GftNC links to this article from the Independent about the surge being wound down.
The Trump administration is ending the “surge” of thousands of immigration and law enforcement agents to Minnesota that sparked months of protests and led to the shooting deaths of two American citizens who were protesting the federal presence there.
Homan goes on to say:
“With that and [the] success that has been made arresting public safety threats and other priorities since this search operation began, as well as the unprecedented levels of coordination we have obtained from state officials and local law enforcement, I have proposed — and President Trump has concurred — that this surge operation conclude a significant drawdown has already been underway this week and will continue through the next week,” Homan said.
The Aiken formula is often attributed to Nixon and is boiled down to ‘Just declare victory and leave’, but was actually said by Vermont senator George Aiken. Needless to say that isn’t exactly how it went down, but the more things change.
I can’t speak for others, but for me Minneapolis fatigue has set in. I’ve got a colleague taking a student there in a few days, and it’s like one of those horror movies you don’t want to watch. Anyway, a thread for any Minneapolis news or reporting that you think others should see.
