JD Vance Heads to Minnesota

Wall Street Journal: “Tensions there are flaring, following an escalating clash between the Trump administration and local governments over crime and immigration policy. Vance will arrive one day before local Democrats are planning a huge ‘general strike’ to protest ICE, in which some people are planning to stop shopping, working, or attending school in advance of an afternoon march.”

“Trump has threatened to invoke the Insurrection Act in Minnesota, and the Justice Department in recent days has sent subpoenas to Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and other officials. Vance follows Attorney General Pam Bondi, who was just in Minneapolis meeting with federal prosecutors.”

“The big question is, where is this headed? Is there a way to lower the temperature (not literally, as the high on Thursday will be 9 degrees)? Both sides appear to be only digging in more.”
