Strongly Recommended Watch: 'An Execution of an American Citizen' in Minneapolis, Robert McWhirter
(youtube.com)
Criminal defense and civil rights attorney Robert McWhirter breaks down the legal arguments at play in the aftermath of the killing of a protester by a border patrol agent in Minneapolis over the weekend. McWhirter said given what's happening in Minneapolis, cell phones video may be as important as the Constitution for the protection of civil rights as the investigation.
resident Donald Trump indicated he’ll make changes to his administration’s deportation crackdown in Minnesota after the killing of two US citizens during immigration raids sparked nationwide uproar.
The president said he was sending US border czar Tom Homan — who is seen as relatively measured compared to rivals, including Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem — to Minneapolis in a bid to deescalate tensions.
Trump also spoke with Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, telling the Democrat who he has derided as “grossly incompetent” that he would consider independent investigations into the shootings and reducing the number of federal agents in his state.
Later, the White House suggested it could remove US Customs and Border Protection personnel from Minnesota if state and local law enforcement adopted additional “cooperative measures” to assist in the apprehension of undocumented migrants.
Taken together, the comments indicated that Trump might recognize that his maximum pressure deportation campaign has eroded public faith in immigration officials as well as his own political standing. That poses a risk for Republicans heading into November’s midterm elections.
