Trump Will Consider Reducing Number of Federal Agents in Minnesota.
Just Do It
ICE has made a full blown mockery of the Bill of Rights. So, what’s to consider?
The Wall Street Journal reports Trump Will Consider Reducing Number of Federal Agents in Minnesota
President Trump said he had a “very good call” with Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, a change in tone as the White House seeks to de-escalate turmoil in the state. The White House said Trump will reduce the number of federal agents in Minnesota if local officials there increase their cooperation with federal authorities.
Two key hearings in federal legal challenges related to immigration enforcement operations in Minneapolis were taking place Monday. In one, a federal judge addressed a Minnesota lawsuit seeking to end what the state has called an unlawful surge of federal enforcement.
Key WSJ Points With My Comments
- Trump declined to say whether the federal officer who fatally shot Pretti had acted appropriately. The White House said the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the U.S. Customs and Border Protection are conducting investigations into the fatal shooting. [Because Trump is a bully and a coward ]
- Trump said he is sending his border czar, Tom Homan, to Minnesota, signaling a potential change in immigration strategy. [Homan is a relative moderate compared to racists like Miller and Noem. But history shows that Trump always returns to Miller and Noem]
- In a court hearing, Minnesota called Attorney General Pam Bondi’s weekend letter a “ransom note.” The letter contained a host of conditions in order to ease up the ICE surge—including access to the state’s voter data. [Ransom Note is a great analogy]
- FBI Director Kash Patel suggested that it was illegal for Alex Pretti to bring a gun to immigration-related protests in Minneapolis—a claim gun-owners groups contested. Carrying a handgun is legal in Minnesota, and local officials have said Pretti was a legal gun owner. [The backlash from Patel’s and Bessent’s hypocrisy was stunning]
Minnesota Calls Bondi Letter a Ransom Note
Telling it like it obviously is, Minnesota Calls Bondi Letter a Ransom Note
Minnesota on Monday called Attorney General Pam Bondi’s weekend letter that made a host of demands—including for the state’s voter rolls—a “ransom note.”
“Another person has been shot dead in broad daylight by DHS agents,” Minnesota state attorney Lindsey Middlecamp said in a court hearing over the state’s request to block the immigration enforcement surge. “Instead of engaging with those facts, Attorney General Pam Bondi sent what can only be described as a ransom note.”
She was referring to a Saturday letter from Bondi to Gov. Tim Walz, outlining three conditions Bondi said the state needed to meet in order to see the thousands of ICE agents who have flooded the Twin Cities ease up.
In addition to allowing the Justice Department’s civil rights division to access voter data, Bondi also urged the state to share its records on Medicaid and Food and Nutrition Service programs with the federal government, so it can investigate potential fraud. She also told officials to abandon what she described as lax policies barring local police from cooperating with immigration enforcement officers.
Ahead of the 2026 midterm elections, the Justice Department has demanded that states hand over voter lists, which can contain driver’s license numbers, birth dates, partial or complete Social Security numbers and sometimes party registration. Officials have said their goal is preventing voter fraud. But some state leaders said the administration’s request violates privacy laws and exceeds the federal agency’s authority.
Election All You Need to Know
Under the Constitution and federal law, states are responsible for running elections and maintaining lists of voters, including the addition of new ones and the removal of those who have become ineligible.
States are already required by law to ensure only eligible people cast ballots on Election Day.
Bondi is asking the Minnesota Governor to violate the constitution. But you don’t break the Constitution to defend it.
This will bring out all the nutcases who claim I support illegals voting. Well, to nip that in the bud, I don’t. And I do believe in voter ID.
The Evidence
There is no evidence that suggests illegal aliens are voting.
The Salt Lake Tribune reports Utah voter roll review finds no evidence of noncitizens casting a ballot, Lt. Gov. says
After spending months reviewing 2.1 million people on Utah’s voter rolls, the lieutenant governor has not found a single instance of a noncitizen voting in the state and only one instance of an ineligible individual registering to vote.
