Trump team issues unhinged demands as his thugs terrorize America



As America suffers the fallout from federal immigration agents abusing,
harassing, and killing people, the Trump administration has used the resulting
chaos to issue over-the-top demands, inextricably linking violence to threats.

Over the weekend, federal agents shot and killed Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old
intensive-care nurse who was disarmed and subdued at the time of his killing.
This execution adds to the Trump administration’s body count since President
Donald Trump began his extreme anti-immigrant program.

In the wake of Pretti’s execution, Trump took to social media to issue
demands, echoing the style of terrorists who tie violence to their cause.

On Sunday, Trump called on “EVERY Democrat Governor and Mayor” to “formally
cooperate” with his administration and bend to his demands to turn over
undocumented immigrants. Trump also demanded that local law enforcement “must
agree to turn over all Illegal Aliens arrested by Local Police” and “assist
Federal Law Enforcement in apprehending and detaining Illegal Aliens.”

Trump also said Congress must pass legislation to “END Sanctuary Cities” which
he falsely described as “the root cause of all of these problems.”



Trump’s statement falsely implies that undocumented immigrants are a major
source of crime. It also makes it sound like Democratic leaders have not been
complying with federal immigration law—but they have. Rather, Democrats just
haven’t endorsed Trump’s racist deportation strategies.

In another post, Trump blamed Democratic leaders for federal agents shooting
people, arguing that “two American Citizens have lost their lives as a result
of this Democrat ensued chaos.” Of course, the federal agents who have killed
people were deployed by Trump, operating to enforce his policies—not the
policies of Democrats.

On Monday, Trump was apparently watching a segment on “Fox & Friends” that
suggested his border czar Tom Homan be sent to Minnesota. About an hour after
the Fox segment aired, Trump said Homan would go to Minnesota. Trump also
claimed “Welfare Fraud” is rampant in the state and “at least partially
responsible” for “violent organized protests” there.

The fraud in question has been investigated and prosecuted under state
Democratic leadership, but Republicans like Trump have pretended that Democrats
ignored it.

Separately, Attorney General Pam Bondi sent a letter to Minnesota Gov. Tim
Walz, demanding the state turn over its voter records.

But Minnesota Secretary of State Steve Simon refused the request.

“The answer to Attorney General Bondi’s request is no. Her letter is an
outrageous attempt to coerce Minnesota into giving the federal government
private data on millions of U.S. Citizens in violation of state and federal
law,” Simon said in a statement.

These requests are based on Trump’s refusal to accept that he lost the 2020
election to former President Joe Biden. Trump lost to Biden in Minnesota by
over 233,000 votes.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents have been terrorizing people all
over the country, from immigrant families to military veterans. People have
died directly as a result of their actions. Trump and his team are making
egregious demands as the population is being terrorized.
