Why is ICE concentrating in Minnesota? Texas probably has many more undocumented workers

[surfered]

Is it because Minnesota is a blue state and never voted for Trump?

[RockRaven]

1. Trying to win the gubernatorial election in 2026?

[WhiskeyGrinder]

2. Blue state, Ilhan Omar, Tim Walz. It's not about immigration. It's about punishing and sowing chaos.

[Klarkashton]

3. Notice that it's Minnesota and Portland.

The two places that Trump got a very red ass last time.
There are no coincidences.

[ibegurpard]

4. And George Floyd, Black Lives Matter, Derek Chauvin

n/t

[Ocelot II]

5. It's that, plus hating Tim Walz for having been Kamala Harris' running mate,

plus the presence of many Somali immigrants, plus Somali immigrant Ilhan Omar in particular whom he hates for being an outspoken progressive, plus George Floyd, plus Melissa Hortman who was murdered by a Trump fan, plus being a sanctuary state, and one that has legal protection for LGBTQ+ people and reproductive rights and all sorts of woke DEI stuff.

6. A combination of things...

We haven't voted for a Republican President since 1972, we are a high rated progressive state with progress state programs, we protect groups that MAGA hates like immigrants and the transgendered, plus our Governor is Tim Walz who Trump wants to destroy. I think he hates Walz because he embodies everything that Trump will never be-compassionate, selfless and kind.

And of course the Somali population and the fraud investigations are a perfect storm for him to exploit for his political purposes.

[Johonny]

8. And the Floyd protests started there

He wants the race riots of 2020, but this time he plans to kill the protestors.

Everything is payback. He has no love of or for Americans.

[Arazi]

7. Hoping for enough provocation to invoke the Insurrection Act

1. With the George Floyd/BLM history, this administration has always harbored a grudge for a city that rallied for change. They’ve yearned to crush that community for years.

2. Minneapolis/St Paul are a political symbol of “lawlessness” for the right, similar to Chicago as a shorthand “code” for violent crime.

3. Traitor hates Tim Walz and Ilhan Omar - more reasons for an armed invasion in MN.

4. The successful integration of immigrants in Minneapolis must be stopped in the minds of these racist freaks. They’re trying to manufacture a national panic based on Somalis (that can be extrapolated nationally) with the fraud investigation giving them the perfect wedge

[Raine]

9. Minnesota is a sanctuary state and Texas is not

that's the difference.

[Nixie]

10. His whole charade isn't about undocumented workers. It's all staging

to couch his real agenda(s) —- wars on blue states, provoking violence so he can use his powers to lord over other elected officials. The usual dictator power grabs. Edit: power grabs for grifting.

[Takket]

11. think you answered your own question there

[moondust]

12. political war

Yes, they never voted for TheRump. And Gov. Tim Walz was on the opposition ticket. That all makes them the "enemy."

TheRump doesn't have the moral character to constrain himself in any conflict with his "enemies." Winning is the only thing no matter what it takes. He's a predatory sadist as are many of those he supports including those he hires to fight his "wars."

[kwolf68]

14. Sad thing is...

If that orange pile of dogshit was put on ANY equal playing field in terms of toughness, smarts, intelligence, character, bravery he'd fall vastly short. It's pathetic such a hollow, empty vessel is lionized by 30% of this nation. At least Adolf Hitler had the courage to serve in war.

[artemisia1]

13. Texas is a Red State. Maybe not in the future, though, after Trump burns the country down. /nt

[superpatriotman]

15. Florida, too

Texas and Florida have pro-Krasnov governors, though

[allegorical oracle]

23. DeSatan just gave his final "state of the state" address earlier this week. Chock full of boastful

lies and exaggerations. There is some ICE activity occurring in Fla -- Miami and Jacksonville areas. Miami detainings and deportments could help Dems. But there will be interference from djt.

[RainCaster]

16. it's a distraction from the Epstein Files

The Orange Molester is throwing everything at the fan.

[bucolic_frolic]

17. Just a guess

Gov Walz and proximity to Canada.

[ColoringFool]

18. I See You've Figured It Out.

[Luz]

19. I've heard rumors that San Antonio is seeing a

larger presence, and a few rumbles from Austin as well. Not sure about north Texas.

[surfered]

22. Austin would fit their pattern as it's more liberal than other parts of the state

[valleyrogue]

20. Retribution because Gov. Walz ran against

Trump and Vance in the last presidential election.

[hatrack]

21. Thing is, if they really wanted an "incident" with lots of deaths/wounds, they'd go to MS or AL or TX . . .

. . . and start pulling the same shit in Pascagoula or Birmingham or Waco.

But they won't do that. Those are states where Real 'Murcans live, and we can't have their precious lives put in danger.
