Trump Agrees To Pull ICE Agents Out Of Minnesota

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by Omaha Steve (a host of the Latest Breaking News forum).

Source: Daily Mail UK

Donald Trump has agreed to pull ICE agents out of Minnesota and allow local cops to investigate a protester's killing by federal agents, Tim Walz said.

The President held a phone call with the state's governor on Monday following the death of 37-year-old Alex Pretti, an ICU nurse who was shot dead by agents during protests against the immigration crackdown in Minneapolis on Saturday.

Walz's office said: 'The President agreed that he would talk to his Department of Homeland Security about ensuring the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension is able to conduct an independent investigation, as would ordinarily be the case.

'The President also agreed to look into reducing the number of federal agents in Minnesota and working with the state in a more coordinated fashion on immigration enforcement regarding violent criminals.'

Yeah. He may have said it, but does he mean it?

I call bullshit. This is a 'media placation move' to get them to be more 'equitable' in their reporting.

I believe Governor Walz and what he says, unfortunately the Felon is a liar, scoundrel and cheat that can't be trusted for anything. The proof will be in the deed. I hope he follows through.

If true i hope all evidence the feds have WILL be turned over, even if they lied about everything. (the state could then show how corrupt the feds are) EDIT to add i wonder if the ICE will be moved to the military base that was mentioned on another thread?

They probably have an even higher gun count in their population than Minnesota. Ninety nine percent of Maine is forests and little villages that will not take too kindly to ICE.

Forensic analysis of the weapons used to kill Alex. Registration/ownership. All communications of all team members over the entire operation before and since shooting.

Alex's phone. All body cans. Entire team deposed. Bovino deposed. Noem deposed. Miller deposed.

That's just for starters.
