In a must-read essay, Adam Serwer puts his finger on why courageous people in Minnesota have been able to force the Trump regime to backtrack:

"The pushback against ICE exposed a series of mistaken assumptions. ...

Perhaps the Trump-administration officials had hoped that a few rabble-rousers would get violent, justifying the kind of crackdown he seems to fantasize about."

"Maybe they had assumed that they would find only a caricature of 'the resistance'—people who seethed about Trump online but would be unwilling to do anything to defend themselves against him.

Instead, what they discovered in the frozen North was something different: a real resistance, broad and organized and overwhelmingly nonviolent, the kind of movement that emerges only under sustained attacks by an oppressive state."
