If the Left wanted the ICE raids in Minnesota to end tomorrow, there is a very simple way that could happen. Their police and sheriff could cooperate with ICE and turn over illegals. They could go with ICE to arrest those who are in the country with deportation orders. It would end all of the early morning raids and marching extraneous people out to SUVs and all the extra noise. They won't do that so that is why these games continue.
Can someone please explain to me, like I am a child, what Minnesotans have done to deserve a military occupation like this?

I’ll wait. https://t.co/FYMaLntTfL
Sure thing, Bill. Well, it goes like this. This is the UNITED States of America. That means we are a whole bunch of states each with their own laws, BUT, there are some issues handled at the federal level. One of those responsibilities is immigration.
Why you might ask? Once a person is in the United States, legally or illegally, it's pretty easy for them to travel state to state. We don't have state line checks and we don't require passports to travel around the United States. So, in order to protect ALL the states, we follow one set of immigration laws.
Minnesota decided they don't want to follow those laws and illegals could go there to hide from ICE. ICE and the Trump Administration asked Minnesota to stop that. They refused so ICE has to come get illegals themselves. Certain states can't decide to follow or not follow federal law at their will. One of those illegals Minnesota is harboring could decide to get in their car and drive to Florida and kill my whole family and people in Florida don't like that prospect. Sorry.
If you really wanted people to explain this to you, why'd you turn off your replies?

And it's simple, really. In most states where law enforcement works with ICE, they just show up at the precincts and receive those with deportation orders. Blue states, which need the illegals… https://t.co/y7EXir4vj4
Oh yes! My boss makes another good point. Blue states import and protect illegals because they can be counted in the Census towards how many Representative a state will get in the House. That gives them more power. That's not fair.

It’s almost as if he doesn’t want to hear the truth, only confirmation of his opinion https://t.co/xV5ZCfl2AP pic.twitter.com/pMmaOVu17A
This is the problem with Leftists. They really don't want to know the truth. They just want to stomp their feet and pretend the blue states are being mistreated because Trump is a big meanie!
Invade churches to accost fellow citizens seems like a reasonable red line to me on top of the fraud, cover up for fraud, obstruction of law enforcement against violent criminals including child sex crimes offenders. https://t.co/rm5wrIaQO3 pic.twitter.com/7uxrNmL5Jb

As for his question, harassing churches violates federal law
Interfering with federal agents enforcing federal law violates federal law
If Minnesotans weren’t violating federal laws at scale, this wouldn’t be necessary. https://t.co/GQ2oW7Dchr pic.twitter.com/sHom8a2Sk5
He doesn't want an answer. It's easier to rant about Trump and pretend he's a dictator and Americans are oppressed. What is ACTUAL oppression is allowing illegals to drive down wages, force insurers to charge all Americans more money because they drive without licenses and insurance and gobble up the healthcare, education and police resources while paying no taxes. A country must have borders and laws. No matter how much Leftists hate it, that is reality. Deal with it.
