If Minnesota's government actually cared about its citizens, it would be helping Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to pick up the illegal alien criminals in its state.
Instead, because ICE agents can't pick them up from the jails, as they do with so many other states, ICE then has to go into the community, find them, and more problems can arise. They have to deal with anti-ICE activists. The person they're trying to pick up can cause a problem. It makes everyone less safe, and it puts the community at greater risk from the criminals.
The White House explained the facts.
🚨Minnesota sanctuary politicians have released nearly 470 criminal illegal aliens back into American communities since President Trump took office.

🚨ICE working every single day to remove the worst of the worst criminal illegal aliens from terrorizing their state.

That's all on Democrats who are responsible for this. Democrats like Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey have helped to incite the response against ICE.
It's gotten so out of control that the agitators are now harassing random people they think might be ICE agents.

But an ICE agent showed how idiotic these actions are in a simple message that he delivered in St. Paul, Minnesota.

"We're here to arrest a child sex offender," he said. "And you guys are out here honking."
They responded that they were the press, but the vehicle in front wasn't.
“That vehicle right there is honking and impeding our investigations while we’re trying to arrest a child sex offender. That’s who you guys are protecting—INSANE,” the agent said, shaking his head at how crazy it was.
Do any of the anti-ICE crew even consider what they are doing with their actions, that they are providing cover for people like that? They're so wed to the propaganda of how, by doing this, they are somehow standing up to President Donald Trump and "fascism," that they don't seem to care about the reality of what they're actually doing and who they are really defending. Dear agitators: You are not the good guys; you are on the wrong side of history and the law. This needs to be played on a loop until these anti-ICE agitators get it. This is what Democrats have precipitated; this is what they are celebrating.
Thank the ICE agents for all they do. They are doing great work to defend us in the face of all the efforts against them.
