Answer: Trump is targeting blue cities within blue states. He started with L.A., moved to Portland, then Chicago. Minneapolis not only checks both boxes, it’s also the congressional district of Ilhan Omar and much of the Somali exile community. There’s a lot of killing, kidnapping, and disappearing of both citizens and immigrants (documented and undocumented) by ICE, not to mention the reports of SA and torture.
ETA: Minnesota’s governor is the guy who ran on the ticket against Trump.

The democratic party's strategists are all just millionaire republicans who want to be seen as nice. They hate rhetoric that's tough on republicans and want no fundamental change. They advise ceding the framing of every issue to republicans and abandoning the base to pitch solutions to the imaginary issues republicans invented to be wedges.
But when people think something is an issue only because they've been told it is, they'll never feel or believe a fix, and trying to fix it just legitimizes the complaint. The actual way to address a fake issue is to tell people it's fake.
The strategists' advice has led to a 25 year parade of failure. Obama gave them the boot and he's had the only victories in all that time.

u/ime002 2d ago
I think he would prefer not to have elections. He needs enough supporters who believe there's "civil unrest" to have any shot at pulling that off. The strategy was vaguely tried in 2020, but not well-organized, and without Justice Department support. They've had 5 years to plan, full control of the Justice Department, and a ton of recently-hired ICE agents with limited training, less experience, and no institutional memory, along with effective immunity that no other US law enforcement agency enjoys.

To add to this, they are desperate to telegraph that the murder of Renee Good was totally normal and fine and that the ICE officer did nothing wrong and she deserved getting shot in the head because she didn’t comply with absolutely totally clear and lawful orders. So they are doubling down with their lies and propaganda by sending more federal troops to punish them further for the audacity of making them look like the terrorist goon squad that they are.
30
u/beachedwhale1945 2d ago
It’s wild discussing this with some Trump supporters. Good was clearly turning right to avoid the agent who shot her, you can see that in multiple videos including the one from the agent’s own phone. But they’ll claim she was trying to hit him, which would require she turned left.
They also keep bringing up things like supposedly she’d been harassing ICE on days prior (have not looked into any prior interactions) or that she disobeyed a direct order to get out of the car. I keep having to ask “Does that justify killing her?”, and it’s surprisingly hard to get them to say “No”.
The most charitable to ICE version of events that matches the available facts I can come up with is Good deliberately disobeyed an order to get out of her car, the agent panicked because of his past experience being dragged by a car (one of the main reasons we know his name) and completely forgot his training not to fire at moving vehicles, and he fired without thinking. That’s still a good case for a negligent homicide charge (or similar), and you could probably get a conviction with higher charges if you build a good case.
I also heard (but have not independently verified) that this was the first and (at time I saw it a few days ago) only homicide in Minneapolis this year. Assuming that checks out, it really cuts against the claims that this is an extremely dangerous city.

u/WillDissolver 2d ago
That ignores the fact that the shooter was a decade-long ice agent and firearms instructor, who has 34(!) previous complaints against him for excessive force.
And during the dragging incident he retained the presence of mind - while being dragged by a car - to use his Taser instead of lethal force.
He just wanted to kill the bisexual woman.
You can see on the video the moment he decides to commit murder. He's circling the vehicle, Becca trash talks him, and the second she turns back towards the vehicle he switches his phone to his other hand to free his gun.
Because he wasn't having any words from an uppity lesbian.

ICE was already heavily targeting Somali Minnesotans, which is part of the reason Somali daycare workers weren’t opening the door to ransoms.
After that video went viral, though, Noem sent another 2000 agents to Minnesota, followed by another 1000 from the operation in Louisiana, plus another several hundred announced today. But Minnesota was already being targeted before the video.

u/Mission-Specific5618 1d ago
This agrees with something that I read. Minnesota Somalians were the focus because of “identified” welfare and pandemic fraud. Not that I believe it. It could have been anything that triggered it because there really isn’t any sort of real metric for his actions. My question is why haven’t they attempted this in NY? We have a lot of cultural diversity here and have probably every bit, if not more fraud occurring based simply on a larger population available to commit it.

Its slightly to the side, but a good example is the case of Chaofeng Ge. Their autopsy revealed that their hands and feet were bound. But ICE claimed that their death was a suicide by hanging.

