!
DeleteICE = Proud Boys, Oath Keepers and the other repressed cosplayers from 6 years ago. They are collective dimwits whose law enforcement "training" are akin to "did my own research on the internet"
ReplyDeleteThank you for standing against the Nazis and the racists, Bernie.
ReplyDeleteICE is overreaching. BUT, how did we get here?? Sanctuary cities. A wide open border. The real question is why? I have seen numerous Biden officials asked this and they stutter and stammer. They won’t answer. They don’t care about these people, this is about packing the census because blue states are losing population. Lose population you lose congressional seats. That’s all this is. Politics! Why else would you let in millions of poor uneducated people and ship them to states that already have fiscal problems? They overwhelm the schools, hospitals, public safety, homeless services. Why would you do that? Mayorkas looking straight into the camera “the border is secure” it was disgraceful!
ReplyDeleteWhat MAGA just can't seem to digest is that ICE & Border Patrol have been stopping, harassing, and detaining US CITIZENS, on vague general suspicions. This is clear violation of the Constitutional rights your forefathers battled for! It's intolerable and I'm really surprised that so many Trump supporters just can't deal with this.
ReplyDeletePhilly D.A. Krasner's video is priceless- tells you everything you need to know.
