South Minneapolis activists raised pure hell confronting ICE’s jackbooted, might-makes-right assault on civil liberty.

President Donald Trump’s ham-handed administration couldn’t defeat resistance one way, so it went another, in accord with the DOJ’s fast tracking deportations across the country.

He called for the Federal Reserve to be abolished. In plain language, a career-long, dyed-in-the-wool wingnut, who responded to a City of Stillwater Facebook post, “Is there anything we can do to help ICE if we want to?” now decides deportation cases.
