service members are supposed to disobey illegal orders.
He's now suing them for that.
Speaking of suing the Trump administration, the city of Chicago and the state of Illinois and the state of Minnesota and the cities of St.
Paul and Minneapolis have all brought major lawsuits tonight against the Trump administration to try to stop the attack by Trump's federal agents on those states and those cities.
Trump's attack on Minneapolis in particular has been absolutely chaotic and bizarre and totally incoherent, even more so in the wake of the killing of Renee Nicole Goode last week by an ICE officer who last week shot her three times through her windshield and her open driver's side window.
I mean, it's just been nuts in Minneapolis.
In this one Minneapolis home, these totally out of control, heavily armed officers broke down the door and rammed their way inside as the homeowner demanded to see a warrant allowing them to enter.
The Associated Press reporting tonight that those agents didn't have a warrant from a judge authorizing their forced entry into a private residence, but they just did it anyway into a home with kids inside, apparently completely disregarding any applicable law.
This was today in Minneapolis as well.
A man named Christian Molina, a U.S.
citizen, was driving south on 36th Street in South Minneapolis.
He says he inadvertently made eye contact with an ICE officer who was lurking in an alley watching cars go by.
The ICE agent then chased him and literally rammed his car into Mr. Molina.
rammed his car into Mr. Molina's vehicle, into the rear driver's side of his car, and then demanded that Mr. Molina show his papers.
Mr. Molina is a U.S.
citizen?
According to the Minneapolis Star Tribune tonight, quote, as agents confronted Christian Molina, dozens of community members came outside to disrupt them.
The people who responded to that scene included a Minneapolis City Council member who told the paper that after Mr. Molina told the agents he knew his rights and that this was an illegal stop and he didn't need to show them anything, and after all of those people poured into the street to support this guy, the agents, I kid you not, what did they do?
They set off two tear gas canisters in the street and then ran away.
That was their contribution to public order and safety in South Minneapolis today.
