ICE is Still Operating in Minneapolis and Local Activists Aren't Happy
John Sexton
Two weeks ago, Jonathan Chait was one of many left-wingers who seemed to be declaring victory of ICE and President Trump. Here's a bit of what he was saying.
Trump’s retreat in Minneapolis is a stinging defeat for the national conservatives, the Republican Party’s most nakedly authoritarian faction...
Trump’s capitulation would never have occurred if not for the heroic, disciplined resistance in Minneapolis. Faced with something like an occupying army that was systematically flouting the law, the people of Minneapolis thrust its abuse into the public eye, raising the political cost of Miller’s war until enough Republicans decided that they couldn’t bear to pay it.
That response was mild compared to the Bulwark, which was saying it was time to plan the new Nuremberg trials. I pointed out at the time that this seemed like a bit of over-celebration by the left. In fact, not that much had changed.
