🇺🇸 ICE CRACKDOWN IN MINNESOTA: OVER 500 ARRESTS TO START 2026

A sweeping immigration enforcement campaign is underway in Minnesota as part of "Operation Metro Surge," with ICE arresting hundreds of undocumented individuals across the state.

More than 500 arrests have already been made in early January, targeting people with prior deportation orders, fraud ties, or criminal records.

Arrests have been confirmed at sites including a Hennepin County building in Minnetonka and a construction site in Chanhassen, with particular focus on Somali communities.

Analysts say 2026 could break last year’s record for deportations under Trump’s immigration policies.

The air bridge necessary to clean out the Somalians is going to be insane. USAF better bring back the C-140s in storage at Davis-Mothan.

This is the way. Expose the corruption first. Then, deport the criminals immediately thereafter. Keep the pressure on the activist Left to respond at a dozen places at the same time.

And people say Bondi and Patel are doing nothing!
Remember DOJ lost 50% of its legal staff due to suggested retirement and “I won’t work for Trump” attitudes. Similar the FBI.

Wait until you get to California and other Blue states. The Scamolians will look small in number and amateurish.