“We have not yet encountered anyone who voted illegally,” Lt. Gov. Deidre Henderson, who oversees Utah’s elections, said of her office’s review of the state’s voter file.
The claims of vote fraud in Georgia were all preposterous, except one.
The state counted and recounted ballots and the total for Democrats rose.
Q: What was the one exception?
A: Trump. His pressuring of Governor Kemp to find votes constitutes tampering and fraud.
In court, time and time again, judges asked Trump’s lawyers for evidence of fraud. Not one time was any evidence presented. Ever.
Q: Why?
A: Because there are severe consequences to lying to a judge.
Instead, Trump presented his case to the Jury of MAGA Supporters who were able and willing to promote anything Trump says.
Rudy Giuliani Convicted of Defamation
- Legal & Financial Ruin: Giuliani was found liable for $148 million in a defamation lawsuit by Georgia election workers, leading to bankruptcy proceedings and a 2025 settlement where he turned over assets.
- Disbarment: He was stripped of his law license in New York (July 2025) and Washington, D.C. (September 2025).
- Pardon: In November 2025, he was among those pardoned by President Trump for involvement in efforts to overturn the 2020 election.
To repeat, there is no evidence illegals are voting or any other mass fraud ideas that Giuliani and others claimed,
The court, in many states, asked Trump’s attorneys for evidence, and team Trump delivered none, ever.
Giuliani delivered lies and got what he deserved, except for the pardon, of course.
This is beside the point.
We do need better laws. And automatic registration to vote when you get a driver’s license ought to be illegal, for obvious reasons.
So, I fully support better laws. But I do not support breaking the constitution for ransom or any other reasons.
With that diversion out of the way, let’s return to the alleged “very good call” and Trump’s alleged softening position.
Tom Homan Lead Contact
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said border czar Tom Homan will be the lead point of contact for the Trump administration in Minnesota, and Border Patrol chief Gregory Bovino will focus more broadly on issues around the country.
“Mr. Bovino is a wonderful man, and he is a great professional,” Leavitt told reporters at the White House. “He is going to very much continue to lead Customs and Border Patrol throughout and across the country. Mr. Homan will be the main point of contact on the ground.”
President Trump’s deployment of border czar Tom Homan to Minnesota shouldn’t be read as an indication that he is dissatisfied with the administration officials who are on the ground leading the operation, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said Monday.
Leavitt said Trump still has confidence in Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem. Homan, she said, is in a “unique position to drop everything” and go Minnesota and be the point person on talks with state and local officials.
How is this even a change?
Bovino is not a wonderful man. He is a racist liar along with Noem.
Judge Said She Will Rule Quickly on Minnesota Request to End Surge
Finally, please note Judge Said She Will Rule Quickly on Minnesota Request to End Surge
U.S. District Judge Katherine Menendez said she would rule as soon as she could on a plea from Minnesota to order a pause in the large federal immigration operation in the state, dubbed Operation Metro Surge.
“If I had a burner in front of the front burner, this would be on it,” she said.
During a three-hour hearing Monday morning, Menendez questioned her authority to issue a broad injunction against the specifics of the executive branch’s deployment of ICE in the Twin Cities. At the same time, she seemed concerned about the pressure from the administration, including a list of requests in the letter Attorney General Pam Bondi sent to Gov. Tim Walz this weekend, which pushed for changes in the state’s so-called sanctuary policies.
“We are in shockingly unusual times,” the judge said.
Fourth Amendment
“The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.”
Pacific Legal has a Primer on the Fourth Amendment
The basic premise of this amendment is to protect Americans from unreasonable searches and seizures of their property by the government.
It is for this reason that a police officer cannot stop you while you’re walking down the street and arbitrarily search your purse or pockets.
These protections did not just come about spontaneously. Like all amendments included in the Bill of Rights, the Framers learned from their experience as royal subjects and added safeguards against the abuses they routinely endured by British agents.
