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
