'An escalating showdown between federal and local authorities is playing out on the streets of Minneapolis, making even some Trump supporters uneasy.

MINNEAPOLIS—For months, Jacob Frey, the Minneapolis mayor, felt a growing dread watching the number of federal immigration and Border Patrol agents swell from dozens to hundreds to thousands, all deployed to his city to carry out President Trump’s promise of the largest deportation of illegal immigrants in American history.

“We’ve seen constant, constant, escalation,” Frey said. “The [police] chief and I were both publicly and privately expressing deep concern of the possibility, even likelihood, that somebody was going to get seriously injured or killed.”

Then Renee Good, a 37-year-old mother, was fatally shot in the head on Jan. 7 by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent during one of the many protests erupting in the city against the actions of federal agents. On Saturday, it happened again.

Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old nurse at the Minneapolis VA Medical Center, was shot with 10 rounds and killed by a Border Patrol agent after a group of officers wrestled him to the frozen ground in front of a doughnut shop where he died.'

Calling @Cje95 to the defense of Trumps police state autocracy and its deliberate creation of conditions where pretext can be created to call a state of emergency and cancel democracy.
