Like many Donald Trump voters, Miranda Niedermeier is not opposed to immigration enforcement. She was heartened by initial moves from the #Republican president in his second term that she saw as targeting #immigrants who were in the United States illegally and had committed crimes.
But Niedermeier, 35, has steadily become disillusioned with Trump. Never more so than in recent weeks, when federal immigration officers killed two #US citizens during #Trump’s crackdown in #Minneapolis.
“In the beginning, they were getting criminals, but now they’re tearing people out of #immigration proceedings, looking for the tiniest traffic infraction” to deport someone, she said.
President Donald Trump's immigration crackdown in Minnesota is rattling voters in a highly competitive swing district in northern Colorado. Some Trump supporters are unnerved by the raids and the fatal shootings of two U.S. citizens by immigration agents. While other Trump voters also regret those deaths, they say the enforcement should continue. The district's congressman is Republican Gabe Evans, and the former police officer who's a Mexican American says many of the problems in Minnesota are due to Democrats inflaming the situation. Still, he's urging the administration to focus more on criminals in its immigration operations. Democrats are targeting Evans' district in November's midterm elections.

Intensive care nurses immediately doubted the word of federal #immigration officers when they arrived at a #Minneapolis hospital with a #Mexican #immigrant who had broken bones in his face and skull.
#ICE agents initially claimed Alberto Castañeda Mondragón had tried to flee while handcuffed and “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall,” according to court documents filed by a lawyer seeking his release.
But staff members at Hennepin County Medical Center determined that could not possibly account for the fractures and bleeding throughout the 31-year-old’s brain, said three nurses familiar with the case.

Nurses in Minneapolis doubted federal immigration officers' claims about a Mexican immigrant's severe injuries. ICE agents said Alberto Castañeda Mondragón ran headfirst into a wall while handcuffed. But hospital staff found his injuries inconsistent with that account. The seemingly implausible explanation from ICE is just one example of recent encounters that have undermined the agency’s credibility at Minneapolis hospitals and contributed to mounting friction between medical staff and immigration officers. Workers at the Hennepin County facility say ICE officers have restrained patients in defiance of hospital rules and stayed at their sides for days. The agents have also lingered around the campus and pressed people for proof of citizenship.

Det helt sjukt av Ap å vedta i programet at de skal gjøre en så enkel og viktig ting for klima, natur og småbedrifter/arbeidsplasser, og gå aktivt til valg på det(!) og så sitte i budsjettforhandlingene og kreve at MDG bruker av sin begrensede politiske kapital på å forhandle inn deres egen politikk, men fremdeles nekte å gjøre det! Og så stemme mot det når det kommer som forslag på Stortinget!
Hvilket grunnlag skal velgerne bruke for å vurdere hvem de skal stemme på?
