Here's hoping he's right

 When even the (relatively) conservative business columnist for the Star Tribune writes things like this, I have a little hope.

Operation Metro Surge, in which more than 2,000 federal agents have arrested undocumented immigrants in Minnesota over the last seven weeks, has become a political disaster for the Trump administration.

The Jan. 7 slaying of Renee Good by an ICE agent was the turning point, of course. And if Republicans lose statewide races this fall as now seems likely, they will look back on that day with the agony they have so far failed to express over her death.

National polls since have shown plummeting support for ICE and for President Donald Trump’s entire approach to immigration. Last week, an Economist/YouGov poll found a sudden surge of support for abolishing ICE. And 61% of respondents in a New York Times/Siena Poll published Friday said ICE tactics had gone too far.
