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.”
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?
It’s not a promise. It’s Republicans threatening people who they are supposed to be helping.
Imagine trusting this bitch at face value
She said that Walz could “restore the rule of law.”
Classic reverse victim and offender.
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
she is actually confessing that ICE is continuously breaking the law
Tim, your answer is:
“We, in the United States, do not negotiate with terrorists.”
Soo, extortion?
If you coerce someone to do what you want politically under violence it’s usually called terrorism
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).
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!
It’s an open admission that it was never about immigration.
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…
“before they would consider” fuck them. Fuck their bullshit. Even if they complied with these terrorist demands it’s not going to have any impact on the ice situation. “We considered and decided not to remove them” same old boring ass playbook.
There is no honor. They have been waging a social war and Democrats keep playing by the old rules.
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.
They obviously have greater plans for the states they are terrorising.
Prison labor camps.
I saw someone say that she’s literally from Minnesota, and as such can just pay a $20 processing fee and get the voter rolls thru official means…
They’re making a ridiculously easy to fufil demand so idiots don’t realize they’re not getting anything after the literal extrajudicial executions.
They don’t just want voter rolls. They want voter INFORMATION, including the things that the state collects but isn’t normally public, like SSN, party affiliation (sometimes), etc.
Pam Blondi is a terrorist.
Sounds like coercion to me.
How about go fuck yourself, Pam. This isn’t a negotiation.
So they’re attacking the civilian population and now has released demands to further their political gains?
I think we have a term for those kind of people and we don’t negotiate with them.
Bullshit. What kinda of idiot would believe a lying nazi?
The fascist death squads we built are murdering americans in cold blood, but if you make it easier for us to fake the next election we’ll definitely leave you alone.
Sure, very believable. 🙄
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”.
