Message and a story, shared with me this morning from an anonymous DHS patriot on the ground in MPLS right now:
“It is about negative 20 in Minneapolis right now. Negative 31 with windchill.
I was leaving the building we are all holed up in. I think we’ve stacked close to 2,000 people in a building designed for 500.
I ran into a grunt officer who’s been sent here from Miami. He clearly had just got back from an operation. Dude looked absolutely exhausted.
We talk a little shit about how bad the weather sucks, how tired everyone is from the op tempo.
We get outside, I ask him point blank how he feels about risking his life going up against arctic temperatures, criminals, rioters, etc.
He stops, looks at me, and says “doesn’t matter. We do the job.” Then he walks off and jumps in a car to get on ANOTHER target.
No less than 10 seconds later, one of the garage doors where teams are staging at opens, and about 15-25 guys roll out in full kit and hop in cars for a different target set.
Guys are risking it all in -40 temperatures to grab foreign invaders, getting attacked by the very same countrymen they are trying to protect, with an entire city mobilized against them.
They don’t even think of stopping for one second. They don’t eat, they barely sleep, they survive on nicotine and black coffee and the occasional MRE. Not one of the dozens if not hundreds of men I’ve talked to even thinks of quitting.
Everyone, even senior leadership, is out there right now. There’s equivalent of general officers are out there on the ground making arrests and fighting through protestors alongside their guys.
I’ve never seen commitment like this before. These men are genuine heroes. Homeric. They’re putting it all on the line every second of every day. They know that the political winds can shift and that all of the work and sacrifices and dangers could be for nothing. They even know they’ll probably face serious retribution for doing the right thing. But they don’t care, they’re still getting after it.
Please, keep these men (and women) in your prayers. They’re a force of 20,000 going up against 20 million. Do everything you can to support them. Donate to their charities, go fund me pages that stuff. Call in fake ICE locations on the trackers to distract the protestors, tell everyone you know about the good work these guys are doing. If you can help ICE and CBP in any small way, do it.
Thank you and Godspeed!”
Mr. Hinderaker believes it is credible.
Many of the comments on X are asking how we can send support to the ICE teams in Minneapolis, how we can get them hot meals, hot coffee, hot chocolate, etc. Some commenters posted to POTUS and ELON MUSK. It would be wonderful if ICE provided information on how to support them.
A lot of the comments are by veterans who note that the tempo of the operation is what they experienced in the military.
God bless and protect them all !!!!
You have to remember that many DFL MinneSomalians are A-OK with rigged elections.
They are NOT our countrymen.
Forty below zero wind chill....
Minnesotan wokesters and Somalians would worry about brain freeze like in Dumb and Dumber, if they had brains.
He encouraged illegals. What a dirty S.O.B.
RE: They are NOT our countrymen.
Ilhan Omar has said I will always do what is best for the interests of my country, Somalia.
They are o.k. with elections being rigged in Democrat’s favor. They never were our Countrymen. Or to put it another way, they are my Countrymen and never have been. You can have aa of them you want. But since the Politicians in D.C. don’t give a damn or care what I think or sat, it doesn’t matter. Does it?
I hate myself for supporting him
😕
Yup. Jeb was no better.
Please clap
Excellent post.
Great to see.
ILLEGAL? Get Out!
God Bless and protect those involved in ferreting out these scumbag illegals.
As to those who “protest” ICE actions...Consider leaving this country that you loathe.
I knew Jeb, even before he was Governor. Over the years, he became increasingly smug and insular. As governor, Jeb was a success, but his administration tended to prize loyalty over competence or honesty. This resulted in a number of scandals.
Another and actually correct way of stating that fact is “Minnesota is not America”
By declaring Minnesota to be a sanctuary and abrogating federal law, Minnesota citizens have effectively resigned from the Union
Jeb was a spoiled rich kid—unsuited for difficult challenges requiring character and courage.
They even know they’ll probably face serious retribution for doing the right thing.“
Isn’t that the truth. They know if the rats get back in they will try to go after them but they still go out there. These guys are actual heroes
You were like most of us. Even Rush constantly defended W. We didn’t know what treasonous POS he really was.
Yup. That nails it.
Reports out of Mpls that ICE ‘followers,’ aka stalkers, are asking agents for their ‘papers’ and claiming they’d ran their plates, coming back 10% ICE. Charge them with impersonating cops!
Still feel like a damn fool
😕
