"Trump’s #Minnesota crackdown has proceeded with little regard for the #law, drawing a backlash from local residents who have scrambled to #protest against the massive deployment of federal agents & their violent tactics. Since the deaths of #Good and #Pretti, those #protests have only intensified, and Trump’s response has been to double down. The US attorneys who haven’t quit in protest now have to deal with the #legal fallout."
