  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

What you and I have been discussing, not everything throughout the city and over the last two weeks.
Check the thread title again.

There was no "crowd" on that street, just a few cars and a few onlookers.
Look again.

It did not happen.
Denial of facts isn't a great tactic. It may cause people to give up trying to reason with you, but it doesn't make you correct.

These federal officers are already shooting people. No one else is.
That doesn't mean other people aren't doing something wrong. There wouldn't be a need for ICE agents, and soon military troops if they weren't doing something wrong (such as attacking people--mob style, as they did during the BLM riots).

The necessity of troops and martial law is to control the upcoming elections - if there is a major power shift, there are many who will be impeached, not just the one. The truly lawless may be brought to task.

Perhaps the Epstein files will be at last released.

Which is why I see a fair election with Trump getting his rightful 3rd term and a total Republican landslide with no more hate America opposition.

Huh. Maybe he should jump the gun and run for his 3rd term in 2026 - I don't think his health will hold out for another couple of years, sadly.

The president is in great health, perfect health. He has more CT scans, MRIs, and cognitive tests than any other president ever and that proves he has incredible health.

Abandoning “States’ Rights” as a conservative value, doesn’t look so good now, huh?

(I’d like to see Minnesota sue on Third Amendment violations, let’s dust that Amendment off, why don’t we?)
The state absolutely has a right to do NOTHING to assist ICE, including telling LE not to respond when citizens are doing what they are doing. That's fine. However the federal governemnt does not have to stand by and do nothing while their agents are harassed, interfered with, obstructed, assaulted and their property damaged and stolen.

Did you think the states can just opt out of whatever federal laws they wanted to opt out of?

The Federal Government can certainly try to force compliance.
If the Federal Government desires to make war on a State, it certainly has the power, (if not the will), to do so.
Why might that not be “good thing”?

Cannabis is still illegal per Federal law, yet, many states have it as okay to use recreationally…you sure you wanna ride this horse?
Absolutely. Should the Feds come in and start enforcing Marijuana laws they most certainly could. A state can say its not illegal by state law. They cannot say its not illegal by Federal law. They don't have to enforce Federal Law. But they cannot stop the Feds from doing so.

He intends to punish the residents of Minneapolis be of their votes against him. That is the problem. Sending in the military will only make any violence worse.
Why? Who will be responsible for the violence? Who will be doing it? You think the military will be the violent ones?

All compliance is compliance by force. The IRS forces you to be compliant. Thats why policing is called Law Enforcement.

In this case the state is more than welcome to not assist in any fashion. I believe when a state does that, then the Feds are under no obligation to give them certain federal monies.

Courts certainly have ruled that states have no jurisdiction to enforce federal law. However failing to cooperate with feds and work together brings consequences. And that is what is happening.

funny why isn't he targetting all the republican cities with the same responses that have tons of ilegals? or rounding them up at jobs just as violently? It's amazing how all the violent criminals just happen to be in democratic areas.
Probably because they are cooperating with the government in reporting the illegal immigrants they are arresting.

Things are going well in Louisiana,

Maybe becaus ICE has left that state (and of course the ICE target was New Orleans which is not under GOP control).


The shift appeared to signal a wind-down of the Louisiana deployment that was dubbed “Catahoula Crunch” and began in December with the arrival of more than 200 officers. The operation had been expected to last into February and swiftly raised fears in immigrant communities.

They got the cooperation they needed and now they're gone.

...and FBI agents are being "asked" to go to Minneapolis - you know, because the only crimes occuring these days are in Minneapolis....

The FBI has asked agents from field offices across the United States to voluntarily travel to Minneapolis for temporary assignments as the city reels from anti-ICE protests and the fatal shooting of Renee Good, according to two sources.

The request was first reported by Bloomberg and confirmed by a law enforcement official familiar with the messages and another source familiar with the requests who has seen the messages.
