    Border czar Tom Homan said a drawdown in federal agents will happen
    when
    more Minnesota counties cooperate and if people stop interfering with
    federal agents.

    "If you violate the law, you will be federally prosecuted," Homan said
    during a press conference on Wednesday.



    The party of Jan 6 is now the party of law and order.

    And as for that bribe Homan himself was caught taking,
    well, don't expect HIM to be "federally prosecuted".....



    Homan says in the past month, 158 people have been arrested for
    impeding
    or assaulting federal officers, with 85 cases already accepted for prosecution.

    The Department of Homeland Security posted photos of nine people on X, saying, "more agitators arrested in Minneapolis."

    One pictured in the post is Davis Redmond. Court documents say he was "driving aggressively" while following border patrol agents through Minneapolis before he "suddenly (accelerated) his car, colliding with
    the black GMC" driven by border patrol.

    Redmond's attorney said on Thursday the charges he faces were
    downgraded
    from a felony to a misdemeanor.

    "The charges are bogus, and the decision to bring this case is
    outrageous," the attorney said in an email to WCCO.

    In a separate case, prosecutors claim Brittany Stallings assaulted a
    federal agent on Jan. 24, the day Alex Pretti was shot and killed.
    Court
    documents say Stallings shoved the agent and punched him in the face.

    Timothy Catlett was also featured in the DHS post online. Prosecutors
    accused Catlett of "giving an officer the middle finger" during an
    operation in St. Cloud on Jan. 12. Court documents say when the
    officers
    tried to leave, Catlett pounded on the hood and kicked the side door of
    their car. On Thursday, the U.S. Attorney's Office filed to dismiss the
    case.

    It's unclear if the number cited by Homan includes cases like Matt
    Allen, better known as Twin Cities rapper Nur-D. WCCO cameras captured
    his arrest on Jan. 24.


    In reading history the enforcement
    of immigration laws looks a lot like the
    enforcement of the fugitive slave laws.
    In both cases the public is disgusted with
    the enforcers and sympathetic with those
    being arrested.

    just being grabbed by somebody and so I began to run, and as I was
    thrown to the ground, I was told I was under arrest for assaulting a
    federal officer."

    Nur-D claims he did nothing wrong and said his attorneys plan to pursue
    legal action against DHS.

    WCCO reached out to attorneys for Catlett and Stallings for comment.
