Rules:

1. Be civil


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.

Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.

Donald Trump’s border czar Tom Homan says immigration enforcement will reduce the number of officers in Minnesota but suggested during a news conference Thursday that it would happen only after ‘cooperation’ from state officials.

Homan was speaking for the first time since Trump sent him to Minneapolis after a federal immigration officer fatally shot a protester on Saturday.

Homan doubled down on the need for local jails to alert Immigration and Customs Enforcement to people in their custody whom ICE can remove from the country. Homan said that would mean fewer officers have to actually be out on the streets looking for immigrants in the country illegally, and that transferring immigrants to ICE while they’re still in jail is safer for the officers and means they aren’t out on the streets.

Fun fact; "czar" and "tsar" are both corruptions of ceasar.

Ides of March and all that.

Oh, I think I can translate, by cooperation he means

"Gib me bribe. I prefer a large sack of cash with a dollar sign, but will also accept crypto." 💰

No, he wants state voter data so they can figure out which numbers to fiddle and which voters to disenfranchise.

And free quota fills to show daddy they are doing a good job. These guys want numbers, that's why everyone in the country is fair game. He can't let Obama be better than him in anything. His ego can't take it.

Just a reminder that this has been in the works the whole fucking time. It's been a fucking wild year so obviously it's understandable this kind of got buried, but this whole sending ICE/Border Patrol into cities thing is usually associated with Big Balls being attacked in DC, but they started threatening to do this after an off duty Border Patrol agent was shot in NY.

Homan has been making almost this same argument word for word since then even though the shooting of the off duty agent did not appear to be related to his job in anyway.

more agents in the community and more agents in the worksite

Yeah, because so many murders are happening by immigrants working at construction sites 🙄
