If I'm right, that's a win for Trump and American. The Dims are the ones who lose because there's less Dim-generated chaos to report about.
“””Didn’t Minnesota start working with ICE and turning over illegals to ICE? “””
Yup. The locals here are furious that they gave in and will allow ICE to pick them up at the jails. . They are also furious that they can’t spend their days yelling and chasing them around. They will have to follow ICE to the next city on the list.
I believe that's true, at least somewhat. And I think several thousands of illegals were arrested.
Yes, absolutely. Here’s how I see it:
Trump wanted mass deportation of illegals and campaigned on it. but it was guaranteed that if ICE had to go and raid the illegals in their homes it would be a PR nightmare. Elian Gonzalez times forty million. Scenes like that would play in the media 24/7 and it would be a horror show.
So Trump did something smart. Promise to start with the criminals and have ICE pick them up from the jails. Getting rid of criminals, especially the violent ones, should be something that every sane person is for. Plus, no neighborhood raids, no press covering it like it’s the Gestapo snatching people off the streets for no reason. Everybody wins except the journalists and the Democrat party.
So the Democrats had to get creative. Have sanctuary jurisdictions refuse to cooperate with ICE and force Trump to raid neighborhoods to get the rapists and murderers. Trump was not about to give up on catching the criminals just because the jails weren’t giving them up. That way they would get their horror show coverage. And while they’re at it they could raise an army of useful idiots to interfere with the ICE operations. And if a few of them got injured or killed, then that’s a small price to pay for the PR damage to the Administration. Another reminder that Democrats don’t really care about human beings the way they pretend to.
So a couple of those useful idiots got themselves killed in Minneapolis so Trump changed tactics. Sent Homan to negotiate for the cooperation he should have been getting all along. Walz and Frey would get to brag that they got rid of the neighborhood raids, and Trump would continue to keep his promises and get the criminals with less fuss. Trump may lose a bit of face with people who wanted to see the military move in, which would have been an even worse PR disaster. But in reality everybody wins. Democrats continue to play checkers while Trump plays Kasparov-level chess.
Do I believe that they SAID they would? Sure. Do I believe that they really intend to? Heck no!
Send in the auditors. By the thousand.
There is more than one way to skin a cat.
No matter what they do next, the followers and “leaders” of the Democrat/Communist/Jihadist Party (more accurately, Cult) will celebrate this as a major victory over those of us who want to preserve our Republic and protect our Constitution ... a MAJOR victory.
Yes.
I do wonder, though, how sincere or lasting is their commitment.
