MINNEAPOLIS — Federal and local leaders traded blame late Wednesday as protesters clashed with authorities in Minneapolis after officials said a federal immigration enforcement officer shot a man in the leg following a struggle outside a residence.
“The situation we are seeing in our city is not sustainable,” Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey (D) said on X. “We cannot respond to Donald Trump’s chaos with our own chaos.”
At an earlier news conference, the mayor described an “impossible situation” in which Minneapolis’s 600 police officers are at times finding themselves at odds with some of the approximately 3,000 Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents who have been deployed to the city.
“We cannot be at a place right now in America where we have two governmental entities that are literally fighting one another,” Frey added. He said that he hoped to force ICE out of the state through a lawsuit he and other Minnesota officials filed Monday.
ICE agents fled from the crowd and left behind their CONOPS battle plan for Minneapolis, including agent's names, hotel rooms, phone numbers, boxes of license plates, and tac radio frequencies.

This was always the plan.
This is what Trump, through intermediaries, was discussing with the January 6 insurrectionists.
It was only a question of timing.

ICE was created as part of the Homeland Security Act of 2002 following the September 11 attacks. It absorbed the prior functions of the Immigration and Naturalization Service and the United States Customs Service.
The Confederate general associated with losing a crucial battle plan is Robert E. Lee, whose Special Order 191 detailing troop movements for the Antietam Campaign was found by Union soldiers, giving the North vital intelligence and contributing to the Union victory at Antietam. A copy of the order, outlining plans to split his army, was discovered by Union troops in Maryland, revealing Lee's dispersed forces just before the Battle of Antietam.
This dude is intense and correct

No less than Bobby Lee cost the Confederacy at Antietam. By losing a critical battle order.

This is exactly why we have the Second Amendment. Despite our love of the gun, sometimes it is a useful tool. I suggest we make use of it.
I have a few hundred dollars saved for vacation this summer. I am giving serious consideration to buying a shotgun instead.