What About 8 U.S.C. § 1357?
8 U.S.C. § 1357 grants immigration officers broad powers to interrogate, search, and arrest individuals without a warrant, particularly near the U.S. borders or for those suspected of violating immigration laws, allowing them to stop vehicles, search conveyances, and access private lands (but not dwellings) within defined distances to prevent illegal entry. This statute, part of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA § 287), outlines key authorities for Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to enforce immigration laws.
The Act Is Unconstitutional, That’s What!
The law does not give the government a right to barge into the home of a US citizen to enforce the immigration laws. In the event of “hot pursuit”, it would probably be allowed. Otherwise, it would gut the 4th Amendment if officers, without consulting an Article III judge or magistrate, could barge into a home because they think immigrants are there.
Fact: It takes a constitutional amendment to change the constitution.
Neither Congress, nor the President, can take away Constitutional rights by signing a bill or by executive order.
This is why Trump’s Birthright Citizenship executive order is certain to go down in flames later this year.
And if you support Gestapo goons wearing masks breaking the 4th amendment, please look in the mirror to see a huge problem.
Shockingly Unusual Times
“We are in shockingly unusual times,” the judge said.
No kidding.
Trump and the administration break the bill of rights at will, murder US citizens, tell lies and suppresses evidence of that, and the Secretary of Treasury suddenly proposes carrying a gun is an intent to murder ICE agents.
On top of that, Trump and the administration support taking Greenland by force and break signed treaties with allies at will.
At the moment we have 51 active Federal state of emergency proclamations.
Yes, shocking.
A Well-Rehearsed Lie
Show Me Your Papers!
A Change In Tone?
I will concede there is a legitimate change in tone if and when Trump announces
1) No illegal searches
2) No racist profiling
3) Prosecution of ICE Murders
4) A change in plan to only look for those with criminal records
5) Three months from now points 1, 2,and 4 are still working
Otherwise, it’s just another lie.

Not Your Imagination, Trump Is Getting More Extreme Over Time, Here’s Why
Please note Not Your Imagination, Trump Is Getting More Extreme Over Time, Here’s Why
Narcissism. Five Reasons why it tends to get more extreme with age.
The above post explains why I highly doubt it is possible for Trump to change.
Maybe Governor Walz offered the president a special Minnesota peace prize to back off the ICE mission.
Or maybe Trump promised not to prosecute Timmy’s fraud connections in exchange for all of what we’re seeing.
PRO TIP. the constitution was long ago shredded. there is a HUGE difference between LAWS and CONSTITUTION. to believe in the constitution and the republic when we are obviously a world wide, war mongering empire that abuses humans around the globe. from MN to Venez. to Iraq and way beyond. time to face reality Mish and company. living in some fantasy world is what most amerikans seem to be living, is a waste of energy. not good for the mind, body or soul. no delusions is the first step to recovery. hat tip Tao Te Ching.
Find, Fix, Destroy. Find by Signal that Antifa thought secure but isn’t. Fix by enticing them to gather in Minneapolis. Destroy by arresting the Antifa organizers and prosecuting them.
Now completed Trump calls Watz and reads him the Riot Act and suddenly Minnesota police cooperate with ICE.
Fairly straightforward. Antifa allies are scratching their heads wondering what happened.
I’d be it was more a promise not to prosecute Tampon’s fraud connections in exchange for full cooperation.
Well, Trump always TACOs Mish when the heat gets too high, and the video of Pretti’s shooting is just ghastly and really impossible to defend, so it would not be surprising if he changes tact.
It’s just that it’s very important for him to never be seen as backing down because strong leaders (i.e. bullies) never back down (Trumpian logic), so he will find a fall guy (maybe Miller), or pretend he changed his mind for other reasons. If these shenanigans don’t work, then a major distraction like war could be on the cards. The most important thing is to not admit fault, ever.
bingo. winner. watch the best film of 2025, “the apprentice”. he really was suckling on the teat of roy cohn and his nasty father.
