“The Trump administration has begun a massive deployment of hundreds of Department of Homeland Security agents to the Twin Cities area as it escalates its federal crackdown amid a widening fraud scandal in Minnesota,” CBS News reports.

“The crackdown could involve roughly 2,000 agents and officers from Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s deportation branch and Homeland Security Investigations, the agency’s investigative arm tasked with fighting transnational crimes.”


Applegrove: re-scandal If you need a scandal to destroy and scapegoat and you don't have one, re-investigate an old scandal and run through all the old wrongdoings really slow and loud.
