    if the above two points are valid and true then surely the Federal government has the absolute right to apply the law in Minneapolis?

    Applying the law is one thing, flooding a city with 2 to 3000 masked
    men carrying guns, insufficiently trained, is another. These ICE agents
    are running amok in the streets, using sheer force, attacking protesters
    and on two occasions, actually killing them. They are going into homes without warrants (sometimes using ICE warrants, which aren't sufficient
    to enter someones property) and arresting people om a whim.

    Or are indeed the current American administration a bunch of reckless hoodlums and thugs?

    They are sock puppets to a narcisstic President who is acting more like
    a disctator every day.

    The latter.

    There's a middle ground. The government was elected with a mandate, but maybe the electorate was not expecting it to be carried out with such
    zeal and cruelty.-a It reminds me a bit of Nazi Germany.

    Me too, and I'm surprised how easy it has been for DJT to get away with
    his actions. I'm hoping that with the killing of Alex Pretti is a
    turning point and that more Republicans can see the harm that's occurring.

    The 2026 mid terms will be interesting, but I wouldn't be surprised if something bad happened to prevent them taking place.

    If they do go ahead I think DJT will be left with a very bloody nose (figuratively)

    It will be interesting to see if their famed constitution can stand up
    to Trump's shennanigans.

    It's failing at the moment but I certainly hope the tide turns and it's upheld.

    Me to. The only good thing is that Trump is a good deal older than
    Hitler and his diet and lifestyle promise to do what the constitution
    may fail to do!

    I would like to think anything would be an improvement on Donald, but
    sadly he probably wouldn't be much better. I saw a clip this morning
    where JD did an interview with the Daily Mail, and he was asked if he
    wanted to apologise to the family of Alex Pretti for retweeting he was
    an assassin (1) and he said apologise for what? The interviewer pushed
    him further and said, if the enquiry found that Alex's constitutional
    rights had been violated would he apologise, and he just spouted on
    about hypotheticals.

    From what I have heard, Vance would be worse.