Tell me about Tim Walz. Ha, he folded like a lawn chair. He doesn’t want to get prosecuted like some government employees on that signal chat.

Trump seems to think that he has a great butt!
Because whenever anyone walks away from him they say, “WHAT AN ASS”
lol.
Come on now, it is a Big Beautiful Butt.
They can’t believe it! Nobody has ever seen anything like it!
According to the Atlantic, Gregory Bovino has been removed from his role as Border Patrol “commander at large” and will return to his former job in El Centro, California, where he is expected to retire soon.
So, Maine doesn’t get to experience his professionalism?
I am sure the folks over there are feeling terribly left out.
reply to peace below. my brother was in a marine unit, in country in viet nam. he said if they had allowed them to rape and burn and pillage he would have gladly done all that. he came back and became anti war. but only when Rs in power. when Ds in power he’s just ducky about the wars. he never was too bright. getting dumber with age.
Imagine American psychopath soldiers carrying guns, kill at will, no defendants, no phone records in Afghanistan, Iraq and anywhere else in the world.
No wonder Taliban had no choice but to fight fiercely back.
my pal was in caves in afghanistan, with green berets. handing out millions of USD from our treasury, and RPGs to bin laden boys and taliban, during the 80s helping to defeat the USSR there. btw, that was carter that sent amerikans like my pal there. he was still undergrad at west point. he just was lucky enough to be fluent in many languages including pashtun and arabic……..btw he said the mujahadeen from saudi…..would not even acknowledge the taliban and local pashtun as being more than just servants. afghanistan is the mexico of rich arabs. my buddy taught me a great deal about what was going on there in the 80s and 90s and on 9.11.01. all so stupid and wasteful. he was so pissed at himself for going to west point and not a normal college to study anthropology instead.
Knowing Pashto he could get himself a few wives. And not these old bags of 18 or 19.
both his wives ran off. he didn’t blame them. his life was cursed. whether you believe it or not, i don’t care, but he was recruited by bin laden boys right after east africa embassy bombings. he helped hunt them down and was successful. he had a one on one with Rummy after battle of 9.11.01. in first wave of special forces on horseback in afghanistan in december 20001. he was already old as dirt for fighting. 41. he told me, when he returned in 2002 that there was no way our boys could beat the taliban and code of pashtunwali. our boys do tours. they don’t stay and fight to the death. his words. they forced my pal to stay in the fight the past 20 years. payed him many millions per annum, too. he’s old as dirt now. his life is ruined. he went to west point and could speak about 20 languages. the curse. i have never known a man so fucked. like he said, if he had joined the hells angels or mexican cartel he could easily run and hide in some jungle in cambodia or somewhere. but he joined the worst gangsters. the amerikans. he also had wall street experience as a reward, for the 80s defeat of USSR in afghanistan. it’s the game. the worst game to join. the poor dumb bastard.
What can some of the Nazi who comment here say now?
I mean, even Trump is not buying the story that the Nazi commenters frequently post here. He realized that the previous ICE narrative in MN is no longer sustainable, which is why he is doing this tactic retreat.
But let’s see if the Nazi cosplayers will continue with the same narrative now that even their orange Fuhrer cosplayer abandoned it.
the good news is that tds gummies will be restocked after the winter storm passes and you’ll be able to take all you want.
You do realize that TDS is really a MAGA mental disorder, right? Deranged that you could blindly support a cult of personality to ignore what reality is?
Says a defender of somali daycare fraud. You’re excused from this conversation.
What? What does that have anything to do with the topic.
Typical tactic of someone who knows they can’t defend their position, but dragging in unrelated crap.
It means your credibility is shot. You and your ilk helped excuse the incitement that helped lead to this. You’re a fool.
When 100% of your arguments are calling other stupid, it says something only about the lack of intellect you bring to the shooting match.
