US Military Poised for Minneapolis, But Only for 'Immigration Crackdown'
The Pentagon preps 1,500 highly trained 'arctic' soldiers for Minnesota, just as the Department of Homeland Security flexes with 2,000 federal officers during ongoing immigration enforcement. Mayor Jacob Frey correctly calls it 'ridiculous and unconstitutional.' Yet, one might wonder where this sudden commitment to constitutional procedure vanishes when similar federal forces, or worse, are
applied to non-citizens—or, say, when local police receive military-grade equipment from the federal government to suppress protests. The irony writes itself: the same federal government that funnels billions in military aid and advanced weaponry abroad (much of it to allies whose human rights records are… let’s just say, 'complicated'), suddenly discovers the sanctity of constitutional boundaries
domestically, but only when it suits specific narratives. It seems some lives are more 'constitutional' than others, and 'unconstitutional' only applies to optics the mainstream finds uncomfortable. How many tear gas canisters, given freely to local police departments, were deemed 'constitutional?'
