———— Minnesota Under Siege ————

Got a text from my son who lives in Minneapolis: At the Burnsville aid center, probably over 1,000 vehicles here to organize supplies/deliver them to the people who are afraid to leave their homes. Good ol MN strong ✊🏽

BTW, Burnsville is an inner-ring suburb of Minneapolis. So proud of my boy for being actively involved in the Minnesota Resistance.

‘Trust Has Been Breached’

The broken relationship between Minnesota and the federal government…
Although Homan has acknowledged that the immigration surge in Minnesota has not “been perfect,” his upbeat predictions of a smooth and swift détente seem to underestimate how much ill will the Trump administration’s actions have caused among the state’s politicians, activists, and residents. The killings of Good and Pretti-–each followed by a Trump-administration push to denigrate the victims and box out local investigators-–came against a backdrop of growing mistrust and frustration even among officials who have typically embraced partnership with their federal partners.

Greg Bovino Mocked Prosecutor’s Jewish Faith

A day before six career federal prosecutors resigned in protest over the Justice Department’s handling of the killing of Renee Good in Minneapolis, lawyers in the office had a conversation with Gregory Bovino, the Border Patrol field leader, that left them deeply unsettled.
According to several people with knowledge of the telephone conversation, which took place on Jan. 12, Mr. Bovino made derisive remarks about the faith of the U.S. attorney in Minnesota, Daniel Rosen. Mr. Rosen is an Orthodox Jew and observes Shabbat, a period of rest between Friday and Saturday nights that often includes refraining from using electronic devices.