Explain how ICE was right to execute Pretti in broad daylight for not violating any laws and not attacking them
Only about 30% of my argument infers stupidity for YP. The rest is using facts, which some here find highly objectionable. Sounds like you’re cut from the cloth.
Pretti was a moron at best and probably not well in the head at worst. His exercise of poor judgement got himself in a situation he should not have been in.
You can yell and video LEOs all you want, but when you get as close as he did, you’ve put yourself in a very bad situation where things can go wrong.
i ignored that dumbfuck, too. it’s like reasoning with a moonie in an airport, or an acid head charlie manson family chic. it is fascinating to see 1/3 of amerikans have joined a cult of “the apprentice”. many of those morons thought that was real.
I’ll let him insult me personally when I just asked if he has any intellectual ideas to share with anyone else, then when he insults me instead of bringing any semblance of a point to me, I’ll block him knowing it is the right decision.

Nice argument there, is TDS all the “intellectual ammo” you have?
You think Trump is respecting established Civil Rights?
Those good little supremacists will do what Trump tells them, and hold the opinions he bestows upon them, just as has been happening for 12 months now.
Looks like Ice is going to leave. Timmy must have given PedoPig quite the earful.
Careful Donny is very changeable this is far from over and what about Portland ME and which city is next to be invaded
That seems like a great way to ensure Susan Collins loses in November!
Regarding Maine Senator Collins will not be able to beat none of the above at this point and she rarely went against Donny but ice activity in Maine certainly helps democrats
she’s biblical. like 800 years old. maine is retarded group of people. like the other 49 states.
Not sure Trump is competent enough in strategery to think about that. It’s smart of Trump to backpedal furiously on this ICE overreach, though. He might soon ceremoniously dump Noem and start mocking her – as though he hadn’t similarly misstepped by immediately exonerating Jon Ross, shooter of Renee Good.
lol, yes, tampon tim is known for many things. hunting, fraud, funny walking on stage, a failed vp bid and yes…. bravery! Too funny.
Whatz Donny known for? Being weak crooked lazy and the worst alleged US prez!
Try to focus…. not everything is about Trump. I’m sorry. I know this hurts to hear.
U R A dumbass Mr. Know It All u have to take a vacation buddy I am concerned about your health

Calm down. Differing opinions won’t hurt you.
Keep talking I can hear that banstick synching your backside with it’s blunt end
You just hate him because he’s a closeted homosexual. Homophobe.
Anyways these fascists need to be impeached and removed from office and the criminal actors need to be indicted by grand jury and then get trials by jury! We are not out of the woods yet plus desperate Donny might continue the unconstitutional war with Iran
Congress has not declared war on Iran.
We also need to investigate all the money these crooks stole from us and get our money back
Thank you Mike
is the fascist in the room with you? is he whispering? take your meds.
Why yes, now that you mention it…
Good news! There are ice protestors crawling on their hands and knees on the street with signs on their backs. It’s quite the scene. Those are your people! Join your people.
Go crawl down the sewer and then take your meds dirtbag
Dean, it’ll be ok. Unless you’re an illegal alien. Are you?
I M very very worried about u so pull over and take the keys out of the ignition do not get hurt
Is that a yes?
U R A despicable psychopath and very foolish Useless
You’ll be ok. I’m sorry that your feelings got hurt.
Yupp I do not have papers please do not tell on me pal
I M very sorry that u feel that way sorry to inconvenience u
You’re good… but seriously though. Is there someone there that can help you climb into bed, get your meds and have your night night oatmeal?
I support any and all attempts to impeach anyone. If you can get 2/3 of the senate to agree about someone, they probably suck.
nice dreaming. i wish it was reality.
To call Steven Miller a racist is an insult to racists. To call him stupid is an insult to rocks.
To call him Joseph Goebbels is 100% accurate.
He looks like gestapo from Germany especially in a black and white photo
Just goes to show what micropenis and male pattern baldness will drive a man to.
Obviously you guys are all antisemites.
