Federal agents aren’t allowed on school property—and Border Patrol is out of its jurisdiction (the 100-mi “border zone,” which MSP is not in). Let the rest of the country see, and imagine this incursion at their kids’ school.

She wreaked havoc in the Chicagoland area and has brought her reign of terror to Minneapolis. One of her rogue ICE agents shot and killed an innocent woman today. It must come to an end.
