During the civil rights era, local officials defied the federal government to the point of coordinating with the Klan and ensuring that local law enforcement looked the other way as hideous crimes were committed.
They were defending their values, you see.
The same thing is happening right here in Minnesota. Our politicians and elements within our criminal justice system are coordinating with criminals to disrupt federal law enforcement officers doing their jobs, create chaos and even violence around them, and, when the officers are at their most vulnerable, to abandon them to the mob.
That is not a hyperbolic comparison, although no doubt many people would deny the comparison. But that denial is not based on the reality of what is happening, but rather on their opinion that the segregationists were evil and the anti-ICE people are good. In other words, it is not the lawlessness to which they object, but rather who gets to be lawless.
Everybody’s eyes are on the Twin Cities because this is ground zero for the chaos and violence, but few think about WHY that is the case. By far the most deportations are taking place in southern states, but there is no chaos, violence, or even deaths. That is because federal, state, and local officials work together to ensure that there aren’t any. The public is kept safe because public safety is the goal of everybody involved.
I am horrified. I cannot believe it.

I analyzed public databases and media reporting on violent confrontations with ICE over the past year.
Just 9 counties accounted for TWO-THIRDS of violent confrontations with ICE in America.
This is twice all violent confrontations in the remaining 3,134 counties COMBINED.
A violent confrontation in these 9 counties was 590 TIMES more likely than any of these other 3,134 counties.
590 times.
I plotted these 9 counties, and I found that all 9 counties are sanctuary jurisdictions run by Democrat politicians that resist immigration law enforcement.
These violent confrontations are RARE in states and cities where local officials cooperate with law enforcement.
Here in Minnesota, state and local officials, from the governor down to the mayors and city councilors, are directly coordinating with the Black Bloc instigators to amp up the violence, and when the violence erupts, the police chiefs order their officers AWAY to allow the rioters to attack the federal agents. They incite violence, threaten federal officials with illegal prosecutions, and alert the rioters where to go.
THIS is the great hidden story of the day.
The person coordinating MN’s giant, hidden, pro-illegal Signal network was like Walz #3 strategist. https://t.co/vv1aoBd2tc

Governor Walz’s political operatives administer Signal chats, directing the rioters and telling them to “put their bodies on the line” to “defend their neighbors.”
Peggy Flanagan is in a Signal group chat doxxing federal agents.
Not shocking.
Here’s a video I made last week showing how half of her town hall walked out to impede federal law enforcement, and how she encouraged others to do the same.
This is the network she helped set up. pic.twitter.com/KpQVztxeAq

Every single ICE and Border Patrol operation has been aimed at picking up an accused or convicted felon, many of whom have abused children. Yes, others have been picked up in the midst of the operations, but there are no immigration sweeps—officers with warrants are executing them, and when other illegal aliens are caught as they do so, they are arrested as well. But that is only happening because local officials will not turn over arrestees in jail. The reason why these felons are on the streets in the first place is that local officials let them onto the streets.
Must-see video: Cam Higby’s infiltration uncovers 200+ in MN anti-ICE chat, including deaths from pursuits & law enforcement leaks.

The organized agitators who are working with local officials get tipped off to where ICE operations are going on, or to where federal officials are staying, and things like this happen:

Minneapolis police are letting rioters tear up a Hilton Hotel for having ICE agents

And what do the local police do when this happens? Watch:
BREAKING🚨: St. Paul Police literally TURNED AROUND and drove off, letting an anti-ICE mob storm a Hilton where ICE agents were believed to be staying.
Law enforcement stands down while the chaos unfolds? Ladies and Gentlemen only in democrat led cities will you see this…… pic.twitter.com/U4DB1VLGgz

Yes, that’s right. The local police turn them over to the modern variant of the KKK, the Black Bloc rioters. They are organized, include local officials, and they are attacking federal agents to force them to quit enforcing federal law because they don’t like the laws.
Sound familiar?
Enough. Send the army to Minnesota.

“Where’s the local PD?” It’s a good question, and we all know the answer. A mob attacks a local hotel, trashes it, attacks federal law enforcement officers, and apparently injures some, and the locals are nowhere to be found because they refused to do their jobs.
The anti-ice “protestors” are now blocking ambulances trying to get to people having a possible heart attack.
That’s after vandalizing a hotel because they suspected ICE agents were staying there.
Local police nowhere to be found. https://t.co/zKcGzhXfYX

Minneapolis’s Chief of Police has already said that it is irrelevant whether the officers involved in the fatal shootings were justified. His position, along with the mayor and the governor, is that federal agents are not welcome and presumptively guilty. The governor has called ICE the “Gestapo” and “executioners,” and intends to prosecute them for doing their jobs.
Outrageous, here’s the clip 👇https://t.co/EFYMUKOa9T

They say they are doing this to protect ‘Minnesota Values,’ as if Minnesota is not part of the United States and is not subject to federal law. It is the same as “Segregation now, segregation tomorrow, and segregation forever.”
