Trump blinked.

Mayor Jacob Frey @MayorFrey
I spoke with President Trump today and appreciated the conversation. I expressed how much Minneapolis has benefited from our immigrant communities and was clear that my main ask is that Operation Metro Surge needs to end. The president agreed the present situation can’t continue.

Some federal agents will begin leaving the area tomorrow, and I will continue pushing for the rest involved in this operation to go.

Minneapolis will continue to cooperate with state and federal law enforcement on real criminal investigations — but we will not participate in unconstitutional arrests of our neighbors or enforce federal immigration law.

Violent criminals should be held accountable based on the crimes they commit, not based on where they are from.

Multiple sources confirm Gregory Bovino was removed from his Border Patrol "Commander at Large" role and is expected to retire soon after returning to El Centro, CA. Reports from The Atlantic, CNN, NYT, CBS, and Fox News cite anonymous officials linking it to the Alex Pretti shooting in Minneapolis. No official statement from DHS yet.

7. Again...

and now is the time to go after him relentlessly. Epstein, Tarriffs, trying to break up NATO, food prices-prices of everything. These things are all his doing and are all objectively bad for the US. All the idiots who couldn't sleep at night knowing all of these immigrants were all around them-just making them itchy cause they weren't real 'mericans. Now they're getting everything they asked for and it isn't exactly what they thought. Oh, it looked good at first, rounding up them there brown folk, but the Christmas bills are coming due, farmers can't sell their crops overseas anymore, it's time to keep making him blink to expose him for the fraud he is and always has been.

10. I am more nervous than ever

Since the announcement it seems a celebratory tone has spread like wildfire. Maybe it is a major win....but other things indicate maybe not...

Here is the other side of the coin...........

Deescalation?
