Attorney General Pam Bondi wrote to Governor Tim Walz telling him that President Trump will remove ICE from Minnesota if the state government hands over the data necessary for Trump to steal the 2026 elections in Minnesota. ICE activities in Minnesota have little or nothing to do with immigration.
Unlike Minnesota, Texas and Florida werenโt invaded by lawless, masked โimmigrationโ ICE thugs. Thatโs because their residents voted for Donald Trump and their governors flatter him. This isnโt about immigration; itโs about deeply damaged Donaldโs brittle ego.
La situaciรณn en Minneapolis va mal. Hay mucha actividad delictiva, casi toda por parte de agentes federales. Estamos deprimidos, pero al mismo tiempo estamos orgullosos de nuestra comunidad. ยกLa voluntad de la comunidad de resistir a Trump y sus secuaces es mรกs fuerte que nunca!

Ricardo is right! Carlos has a excellent portfolio of research papers. In fact, we had trouble choosing which one to use as his job market paper.
Carlos and I had several helpful and fun discussions about our research projects. I would note that he has (7!) other projects at the draft stage in his website! Prolific researcher, interesting questions and a great personality. @carlosbolivar03.bsky.social, when are we writing a paper?
Jorge is right! Carlos has put together a fantastic model that can be put to lots of uses.
Another great paper from a great candidate @carlosbolivar03.bsky.social His paper is super relevant in todayโs times where trade policy uncertainty, tariffs and near shoring are affecting the decisions of firms and consumers all over the world. Carlos is also a great economist!