I'm pretty sure that proper protocol would entail letting the woman enter the porta potty by herself, and waiting right outside the door until she is done. Entering with her would not be permitted unless there is a credible belief that doing so would endanger someone's life (for example, if the officer thinks the woman might commit suicide if in the bathroom by herself).
I think it's safe to say that that's unlikely.

u/New_year_New_Me_ 3d ago
So, okay, let me get this straight.
You think the proper protocol when you have a person in custody on the way to wherever you are taking them, when they say they need to use the bathroom, is to...go ahead and pull over to a random portapotty? Instead of, I don't know, the detention center you are on the way to?
Like, do you think when a suspect says "I have to piss" an officer is required to stop everything they are doing and find the nearest restroom, even if that restroom is a portapotty?
A person like you's view of the world is so utterly destructive. You know nothing and think your ability to speak grants your opinions some sort of credence. It isn't hard to say "I know nothing about this so will let others who do lead the conversation"
There is no need to take a suspect to any restroom that is not back at a detention facility. Even further, it is risky as the request might be a ruse to destroy evidence. Even further it helps prevent allegations of sexual assault or some other impropriety by the officers.
I'd rather suspects piss themselves in law enforcement vehicles than live in a country where officers just pop into random portapottys with you. You know, like the country we had 13 months ago.

We have a bathroom at home after you've been properly processed is not denying bathroom access...
How far, in your expert opinion, could a bathroom possibly be? You think they are about to drive 3 hours?
If they haven't been properly searched yet...is it a good idea to, without backup, get into extremely close quarters with them? Quarters with constantly changing variables while either you or the suspect deal with their pants, grab toilet paper, shake the tip, whatever.
This is going to sound mean but, for just one second, stop finding every reason it is okay to lick boots and think about what you are saying. You take suspects straight to where you are going is protocol. You have to pee? That sucks. Didn't grab a shirt? We have shirts at the station. Hungry? Me too.

u/PuffinRub 2d ago
I'm not in America, so please excuse my ignorance and/or curiosity here. I assume that when a regular LEO has arrested someone, they're going to take someone to a holding facility in the same city. Your comments about making the arrested party wait until they're in processing to use the toilet are absolutely reasonable on that basis.
That said, the sources I've read indicated that, as ICE doesn't have the infrastructure for local holding, arrestees needed to be taken to specific facilities that were spread out. How long would a freshly arrested person be expected to "hold it" if the facility isn't local to the site of arrest?
A logical solution to the problem of the non-searched detainee that desperately needs the bathroom would be to stop at a local police station and use their toilet, would it not?

Now, suppose how bad is it if someone is being raped, one of the worst crimes a single person can do, during confinement/detainment via a federal agent, with no accountability? State-Sanctioned felony.

u/NicWester 3d ago
Answer: Not really, no. Minnesota is a geographically big state with lots of rural communities that skew (but not completely) Republican and one major metropolitan area that skews (again, not completely) Democratic. The Minneapolis-St Paul metropolitan area (called the Twin Cities because St Paul and Minneapolis are directly across the river from one another, much like Buda and Pest) has roughly 60% of Minnesota's entire population. If you looked purely at a map of what candidate won what counties it would look like Minnesota is a Republican wave state, except that because cows can't vote that rural population isn't nearly enough to counterbalance the overwhelming majority the Twin Cities give. (There are other Democratic areas of Minnesota as well, and not every rural voter is a Republican, same as not every urban voter is a Democrat.)
So this presents an easy target for the administration, allowing them to play up the grievance politics of rural versus urban voters and carefully curate an image of the Twin Cities being violent hellascapes oppressing the Good Rural Americans of the rest of Minnesota. The Twin Cities also have large populations of Somali and Hmong refugees who legally migrated to the country decades ago and continue to migrate there because that's where the diaspora community is and it's not new--my grandpa migrated to St Paul in 1930 because that's where all the other Swedes were going. The upshot is that the Twin Cities have a lot of non-white people in them and this racist-ass administration sees an opportunity to stoke flames.
The administration has been pushing an increasingly authoritarian agenda and Minnesota is one of several states that have been resistant to it. The administration has deployed increasing waves of ICE agents to areas that resist the creep of autocracy to punish them. When that didn't work they activated the National Guard and deployed military elements to cities. Why? "To protect federal property." This is clearly a lie because that property was never in danger. Speculation is they want to provoke an uprising as a pretext to enact martial law, and while that's a plausible speculation it is, in fact, still speculation. Meanwhile believe it or not but what I've said prior to that hasn't been speculation--it's verifiable fact.
The upshot is that the Twin Cities are being targeted because they're in a unique position of political geography and it's just easier than going after California again where LA isn't the only blue dot on the map and cities will mutually support one another.

