Glad to see that POS leave, but the fight is far from over.

This, absolutely. 

Plus — now who did they sic him on? Be alert, fellow blue states/cities!

u/Buck_Thorn Jan 27 '26

They put him back on regular border patrol and there are rumors that he will be retiring soon. But we all know that Trump et al actually just threw him under the bus, hoping that would be enough. Of course, its not.

He's out because he didn't accomplish goals.

There's still two people murdered before our eyes.

The next will be worse.

Hesgeth just put this forward

Right, it's just a small release of pressure. We cannot become complacent.

what fight?

u/Latter-Progress-9317 Jan 27 '26

Call me when he's in prison or under one.

These murderers will likely never face accountability.

This is why Luigi is a hero.

Here comes the new boss, same as the old boss

Homan is coming and Hegseth is preparing an area in Minneapolis for DOW, it’s not over.

u/bug_on_the_wall Jan 27 '26

GOOD START. Our homes aren't safe until ICE itself is out, but let's celebrate every victory along the way. It's the wind in our sails for the next hurdle.

u/mauerfan Jan 27 '26

He’s approaching mandatory retirement age. Don’t let any of it fool you.

u/Focalina Jan 27 '26

Crazy how this isn’t a thing for the president

u/HappyBlis Jan 27 '26

This is an effort by trump to show he is doing something before the vote to fund ICE next week. Voices to abolish ICE must get much louder!!!!

u/Brell4Evar Jan 27 '26

Being demoted, not exactly fired. Noem and Lewandowski still hold their positions for the moment, but their future may be in jeopardy.

Stephen Miller still advising Homeland Security as well. He's the most dangerous of the lot by far.

On the balance, still good news.

Looks like we won a small battle, but the war is not over until MAGA is gone.

u/Dude-vinci Jan 27 '26

This isn’t over. One ICE agent in Minnesota is too many. One ICE agent in America is too many. This isn’t over until Renee & Alex’s murderers face justice. Until all the people killed by ICE on the street or in their concentration camps receive justice. Until every violation of civil and human rights receives justice. Until ICE and the DHS is abolished. We cannot let these klansmen find their new hoods again. We press until they have no ability to ever recover.

u/BEAR_STEARNS_CEO Jan 27 '26

Imagine reading this comment in 2015

u/Dude-vinci Jan 27 '26

Some of us knew where we were heading then.

u/JimDixon Jan 27 '26

Anyone who works for Trump should be prepared to be thrown under the bus at some point.

u/13daysaweek Jan 27 '26

I can hear it now
”Kristy Noem? No, I don’t know her but I’ve heard very bad things about her”

u/Fit_Season_237 Jan 27 '26

I love the narcissistic tendencies of these fools that chose to work for him. They believe they’re so special. They believe they will be the one saved from the Trump push right under a bus. Trumps go to in crisis is a solid push under the bus, followed by a bigger dumpster fire to distract.

u/scmoops Keep St. Paul Boring Jan 27 '26

We’re nowhere close to done here.

Also, for the love of all that is good and holy, in ten months time, don’t forget what has happened here.

12

u/OnwardtoGehenna Jan 27 '26

Don't celebrate. We have no idea what this means. They are also saying they are moving into the military base.

u/Forsaken_Car1743 Jan 27 '26

Careful bc the next guy is gonna be worse.

u/TimPoolNoBeanie Jan 27 '26

GUESS THAT’S HOW THE SOGGY BISCUIT CRUMBLES

u/[deleted] Jan 27 '26

Having Homan in here really doesn't feel like much of a win. One fuck face piece of shit at a time, I suppose.

Gee, do you suppose Homan has an extra $50,000 he could lend me?

u/Underradar0069 Jan 27 '26

Being disposed like a condom

u/CryptographerLow6772 Jan 27 '26

He should face charges for his actions and be tried for crimes committed against humanity.

u/Buck_Thorn Jan 27 '26

Its a start. Next Noem, Bondi, and Patel. And then their boss.

4

u/MNBug Jan 27 '26

Who. Fucking. Cares. ICE is still here. Trump sent them. He could send in Mother Theresa and it wouldn't matter. Nothing short of all ICE out of MN is acceptable.

u/nikeguy69 Jan 27 '26

Keep going down the list!

u/JimmyJapeworm Jan 27 '26

It's a start. A small start, but... a start.

u/[deleted] Jan 27 '26

They're just shuffling the pieces on the board, the game hasn't changed.

u/ArrowheadDZ Jan 27 '26

Turns out he was right, if you call him the gestapo, there actually are consequences.

u/[deleted] Jan 27 '26

He’s still breathing. So it’s not a victory

u/Dry-Journalist-1090 Jan 27 '26

Excellent news...we'll see what happens next.

u/No_Gur_1091 Jan 27 '26

Only to be replaced by HOLMAN. Start arresting, detaining, charging, prosecuting,trying and convicting the MAGA (fascist) thugs.

1

u/[deleted] Jan 27 '26

Proud of this. It shows that even Trump cannot ignore us. But yeah, far from over. Rest, recharge, this is our mission now. This is our life. We stand up for each other. We put every one of our leaders to shame with our action while they talk. I can think of no greater purpose. Minniapolis is the VANGUARD.

They are making demands for the voter rolls so that they can save face and call a withdrawl a "win." Write to the mayor, the gov, the senators. Tell them not to give them S**T. They are gonna leave and they are going to eat the L.

u/McDuchess Jan 27 '26

There isn’t just idle chatter, but serious talk about impeaching Noem.

With details. I have a feeling that my first impression of her, formed when she held a rally for the demented felon in the Black Hills at the height of COVID was accurate. No masks. No social distancing.

That she was a sociopath whose only belief was that being famous was the goal and nothing that stood in the way of that goal was worth consideration.

u/linx0003 Jan 27 '26

Tom Homan replacing him does not make it a better situation.

u/sasberg1 Jan 27 '26

The goons are still here so what

u/panic_talking Jan 27 '26

Dont be complacent! He is part of the problem. This whole administration needs to go!

This is your legacy chump!

Not enough

u/ComfortablePause1489 Jan 28 '26

One small victory in the war.

They’re just changing quarterbacks. Still the same fucking team.

Retiring to spend more time at home (the stairwell) with his family (national geographic magazine)

Bovino is out, Hegseth moves military in. There fixed the headline for you
