There's a concept in law enforcement whereby arresting one person dissuades others from doing similar things.

I wonder if the Trump admin doesn't want reporters in Minneapolis. /s

Its almost like ICE wants to scare off media organizations from reporting on Minneapolis (1) to keep the wider public in the dark and (2) to protect its officers.

More reporters in Minneapolis keeping this front and center for the public would be good imo.

This just makes me think even more media coverage of Minneapolis would be good. Fuck the Trump administration.

Folks from rural areas prioritize cultural signaling for conservativism over economic growth. I'd hazard that Mr. Zink would probably vote Trump again, given the opportunity, if the opposite candidate publicly supported trans rights or was just a Democratic black woman.

The hexalogy is complete.

The whole situation pisses me off.

And I say this as someone who dedicates hours each day reading a variety of local, national, and world news outlets in order to stay informed.

You’re following rules no one else does and only wanting to try if it’s guaranteed to succeed.

That's categorically an opposite of what "that said, it’s still worth going after the guy criminally. He deserves prison and the AG should give it a shot" means, right?

I said try even if it's not guaranteed. My contribution to our conversation was opining on the likelihood of success.

Throw his ass in jail for murder with no bail

I'd love this, and think it's unlikely.

He can beat the charges, but he’ll never get the months/years of his life back while awaiting trial

Make it so in the back of every ICE agent’s head there’s a constant reminder: “There could be consequences”.

Regardless of how we accomplish it, nothing gets fixed till that thought is always in their minds.

Yes to all of this!

Terrible headline, it's honestly kind of impressive that the chronological order of just two events could be screwed up in a single sentence fragment meant to convey information in an entertaining way.

Just wait until you discover I can have multiple and even contradictory reasons for doing any single action. It's really gonna blow you away

Now there's a guy who missed his nominative determinism calling, he would have been much better at that job too.

Calling it an "immigration operation" is a fascinating example of doublespeak? DHS wants deportations not immigrations.

Although, the world would be a lot happier and sillier place if the DHS underlings took that language at face value and brought in an extra 2000 immigrants.

I wonder how much rooftop space in Vienna could be cannibalized for solar panels.
