The Spin

Federal authorities are rightfully investigating Minnesota officials who've actively obstructed lawful immigration enforcement operations targeting dangerous criminals. These Democratic leaders have incited chaos and protected illegal immigrants convicted of serious crimes including murder and child sexual abuse, turning their state into a sanctuary for criminals while federal officers work to make communities safer.

The Trump administration is weaponizing the Justice Department to intimidate Minnesota leaders who dare challenge illegal federal actions. Instead of investigating the killing of Renee Good by federal agents, the administration targets officials doing their jobs and protecting constitutional rights while federal officers racially profile citizens and conduct an unprecedented invasion.

THere is a 49% chance that the the US will establish a government program rewarding information leading to deportations before January 3, 2027, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
