Operation Metro Surge, an immigration enforcement operation in Minnesota's Twin Cities, began in early December.

Somewhere out there in the great cosmos, Saul Alinsky is cackling with glee over the way Democrats are providing top cover for the commie radicals running roughshod over the rule of law in Minnesota.

Lemon, it should...
