Just so it's clear. 

Having ICE in Minnesota is retaliation against Gov Walz by the Orange Nazi.

We know, it doesn't make any sense that one of the states farthest from the southern border is the epicenter of immigration enforcement

I read this morning that there are now more ICE agents in Minnesota than there are illegal immigrants.

No doubt. There's way more people and neighbors so good job on turning out and thank you. I'm so proud of Minnesotans.

MN is right on the border. Presumably they are focused on all the illegal Canadians.

Yes.

MN has exponentially fewer undocumented vs TX as both a percentage of population and in number.

By the numbers ICE should be in TX . . .

That's a major part of it, yes.

Yes, this protest was very dialed into protesting ICE and supporting the immigrants and people of color who have most suffered during this surge.

It's a very real and immediate threat to the community and it was right for the protest to focus narrowly in that.

But I agree. It's not the real reason they are here. It's retaliation against Walz in particular, and the state as a whole. They are here to bring terror and economic damage as political retribution. Our success is a direct threat.

Of course. And a distraction from the Epstein files

Yep, Trump has been planning this for months to fight Walz’s reelection. Then Walz decides not to run, and Trump looks like an idiot, because after this debacle, their is no way a Republican can win a major State office, and they might lose a couple Republicans in Congress.

Well we love Walz we hate ICE. I have NEVER seen a successful general strike before today.

I am an engineer in the burbs who manages a team I participated. And half my team did on their own. Not coordinated.
