I’ve been saying here….
The Trump/Miller attempted take over of Minnesota HAS turned into a liability for Republicans , especially those in the US House….
I’m betting Trump IS going to to have to find a way to play off another ‘TACO’ action….
This thing IS leaking into EVERYTHING else and another violent act there would just about break the bank for lawmakers of BOTH parties….
This is NOT gonna get better….
And it CERTAINLY WILL get worst for EVERYONE involved….
“House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer suggested on Sunday that President Donald Trump should pull back the thousands of federal officers deployed to Minneapolis, becoming the first prominent Republican to urge Trump to consider local officials’ requests for respite from the aggressive immigration crackdown that has led to two deaths, multiple shootings by federal immigration agents and widespread protests,” NOTUS reports.
Said Comer: “If I were President Trump, I would almost think about, OK, if the mayor and the governor are going to put our ICE officials in harm’s way, and there’s a chance of losing more, you know, innocent lives or whatever, then maybe go to another city.”

“The fatal shooting of a 37-year-old man by a federal agent in Minneapolis has set off alarm bells among Republicans, fueling worries within the party about a potential backlash to violent tactics by the Trump administration in its immigration crackdown,” the New York Times reports.
“Some Republicans came forward on Sunday to vigorously defend the administration and place blame for the death of the man, Alex Jeffrey Pretti, a U.S. citizen, on forces on the left who oppose President Trump’s immigration policies. But many party leaders stayed silent, and some G.O.P. lawmakers both in the center and on the hard right raised grave concerns, suggesting a rare moment of dissent over a killing carried out in broad daylight and recorded by bystanders.”
…
“What’s the plan, Donald Trump? What is the plan? What do we need to do to get these federal agents out of our state? If fear, violence and chaos is what you wanted from us, then you clearly underestimated the people of this state and nation.”
— Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D), quoted by CBS News.
Note….
The ICE agent and Border Patrol Officer have reportedly be sent out of Minnesota and are thus unavailable to State and Local Law enforcement investigators….
