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.”

      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?

      Preparing for election fraud, like their efforts to sue media that reports low Trump approval rates. Gotta make sure that non-Trump voters have difficulties voting e.g. by purging their registrations, and if that’s not enough and Trump doesn’t win, declare the result as fraudulent because Trump’s poll results were so good (because nobody dared report bad results).
