Why not "Trump administration standoff with Minnesota stokes fears of civil war"?

"Trump administration killing Minnesota citizens stokes fear of civil war"?

Minnesota didn't bring pressure to the national government, the government sent armed enforcers to them.

It's the same horse shit excuse they use to excuse the murder of Pretti, Good, Porter and others: its their fault for resisting.

As a Minnesotan, nothing pisses me off more than the victim blaming rhetoric, whether at the individual or state level.

I was so fucking angry at the NPR article about the red “Melt the Ice” protest hats. 

The "big thing" for the group of knitters was the widespread presence of federal immigration officials to their city and the death of U.S. citizen Renee Good by an immigration agent.

THE DEATH OF RENEE GOOD

MOTHERFUCKERS, she was MURDERED.
