Overview
- Fox News and PJ Media cast “organized gangs of wine moms” as a domestic threat deploying “antifa tactics” against ICE.
- New York Times columnist Michelle Goldberg ridicules the narrative as contrived and misogynistic, contending it is being used to justify hard-line ICE operations in Minneapolis.
- She highlights burgeoning neighborhood ICE watch efforts and civic mobilization by middle-class women in Minnesota and other cities.
- An Economist/YouGov poll cited in her column found most Americans watched the shooting videos and only 30 percent judged the killing justified, with a plurality saying ICE makes cities less safe.
- Goldberg reports that DOJ pressure for a criminal probe of Becca Good prompted six federal prosecutors to resign, as DHS details a separate arrest in which an agent was struck with household tools before shooting a suspect and protesters later threw fireworks, and President Trump has threatened to invoke the Insurrection Act.