Maybe someone on his staff showed him pictures of how Mussolini’s term ended. Or maybe Melania told him no more Mcd’s for dinner until he cleaned up his mess.
Also, Giuliani… Hah! I haven’t thought about that loser in a while! What a disgraceful end to a career… Tragic arc for that asshole. May all these maga degenerates be remembered equally as fondly!
we called him benito giuliani when he was running around NYC arresting wall street guys….. what a phoney asshole. my image now is his makeup from fake hair stuff, rolling down his face. perfect ending for the biggest douche nyc pumped out. i mean 2nd biggest. sorry donald.
My favorite is his speech at 4 Seasons Landscaping.
ha ha ha
Giuliani.. LOL. I couldn’t believe my eyes when after the election I saw something about a press conference at the “Four Seasons” and Giuliani was going blah blah outside a dump of a building. It was a landscaping company and not the luxury hotel. Rumors were that someone booked the wrong place.
Fascist takeover of Germany 1932-1933 they did not win elections they used enabling acts and declared emergencies!
The declarations of emergencies are desperate panicking attempts to strengthen the weakling Donny
who has a pack of matches, so we can burn down the reichstag, adolph. i had to LOL after jan 6th. those dumbfucks didn’t even bring a gallon of kerosene and some matches. no wonder our boys cannot win a war in 80 years. long live pax dumbfuckistan
The Nazis won the largest number of votes in each of the two Reichstag (national parliament) elections held in 1932. Hitler was asked to form a government by the country’s president in January 1933. I don’t think any political party in Germany has ever won a majority of the seats in the Reichstag in any national election held since the end of WWI. Germany’s allocation of Reichstag seats is based on proportional representation not on Congressional or parliamentary districts.
thanks for the detail. i knew that guy was full of shit.
U R A dumbass clown I wrote the fascists never won a majority
U R wrong the fascists did not ever win a majority
You guys are talking past each other. The Nazis did indeed win the most votes, and they also never received a majority of the votes. The reason is that 1933 Germany was not a two party state, and their 30-something percent vote totals were the most any party received.
Parliamentary systems suck. That’s how Keir Starmer became Prime Minister with only 24% support for Labor. His current support is now about 10%.
Scott Gallaway was at Davos and has a nice summary of how things went (I.e. people laughing and walking out on Lutnick), LOVED Carney; and other things likely of interest. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cFsdnQCyuOQ

lutnick is my favorite character in the cabinet. bessent is a great nazi too. how he got to run cantor is a great story in itself. a fantastic boot licker.
trump is like sybil and hitler. multi personality. and a great performer and politician who is as racist and hateful as humans can become. his over riding quality is that of nihilism. which is the modern amerikan affliction for many decades now. read “ominous parallels”. watch 4 part series free on youtube, “century of the self”. nihilism is as amerikan as apple pie for a few generations now. trump is perfect for our times.
Stupid as he is, he’s still a coward. Not quite dumb enough to know no fear.
U r noticing that most of the cabinet never served in the military?
Hegseth is hero enough for them all!
he’s for sure a closeted homo.
And he ain’t in there alone.
That’s the thing about the Nazis. They weren’t all good. A lot of them were homos.
if i was going to outfit my fascist coup and stay in power for life, i’d recruit military men who have won wars in their careers. probably have to shop for ancient amerikans, and soviets, or the bin laden boys in afghanistan or the iraqis and iran, who won the iraq war. who else has WON a good war, in the past 20 years on planet. certainly no amerikans.
dial 1 800 TALIBAN. we know how to win. please LOL
Sybil + Hilter? Multiple personality and a great performer? Goddamnit. Now you’re making me like him. It’s like you get two personalities for the price of one.
Changes in tone do not mean changes to policies. These are crooked fascists whom are wiping their asses with our US Constitution and enriching themselves!
So many fascists in your mind. I hope you have access to mental health services.
who are wiping…
Tom Homan Minnesota should give him a brown bag lunch with $50 thousand in it
