Minnesota GOP gubernatorial candidate Chris Madel drops out, faults Trump immigration policy

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — A lawyer for the immigration officer who shot and killed Renee Good dropped out of the Minnesota governor race Monday, breaking with many fellow Republicans and calling President Donald Trump’s immigration operation in the state an “unmitigated disaster.”

“I cannot support the national Republicans’ stated retribution on the citizens of our state,” Madel said. “Nor can I count myself a member of a party that would do so.”

Madel said that U.S. citizens, “particularly those of color, live in fear.”

“United States citizens are carrying papers to prove their citizenship," Madel said. "That’s wrong.”

Madel said he personally had heard from local Asian and Hispanic law enforcement officers who had been pulled over by ICE.

“I have read about and I have spoken to help countless United States citizens who have been detained in Minnesota due to the color of their skin,” Madel said.

Add him to the 6 Federal prosecutors and 1 FBI agent, who have quit in recent weeks.

Thing is, if all the people who adhere to rule of law and justice quit, they will probably be replaced by more Gestapo.

Steve...remembers when most Republicans were decent human beings.

Sadly, it seems like there is an endless queue of soul-less people with no morals but only blind ambition, who are happy to take their place. Mind you, they don't need to be competent, they just must give Trump absolute fealty.

no morals but only blind ambition

That's the Trump regime, in a nutshell.

DHS bars Trump border commissioner from traveling to Minneapolis

Rodney Scott is Trump's U.S. Customs and Border Protection Commissioner. According to the Examiner's Monday report, conflicts with Scott have led Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and her close ally, special Department of Homeland Security (DHS) employee Corey Lewandowski, to mount "an aggressive campaign" to try and make the commissioner "so uncomfortable at work that he would resign."

Noem and Lewandowski reportedly view Scott as a hindrance to the execution of Trump's immigration agenda, which calls for a mass deportation of at least 1,000 undocumented immigrants. Scott has reportedly bristled at some of the tactics employed.

"[Scott] asks questions or challenges them when they make decisions that they may not have knowledge of, or should I say, have no experience with," one source told the examiner, later adding, "The most evil was when they attacked other people in retaliation to get to [Scott]. Corey Lewandowski said that he wanted to make it as tough on these people as possible, their families, their children, everybody.”

"Noem and Lewandowski see people like Rodney Scott, Tom Homan, and Todd Lyons as threats because they carry institutional credibility that doesn’t depend on proximity to power or press," another source told the outlet.
