In a move reminiscent of the Redcoats fleeing the colonies, ICE/DHS has withdrawn thousands of their agents from the streets of Minneapolis. This is a bittersweet victory over the régime, given its costs and the fact that ICE still remains in the city at all. Nevertheless, we join Harold Meyerson of The American Prospect in putting one in the W column.

As Meyerson rightly points out, courage is contagious. In the wake of Minnesotans’ defiant defense of their neighbors we have seen Congressional Democrats suddenly locate their spines; we’ve seen other mayors and governors finally moved to action to protect their citizens from the white nationalist terrorists occupying our communities. And most importantly, we’ve seen thousands of citizens across America come together in community.
