Comment on Unfortunately, at this point, ICE has legally "Erik Princed" a US city; over a traffic violation. And they're lying, gaslighting, and giving it cover.

I would not expect a federal indictment, and Hennepin County is already putting together the materials required to sue the feds for the evidence, possibly sue the FBI, sue ICE and make an indictment. Thankfully any crime that breaks federal and state law can be tried in both courts. It’s one of the rare occasions where this loophole is beneficial.

These things take time when done properly. The DA’s office working with the AG means this will go quicker, but it won’t be satisfying unfortunately.

In the handbook of fighting fascism, strict adherence to policy is noted as extremely effective. Additionally, if the system in Minnesota works as it is intended to work, then we are able to reinforce faith in the concept of our justice system, rather than resorting to the barbaric sham trials the fascists would use.
