dogcows Posted January 26 Posted January 26 A Republican candidate for MN governor dropped out of the GOP due to the ICE -storm. https://apnews.com/article/minnesota-gop-gubernatorial-candidate-pretti-drops-out-25d959e743b676934219e4effabaf3cc?utm_source=flipboard&utm_medium=activitypub Quote MADISON, Wis. (AP) — A lawyer for the immigration officer who shot and killed Renee Good dropped out of the Minnesota governor race Monday, breaking with many fellow Republicans and calling President Donald Trump’s immigration operation in the state an “unmitigated disaster.” Chris Madel’s surprise move comes amid growing calls from Republicans to investigate federal immigration tactics in Minnesota after a U.S. Border Patrol agent fatally shot Alex Pretti in Minneapolis on Saturday. Madel went a step further than most Republicans in his video, saying that while he supports the goal of deporting “the worst of the worst” from Minnesota, he thinks the Trump administration’s immigration enforcement operation in the Twin Cities has gone too far. “I cannot support the national Republicans’ stated retribution on the citizens of our state,” Madel said. “Nor can I count myself a member of a party that would do so.” Quote

KSB2424 Posted January 29 Posted January 29 I'm not reading 58 pages but how did Minnesota become the refuge, the bastion of all immigration (both legal and illegal)? I get New York and San Francisco....big cities with liberal universities. But Minnesota? Even places like Portland. I live in NC, we have a lot of immigration, both legal and illegal. There was an emphasis and ICE presence here a month or two ago. Local news did run with some anti-ice stories and there was some traction but for the most part they came, picked up the folks they were targeting and were in and out. Probably how it was done under previous administrations both R and D. I'm not from the Midwest, never actually visited. I've been up and down the east coast, Texas to California. Why is Minnesota the Mecca of all of this? This would be a good thesis for a college age kid to deep dive into. 1 Quote

easilyscan Posted January 29 Author Posted January 29 Minnesota has by far the largest population of Somali immigrants and people of Somali ancestry in the United States. Here are the key details regarding the Somali population in Minnesota: Population Size: As of late 2025/early 2026, estimates for the Somali-descent population in Minnesota range between 80,000 and 108,000, with over 41,000 being directly born in Somalia. Concentration: Approximately 44% of all Somali immigrants in the U.S. live in Minnesota. Location: The vast majority reside in the Minneapolis-St. Paul metro area. Other States: Following Minnesota, Ohio and Washington hold the next highest populations of Somali immigrants, with over 10,000 each. The community in Minnesota began growing in the 1990s due to refugee resettlement and has grown to become the largest Somali diaspora in the U.S Quote

It's true. ICE agents are actively working in communities across the United States, not only in Minnesota. While approximately 3,000 officers were recently deployed to the Minneapolis area for intensive immigration operations, this CNN report says, ICE maintains nationwide operations with thousands of officers supporting enforcement, arrests, and removals throughout the country, according to the Department of Homeland Security. Nationwide Presence: ICE agents operate in cities across the US, with a, this BBC article says, recent significant deployment in major cities, including Los Angeles and Chicago. Minnesota Focus: The high concentration of agents in Minnesota is a targeted effort, with around 2,000 to 3,000 agents and officers focusing on the area, as noted in reports from the BBC and CNN https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cp80ljjd5rwo,. General Operations: Despite the specific, large-scale operation in Minnesota, ICE continues its regular enforcement duties across the nation. Agents are not solely concentrated in one state. Quote

This would be a good thesis for a college age kid to deep dive into. 1) MN is not a bastion of illegal immigration, they have a smaller share of illegals than average. In particular about 80-90% of the Somalis there are US citizens. Not sure how it came to be a Somali Mecca though. 2) I live in NC also and agree with your description of what happened here. However despite Minneapolis not being a hotspot for illegals, DHS announced it would be the “largest immigration enforcement operation ever.” I feel strongly that the size and timing of this operation is directly related to Nick Shirley’s video going viral Quote
