With two very different philosophies and two very different outcomes depsite nearly equal ICE enforcement stats

In 2025, Florida saw a massive surge in immigration enforcement, with over 10,000 to 10,818 arrests reported between January and mid-2025
. A major, ongoing state-federal initiative, Operation Tidal Wave, resulted in over 10,400 arrests of "illegal aliens" from May to early 2026, marking a significant increase in local-federal partnerships.

As of late January 2026, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) officials reported that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has arrested over
10,000 "criminal illegal aliens" in Minnesota since the start of the current presidential administration, with 3,000 of those arrests occurring in the roughly six weeks prior to January 20, 2026


in both situations there were roughly the same amount of enforcement actions

But the difference is: In Florida we allow ICE to enter the jails and grab the worst of the worst. We don't protect them, we don't cry for them and we certainly do not fight for them

and you know how many citizen fatalities and/or injuries we have to date? ZERO



So tell me again how ICE is the problem?

ICE can't enter Minnesota jails???

Nope.

There have been situations where an illegal alien was arrested and would have remained in jail for months or even years but because ICE issued a detain order to the jail the state released that person into the public rather than surrender them to ICE

Unfucking believable. I thought what was happening is that local and state police were not cooperating with ICE.

Yep. 100% no exaggeration

President Trump should tell all the illegals that he will give them citizenship if they vote Republican and see how fast Democrats want them out of the country.

That is actually a brilliant suggestion.

Watch the Dems do the fastest 180 you have ever seen.

Let's be clear. Mr. Walz is the leader of a violent insurrection.

And these animals are wondering why agitators are being shot?

Listen to the exhaustion in that ICE agent's voice


How much sleep do you think these guys are getting each night under these circumstances and what do you think that does to their judgement in snap situations?

the stuff these leftist cockroach politicians don't consider
