'It's starting to turn against us': White House reckons with Minnesota fallout
www.politico.com

... President Donald Trump offered the first hint that the political crisis engulfing his administration would lead to changes on the ground.

The Trump administration is rushing to contain the political fallout after a second person was killed by a federal immigration agent in Minneapolis.

Republicans across the spectrum have for weeks warned the White House that its implementation of the president's immigration agenda had Americans increasingly anxious about the federal government's heavy-handed role. The backlash exploded this weekend following the shooting of 37-year-old Alex Pretti in Minneapolis. ...

On Monday, President Donald Trump offered the first hint that the political crisis engulfing his administration would lead to changes on the ground. He deployed border czar Tom Homan to Minneapolis, a move viewed by some administration officials and Trump allies as a recognition that the president needed to change course. Homan, Trump said, will report "directly to me."

Border Patrol commander Gregory Bovino, who has led a series of aggressive raids in multiple blue cities, will also leave Minneapolis, though it's unclear how many agents will depart with him, said an administration official, granted anonymity to discuss internal planning.

"That is intentional," said a second administration official, granted anonymity to speak candidly. "Tom needs to be in charge." ...


The Congressional Research Service did an analysis of similarly situated legislation in 2010; Constitutionality of Excluding Aliens from the Census for Apportionment and Redistricting Purposes .

Conclusion

The Constitution requires a decennial census to determine the "actual enumeration" of the "whole number of persons" in the United States. The data must be used to apportion the House seats among the states, although there is no constitutional requirement it be used to determine voting districts within the states. The term "whole number of persons" appears broad enough to include all individuals, regardless of citizenship status, and thus would appear to require the entire population be included in the apportionment calculation. As such, a constitutional amendment, such as that found in H.J.Res. 11 in the 111th Congress, would likely be necessary in order to exclude any individuals from the census count for the purpose of apportioning House seats.

There is zero doubt what happened, 54 seconds in.

Add in the video where we see the gun was taken from the male nurse right in front of the agent's eyes, and there is no chance this shooting was defensible.

I don't think this was murder, though. Agent was in over his head and made an error.

Come to think of it- it sure does! It was coind by a Brit, though, so makes sense it should sound at least bi-curious...

John becomes the central character of the novel because, rejected both by the "savage" Indian culture and the "civilized" World State culture, he is the ultimate outsider.
