I’ll agree that this is probably not the hottest immigration spot.  It may be a preliminary plan to root out corruption all the way to the Gov mansion.  They’re over the target.  They’re not going anywhere

Alternatively, they're rounding up illegals across the country and the only reason people are focused on Minnesota is the protesting and the violence.  I mean, do people really think we don't have ICE/BP working in other cities/states?

The wokies are only focused on the marching orders.

Well, he just exposed it. Billions of dollars of Somalian fraud sounds like a problem to me

They’ve definitely had more personnel (and usually Bovino) in the places that they’ve given operation names to.  LA, Chicago, Charlotte, Minneapolis, New Orleans, not sure if I’m missing any.

Also, they said they’d leave if Minnesota gave them their voter database.

MAGA fans are so dependent on RW media to tell them what to think that they constantly accuse others of the same thing.

No, what you’re experiencing is people who think for themselves and therefore don’t agree with the party line you are constantly parroting. When I see something mentioned by MAGA fans here, I check r/conservative or Fox News or recent GOP statements… and I find the same stuff, often word for word.

You don't know this.  I don't either.  They don't publish their staffing allocations.  Don't make things up.

15% of all ice agents are in Minneapolis right now.  That's insane.  That's why you're seeing this.  We've seen protests and incidents all over the country for a year now.

Quote

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Department of Homeland Security said Tuesday that it launched what it described as the largest immigration enforcement operation ever carried out by the agency — with 2,000 federal agents and officers expected in the Minneapolis area for a crackdown tied in part to allegations of fraud involving Somali residents.

“The largest DHS operation ever is happening right now in Minnesota,” the department said in a post on X, dramatically expanding the federal law enforcement footprint in the state amid heightened political and community tensions. 

The government planned to send about 2,000 Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents and officers to Minnesota, according to a U.S. official and a person briefed on the matter. The agents are expected to be dispatched in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area, the person said. The people were not authorized to publicly discuss operational details and spoke with The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity.

Unless you think DHS is lying. And based on their recent record, I don’t blame you for that.

They kinda do, as @dogcows noted.  They also gave Charlotte officials notice before they arrived there as well - https://spectrumlocalnews.com/nc/charlotte/news/2025/11/13/border-patrol-heads-to-charlotte

Comparison to Current Surges

If you are following the news in your home state or the surrounding region, it's worth noting the scale difference:

Operation Midway (Chicago): Hundreds of agents.  

Operation Metro Surge (Minneapolis): Approximately 3,000 federal agents (nearly 5 times the size of the Midway deployment).

Over 2,000 federal agents in MSP

- 81K illegal Amiens estimated in the whole state of MN.

Over a million in Texas, why aren’t they there? I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again if needed: this ICE show has NOTHING to do with enforcing immigration law. Announcing the surge ahead of time gave the dangerous criminals time to get out of Dodge. That’s why they are arresting legal immigrants, children, and murdering citizens in the streets.

Timhauck - I demand a link from a source other than DHS because they’re liars.

Also TimHauck - It’s okay to use DHS as a source if it fits my narrative.

In this case, the DHS source and the media sources on the ground agree. That’s how you verify facts. Or you could just blindly believe one “side” I guess.

Lol, them stating how many agents they’re bringing to a city isn’t really a “narrative.”  And there were other sources that confirmed the number, including the Minneapolis Police Chief.  I also live in the Charlotte area and witnessed the increase in personnel here with my own eyes.  And as previously posted the police chief here also confirmed the increase in DHS personnel during “Operation Charlotte’s Web.”

HTH.  Nice gotcha attempt, better luck next time.

You should call yourself out for being a hypocrite.

Driving back from Grand Lake I passed through Fraser Colorado around 4:30.  My truck thermometer read 9 degrees.  It was snowing hard.  The Bronco game had just ended.  At a signal light controlled intersection there were maybe 12 to 15 persons standing on each of the four corners hold signs reading ICE Out! We Stand with Minnesota, and Fu(k Trump.

Gotta give the prez credit. He has brought America together… against him.

I went shooting today.  Prior to getting there I saw a moose, a herd of buffalo(captive), a herd of Big Horn Sheep, a coyote and several tourists stuck in snow banks.  I watched the Bronocs lose and then drove home fascinated by seeing ICE protestors out in the cold.  Not a bad way to spend a day.  Some choose to spend the day in here.
