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.”

    the Department of Justice be given the state’s voter registration records, that the state repeal the “sanctuary policies,” and share its records on Medicaid, and Food and Nutrition Service programs.

    So, let them run free anyway (revoke sanctuary policies), and let them know where everyone lives and how they vote, and what areas should be targeted when they go after the poor, and maybe they’ll consider leaving? Fat chance.

    The attorney general said that there had been a 1,300 percent increase in violence against ICE officers and a 3,200 percent increase in vehicular attacks against federal agents

    Maybe if ICE wasn’t targeting PoC regardless of citizenship status, refusing to accept valid documentation, and intentionally escalating the situation in multiple multiple ways, there’d be less “violence” and “vehicle attacks”. And, btw, since “violence against ICE” and “vehicular attacks” were miniscule numbers beforehand, a “1300%” and “3200%” increase in those numbers is also still a fairly small number - and that even assumes that what she’s describing as “violence against ICE” and “vehicular attacks” actually are such things (which I very sincerely doubt). These are Faux “News” numbers made up by a favorite guest of Faux “News”.
