We've reached the point in the deportation debate where Democrats like Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey are pretending that they have no idea why a surge in ICE agents is necessary in states (mostly) run by Democrats but not in predominantly red states.
Frey is wondering why there's no ICE surge needed in states like Florida, Texas and Utah:
Brian Allen (@allenanalysis) ~ 🚨 JUST IN: Jacob Frey: If this were about immigration enforcement, ICE wouldn’t be flooding Minneapolis. There are far more undocumented people in Florida, Texas, and Utah.
Why Minnesota? Politics. We have Democratic leadership.
Minneapolis and St. Paul each have ~600 officers. ICE and Border Patrol are now in the thousands, draining local resources, costing millions in overtime, hurting small businesses, and scaring families.
This isn’t public safety. It’s unconstitutional political targeting.

Ah, Frey ... you are unable to figure out the obvious answer because you are dumber than a rock. ROTFLMAO at you!
That was a question that ICE could easily answer.
If Frey wants to know why a surge is necessary in his city he should go look in a mirror:
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (@ICEgov) ~ Q: Why is ICE in Minnesota and not in Florida, Texas, or Utah?
A: ICE has a presence in every state; however, we do not need to surge resources to Florida, Texas, or Utah because, unlike Minnesota, these states work WITH ICE to detain and deport criminal illegal aliens.
Brittany Rae (@legitbrittFLA) ~ Red states don’t use fake sanctuary autonomous zones.
BellaLovesUSA (@Bellamari8mazz) ~ The stupidity! He answered his own question ... they don’t have sanctuary cities!
Amy Curtis (@RantyAmyCurtis) ~ If Democrats honored ICE detainers and let ICE into prisons, this wouldn’t be happening.
It's really that simple. Democrats, with media help, are pretending it's more complicated than that and it definitely isn't.
