President Trump announced late Monday that he had what he described as a “very good” phone conversation with Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, and just like that, the political temperature in Minnesota shifted, at least a little. After more than a week of protests, street chaos, and nonstop Democrat finger-pointing over federal immigration enforcement, the White House and Minneapolis City Hall are suddenly talking instead of shouting past each other. In a post on Truth Social, President Trump said progress was being made and confirmed that Tom Homan, the administration’s border czar and former ICE director, would meet directly with Frey on Tuesday. That alone is a noteworthy development given how aggressively Frey and other Minnesota Democrats have attacked Operation Metro Surge, the federal deployment of ICE and Border Patrol agents across the Minneapolis metro area. Minnesota has become ground zero in the national immigration fight after the Trump administration launched the surge to target illegal immigrants with criminal records. That is the part critics keep trying to ignore. Federal officials have been clear that this is not random enforcement, it is focused on criminals. But progressive activists and local leaders responded with predictable outrage, lawsuits, and street protests that quickly…

As Minnesota reels from violent unrest that has included rioters attacking federal officers, even reportedly biting agents’ fingers, the federal response announced this week left many Americans stunned and angry. Attorney General Pam Bondi revealed on Fox News that after a full day of work, the Department of Justice sent Minnesota Governor Tim Walz what she described as a “very strong letter.” That announcement, delivered with total seriousness, immediately ignited backlash online and across conservative media. For critics, the timing could not have been worse. Minnesota is facing what many see as open lawlessness: federal agents allegedly assaulted, gunfire erupting near enforcement operations, and local leaders openly condemning federal authorities. Against that backdrop, Bondi’s declaration that the administration’s response, at least so far,  is a sternly worded letter struck many as painfully inadequate. Speaking on Fox News, Bondi said the letter warned Walz that he “better support President Trump” and “better support the men and women in law enforcement.” When pressed on whether the letter carried any real consequences, Bondi replied, “Well, we’ll see. This is fluid.” PAM BONDI: "We sent Tim Walz a VERY STRONG LETTER today. We have been working on this letter." Are f'ng shitting me? WTAF?…
