The peaceful people of MN have sent ICE packing. They have caused them to retreat through their peaceful actions. Unfortunately, there were casualties, and we must never forget their sacrifice.
Do not let the administration and the corporate media spin this as Tom Homan being "reasonable" and working with the local officials there. No, that's not what happened. They lost. And as the Governor of MN said, the Federal Government now needs to pay for all the costs incurred by the state due to its actions

(150,911 posts)ICE used Minnesota as a testing ground. How far could they push it? They know now. So, they're going to spread out to new fields and implement what they have learned. Watch them go into smaller areas and start rounding people up and shipping them away. They've seen what happens if they go into a larger metro area. But, while they've been doing that, they've also been working in smaller communities, where their actions don't get the same attention they did in Minneapolis and St. Paul.
Smaller cities don't have the resources, nor the active population those two cities have. Citizens turned out in numbers too large for ICE to control easily. They've learned from that. But, suppose you're in a city of 50,000 or even smaller. The response will not be as immediate nor will it be as focused. So, ICE will be able to round people up quickly, ship them off somewhere and move to another city.
The pattern is going to change, I predict. By the time a smaller city mobilizes to protest ICE, they'll be done and will be gone. Gone to the next city or town. And so on and so on.
So, be ready, wherever you are. If you have an immigrant community that is substantial, they'll be coming. Look at that small city in Idaho.
ICE is far from gone. It's just on the move.

(24,482 posts)when two people are dead. That's not for me to say and it was an absolutely unnecessary tragedy.
But it showed how determined MN was and how hard they fought.
