1Minneapolis Law Enforcement Shifts to Mass Arrests of Anti-ICE Protesters
Minneapolis police, including sheriffs, conservation officers, and state patrol, conducted mass arrests of nearly 50 anti-ICE protesters outside a federal building. This marks a significant change from previous inaction, which the host attributes to federal pressure and a directive for local law enforcement to 'do their damn jobs' and protect ICE operations.
Multiple arrests just happened right now. They snuck out on people from behind cars while eating pizza. () ...police arrested 50 plus anti-ICE protesters in Minneapolis as they were protesting or rioting at a federal building. ()
2Local Democratic Leadership Blamed for Non-Cooperation and Economic Damage
The host asserts that Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey and Governor Tim Walls, along with other Democrats, are responsible for the ongoing unrest and economic toll on local businesses due to their refusal to cooperate with ICE. This non-cooperation allegedly forced ICE to operate more aggressively in neighborhoods, leading to protests and business struggles described as worse than COVID-19's impact.
You don't have anybody to blame but leadership Jacob Fry and Tim Walls... who refused to cooperate with ICE because if they just cooperated then ICE wouldn't have to go in the neighborhoods... () ...these daily protests are really taking a toll on the local economy, especially small businesses and restaurants... Many saying that this is worse for businesses than even CO was. ()
3Hennepin County's Past Cooperation with ICE Under Obama Administration
The host highlights that Hennepin County Jail previously had a policy allowing an ICE agent to maintain an office and interview immigrants during the Obama administration. This historical cooperation is used to argue that current non-cooperation by Mayor Frey is politically motivated, as the Trump administration is asking for a similar level of collaboration.
It is worth noting that during the Obama years, the Henipin County Jail actually had a policy where they let an ICE agent keep an office there and allowed them to talk to immigrants. So, the policy has clearly been under a Democratic president what now the Trump administration is asking for. ()
4Crow Wing County Sheriff's Model of ICE Cooperation via 287g Agreements
Crow Wing County Sheriff Eric Clang signed two 287g agreements with ICE, enabling his deputies to serve detainee paperwork and assist in ICE operations. Clang emphasizes his commitment to supporting federal partners regardless of 'political winds,' and his department has participated in targeted arrests, which can also result in the apprehension of non-violent undocumented individuals.
Crowing County Sheriff Eric Clang signed two agreements with ICE last year... 'I've been in law enforcement for 30 years and I've always supported our local, state, and federal partners. And I wasn't going to change because of political winds...' () ...if you have a felony warrant against you and you're a target of an ICE operation, you can bet that we're going to be part of that. ()