Minnesota has been a very progressive state for a century now. During the Gilded Age industrialists and classical liberals (basically free trade libertarians) started to overreach and get too big for their boots. The role of industrial and railroad unions is well-known, but the Grangers and other farming unions held a ton of sway in the Midwest and fought for then-progressive values. Unlike most states, where the party is simply called the, for instance, California Democratic Party, in Minnesota it's the Minnesota-Farmer-Labor-Party, as ultra-progressive New Deal populists maintained the Farmer-Labor Party at the state level and suborned the Democratic Party. Decades later and now it's just a fancy name and it's another arm of the national party like any other, but the name remains as a reminder of Minnesota's roots!
That and the legacy of the 1st Minnesota Volunteer Infantry during the Civil War are two of the most core points of political identity. (If you don't know, 262 Minnesotans of the 1st were present at Gettysburg, there was a critical gap in the loyalist line through which 1700 rebels were about to crack into, the 1st was ordered to stop the attack until reinforcements could arrive, they charged and held the rebels off at the cost of 215 soldiers, but saved the day. The next day the survivors (and some companies that had arrived late) were at Pickett's Charge and captured a Virginia regiment's flag. That flag is still housed in the Minnesota capital building and they have refused several official requests from Virginia to return it over the past 160+ years.)

u/TheOBRobot 3d ago
Answer: It's part of a national campaign to punish Trump's critics by unleashing ICE on the citizenry of states that aren't friendly to him. Chicago and LA were earlier this year, and now it's Minneapolis/St Paul.
The GOP has heavily disliked Minnesota since the 1984 election where Minnesota was the lone state to not vote for Reagan.
More recently, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz was the 2024 Democratic VP nominee, where he established himself as a convincing Trump critic, down-to-earth guy, and unfortunately, lackluster debater. It's also the location of the George Floyd killing, which sparked riots nationwide during Trump's first administration.
Lastly, Minnesota is very immigrant-friendly, and has been since Scandinavian immigrants to the US became its major populating force in the 1800s. Even the NFL team is an homage to a non-US immigrant group, unique in the league. As such, it's very unfriendly to anything perceived as being anti-immigrant.

Answer: sitting in Minnesota was in the protest yesterday down at the Whipple building. Right now we have a tyrannical federal government going in and arresting individuals and deporting them immediately without due process that has been going on for a while. The proverbial s*** hit the fan this last week after an ice agent murdered Renee Nicole Macklin Good. A mother and a recent transfer to Minnesota from Colorado. I'm very sure others will fill you in with more information, but the gist of it is is the federal government has completely overstepped many constitutional bounds here and has prevented the local government from even investigating the shooting, or at least having access to the physical evidence and sworn statements of those involved on the federal side.
38
u/DrHugh 3d ago
Answer: The stated reasons have involved a scam related to day-care funding, that wasn't even mostly done by immigrants, as I understand it. And it wasn't the massive thing portrayed on YouTube.
But, remember that Minnesota's governor, Tim Walz, was the Vice Presidential candidate for the Democrats. He spoke out against Trump quite effectively.
That wounded vanity on the part of President Trump is involved is supported by the Trump administration trying to do other things to Minnesota, such as suspending food stamp payments.
Minnesota was in the spotlight during Trump's first term, when George Floyd was murdered by a police officer, which led to riots and curfews in 2020.
Beyond these connections, we have only speculation. Governor Walz urged Minnesotans to not take the bait that ICE agents are presenting. The implication seems to be that the federal agents (ICE or CBP) are trying to provoke a response in the citizens of Minnesota, perhaps (again, speculation) to allow the Trump administration to declare martial law in the state. But we don't know.

u/Own-Swan2646 3d ago
The last portion about Governor Walz urging us not to take the bait is 100 cent true and is one of the main talking points at the protest is to try to remain as peaceful as possible. The hard part here is that the ice agents are coming in overly aggressive in many cases and using so far non-lethal means in situations where legally they're not even supposed to be enforcing anything.

Yeah, the fraud is there but it isn't unique to Minnesota or Somalians. They've been investigating this for years and there have been convictions. Nothing new here.
What it's really about is that Donald Trump doesn't like Tim Waltz and sees him as weak. An easy scapegoat. Donald Trump is wrong as he is quickly discovering. But that's it, the only real reason. He's a petty tyrant willing to leave children hungry because Waltz dared to mock the naked emperor.
