U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi sent a letter to Minnesota Democratic Governor Tim Walz demanding the state take three specific actions before federal immigration agents would consider reducing their presence in Minneapolis, including handing over voter rolls.

In the letter, Bondi blamed both state and local leaders for the unrest that has come in response to the Trump administration’s immigration enforcement operations. She said that Walz could “restore the rule of law.”

    So the fascists say they will stop murdering people if Minnesota just identifies the names and addresses of all people in the state who did not vote for fascism? Jesus. Fucking. Christ.

    I see we’ve now hit the “Trump is tired of this and wants to TACO, but you have to make it look like he’s winning something” stage.

    What the fuck kind of extortion/racketeering is this?

    “Our armed thugs will continue terrorizing your constituents until you give us confidential information that can be used to identify anyone who votes against us” fuck outta here!

        At least she looks like she’s aging in dog years. It’s a small consolation knowing that selling your soul to the devil won’t keep your vanity intact for very long. Hatred really does leave its marks on ones face…

    Tim, your answer is:

    “We, in the United States, do not negotiate with terrorists.”

    And so the dollar store Don Corleone wannabe failure again tries a protection racket and nobody bats an eye

    If this were Democrats doing it, Republicans would (rightfully so) literally throw hell around, but Republicans do it and meh, Maga is fine with it

    Fuck these clowns

      Well she said it. Walz needs to mobilize police and deputize citizens to eliminate ice. I mean, I don’t think he can ignore the order if it comes from DHS

    before federal immigration agents would consider reducing their presence in Minneapolis,

    “Consider” is doing a lot of work there. It guarantees this is an empty promise. I mean, it was anyway, even if it had stronger language, but this means it can be ignored.

    Also, why is Bondi blackmailing states? Why are the feds interfering with states’ rights?

    Bold request from the people who owe us the Epstein files. Walz should send the 100+ page blacked out PDF to them.
