"I can say this, if the local, county and state government would support the federal governments legal operations in Minnesota, ICE would probably be done by now & idk if anyone would have been hurt unnecessarily."
I know, not directed at me but... This isn't about Illegal aliens in MN. It's about Trump's war with Walz- the guy in the party on the ballot opposite Trump's party in the last election for POTUS.
From the Wikipedia entry on Operation Metro Surge:
"DHS reported by December 13, 2025 the operation had resulted in the arrest of 400 undocumented immigrants, claiming this included pedophiles, rapists, kidnappers, and drug traffickers. In January 2026, ICE reported that 103 out of 2,000 arrestees, or about 5 percent, had records of violent crimes.
A review of a list of names of individuals ICE said it had arrested in Minneapolis, however, showed that at least several had not in fact been arrested in the operation but had been transferred from state custody to DHS before December 1, 2025, including one individual who had been transferred in 2003. On January 19, 2026, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem claimed in a post on Twitter that ICE had "arrested over 10,000 criminal illegal aliens" in Minneapolis, including 3,000 in the past six weeks."
I'll look later but.... In a press conference after the Pretti shooting, it was revealed that 2 MN counties had advised the Feds that 2 inmates were due to be released that were wanted for immigration matters. The Feds had been notified much earlier but the release was within 2 weeks.
No response from the Feds. No notification as to what was expected. Noting requesting they be transported or that any of the additional thousands of immigration people here for Operation Metro Surge would come get a couple of wanted "birds in hand". It is against MN law to keep a prisoner after they have completed their sentence so they were released.
Please, tell me again about support and cooperation...
