I think it’s safe to say that Trump 2.0’s immigration enforcement operations have once and for all exposed the radical left’s America-Last priorities, with Minnesota being the current Ground Zero in the battle for the heart, soul, and future of America.

The reports are fast and flowing in terms of what ICE and the border patrol have to go through on any given day as they seek to take criminal illegal immigrants off of our streets, with organized mobs and their sophisticated communication systems out in full force to impede the mission, goad the officers into viral confrontations, and to help the worst-of-the-worst evade justice – leaving the door wide open to future potential victimization of more innocent people.

Here’s one of many examples:

NOW: "We do NOT support ICE, get off of our property" – Commander Bovino and CBP Agents are refused entry to Minneapolis Speedway gas station

The same agents who put their lives on the line every day also face assaults and doxxing, and are even being denied service by some businesses over alleged “safety concerns.”

NEW: I’m told multiple ICE agents with rooms booked at the St. Paul Downtown Doubletree by Hilton received this notice today that their rooms are being cancelled & the hotel will temporarily close “due to heightened public safety concerns in St. Paul.”

As Legal Insurrection reported over the weekend, agitators have now taken it to a disgusting new level, invading a St. Paul church and scaring children and other peaceful congregants during Sunday services because they believed a pastor there had ties to ICE.

For anyone who missed that video clip, watch:

BREAKING – Anti ICE agitators, led by failed CNN host Don Lemon, stormed a Minneapolis church this morning, halting services and holding members hostage because they believed the pastor was ICE affiliated.

As we’ve watched this all play out over the last several months, predominantly in blue cities and states across the country, many patriotic Americans have grown increasingly frustrated, feeling like the wheels of justice are turning too slowly.

That appears to be where the Blue Lives Matter group is at. On Tuesday, the group revealed a pro-ICE decoy operation they say is comprised of “combat veterans, off-duty officers,” a group designed to head the anti-ICE contingent off at the pass so actual agents can do the work they are supposed to:

We’re not saying that Blue Lives Matter was behind feeding false information to far-left, anti-ICE protestors.

We’re not saying we had teams comprised of HUNDREDS of off-duty cops and veterans volunteer to run decoy operations so far-left activists THOUGHT they were conducting ICE raids.

We’re not saying they were in fact they were just driving around in what appeared to be unmarked vehicles with tinted windows… drinking coffee and listening to Guns and Roses…. being chased down and surrounded by protestors.

What we ARE saying is that if it DID happen…. it sure worked remarkably well in NINE DIFFERENT STATES, allowing ACTUAL raids to successfully take place unimpeded, helping support the capture of HUNDREDS of criminals.

Combat veterans, off-duty officers and patriotic Americans have had enough of the radical left… and are being activated across the country to back our #lawenforcement. And they’re smarter…more skilled… more driven… better trained than the left … and actually enjoy sitting in a deer stand for days on end just waiting.

@DHSgov @ICEgov we’ve got you.

They explained more in a subsequent X post:

STOP what you’re doing and buckle up. We warned you that we were just getting this party started.

-We’re estimating that well over 100,000 false reports about the whereabouts of ICE have flooded the “report ICE hotlines” that are meant to help far-left protestors impede ICE operations.

-We’re not saying we had anything to do with it, but we heard through the grapevine that more than 100 teams of veterans and off-duty officers have been “accidentally mistaken” as ICE by protestors… who then followed them DIRECTLY away from where ICE operations were able to take place. 🤣🤡

-We totally have nothing to do at all with ICE protestors showing up at the homes of ICE protestors to protest ICE… and then mass confusion following.

It’s so easy to cause mass chaos among these Communists when their collective IQ is lower than a box of french fries.

@DHSgov @ICEgov @Sec_Noem @RealTomHoman @CBP @BorderPatrolHQ we’ve got your six.

And, there’s even more. Click on the post to see the full details:

GAME ON, AMERICA! It's time to expand our operations across America. We've compiled a list of "ICE Activity Reporting" hotlines for organizations across the country asking for people to report ICE activity… so they can deploy protestors to impede law enforcement operations.… pic.twitter.com/ilPBnrQMdb

Obviously, these decoy operations can get (and likely already have gotten) quite chippy. Please pray for those unofficially involved in assisting immigration enforcement agents on the down low, that no one gets hurt.

In a completely unrelated note, this month marks seven years for me with LI. I continue to be immeasureably grateful to Prof. Jacobson for the opportunity, am so honored to work alongside such an incredible team, and feel so blessed to be embraced by this community. Thank you.

The whole episode in Minnesota is becoming something of a psychodrama.

If it’s working.... don’t reveal it...unless there is a newer strategy..
What I thought they should do anyway...but now I would arrest the unlawful protesters and have them reveal who pays them and how, and arrest the paymasters on RICO charges.

While driving recently I noticed there’s a lot of ICE around. Should be reported. Nearly every bridge has a sign
