Live: Border official Tom Homan announces hundreds of agents will leave Minnesota

White House border czar Tom Homan said this morning that 700 federal agents will be leaving Minnesota after “significant progress” in cooperation between state and federal officials.

Homan said an “unprecedented” number of counties were cooperating with the federal government to coordinate the transfer of immigration targets to federal officers from county jails.

First off, his term "cooperating" means that he/they are getting what they want.
2nd, WTF with the title "Czar"?
3rd, this "cooperation" says nothing about residents civil, constitutional and human rights being respected and adhered to.
4th, since there is no mention of his cooperation, protesters and observers will continue even though he whined about it today.
He said something like, "they have to stop with all the noise and interference".
(No, you stop!)

Which is what they say. No one knows how many are in Minnesota in the first place.

As we all know they lie...lie...lie.

they will illegally keep them for up to 48 hours past their sentence so ICE can come pick them up.

We've got to do whatever it takes to flush Trump and the billionaire criminals from the White House for good.
