How does Border Patrol have any jurisdiction in Minneapolis? I know that Noem and Trump admin give zero fucks about rules and norms, but how is their presence not being more aggressively challenged by state governments?

They got away with operating in Chicago by redefining the US border as the shores of Lake Michigan.

But Minneapolis is far outside of their self-defined 100-mile border zone.

It's not border patrol. It's Immigration and Customs Enforcement. They have jurisdiction everywhere.

It’s Border Patrol. They were in my neighborhood in Chicago just a couple weeks ago. Greg Bovino is Border Patrol. Media fucks this up all the time too, can’t seem to differentiate between ICE and Border Patrol. They are both under DHS. Many of the leaders of ICE have recently been replaced with Border Patrol agents because Trump admin likes the more aggressive tactics of Border Patrol.

It seems that both ICE and Border Patrol agents were present at this shooting in MN today.

It's more likely that border patrol was in Chicago because Chicago is within a hundred mile radius of a border so they have jurisdiction there.

I'm not sure what you're seeing that makes you believe these aren't ICE agents in Minneapolis.

Hmmm… might be the fucking border patrol badge on their jackets that I’m seeing

Ok I know where my picture is from. I don't have any idea where yours is from. But yeah. Be a faggot about it I guess.

The photo I posted was taken in Minneapolis this morning by a New York Times photographer. There is a caption and byline on the photo. Look at it again.

Greg Bovino, the head of Border Patrol has been omnipresent in Minneapolis.

Watch any news clip from the past few days and you will see some officers wearing Border Patrol insignia. Some wearing ICE insignia and some with just “federal police” or other vague uniform markings.

It’s not a debate or even a question. Border Patrol is operating in Minneapolis alongside Immigration and Custom Enforcement. They are all under the umbrella of DHS led by Kristi Noem.

Do some minimal reading and you will see it yourself. It’s not that hard to understand.

I couldn't care less. There are millions of people in the United States illegally and they all need to be rounded up and sent away. I don't care how it happens. I don't care if we need to start putting heads on pikes to deter people from coming here. I don't care if they have families. I don't care if they're your friends.

Yeah, it’s a divisive topic. On the one side, you’ve got those who believe in human rights and that it’s wrong to shoot people in the streets.

And on the other side… you’ve got fascists.

Oh so you want to kill me? Isn't that why you call people fascists? So you can kill them? Or at very least talk about killing them?

Get a grip, fascist.

I understand you enjoy being lied to by the government but no one ever said they wanted to kill you personally. I’m on the side AGAINST killing people.

You need help, man. Get some counseling. Touch grass.

Then why do you people constantly scream about killing fascists? And then call anyone with different opinions than you fascists? Kinda weird how that works, Bolshevik.

Your "I'm the good guy" bullshit isn't going to work with me bud.

I don't care how many times you call me a Nazi or fascist or say I'm a bootlicker or whatever nonsense you can come up with or what marvel or video game character is on your side. None of that has any meaning. You retards have overplayed your hand and none of this dog shit holds any value anymore.

Border Patrol agent, their Chief Bovino is with them, harassing a friend in Minneapolis yesterday.

Good. Time to go!

Yeah I don't care as long as they're kicking people out.

Border Patrol agents and their Chief are in Minneapolis.

From the internet:

Federal regulations allow the US Customs and Border Patrol to operate "anywhere within 100 miles of any US external boundary". "External boundary" includes the Canadian and Mexican borders, sea coasts and the great lakes; but it does not include airports.

The zone does include many major cities, not because airports count but because many major cities are within 100 miles of of an external boundary. About two thirds of the US population lives within the zone.

The CBP does not have the same powers in the zone that they have at the border. They cannot stop or search someone away from the border without reasonable suspicion or probable cause.

(looks like the twin cities are closer to 150 from lake superior so not sure why they'd have any jurisdiction)

Yes, this is exactly my point. I’m wondering why MN wouldn’t challenge their presence in a court.

Cynical part of me suspects democrats are ok with letting ICE run rampant because it’s helpful for them politically. So instead of fighting it, they prefer to use it to drive people to vote in Nov.

Even Border Chief was out harassing Uber drivers at the airport in Minneapolis.

They’re just doing PR stunts with news team following them around.

They were doing the same shit about 4 blocks from my house in late Dec, right before xmas. Bovino and goons harassing people at a gas station with a camera crew following them around.

They do it for Border Patrol social media content.

Upside down world.

Exactly

It’s purely for content creation.
