Where were you when Biden/Harris were letting unvetted illegals in. Now you buy into this garbage.

Give your buddy "Tampon Tim" a phone call and tell him to take some of what the Somalis' are stealing and give back to the businesses he taxed it from!!!

And then pull your head out.

The Brief

    • Minneapolis officials have provided an estimate on the fiscal impact of Operation Metro Surge, so far totaling at least $203 million.
    • The findings come from voluntary surveys from 82 of nearly 1,300 restaurants, meaning the totals are likely to grow in the following months.
    • "The impact we are seeing as a city will be felt for decades, even generations to come," officials note.

Just from the economic impact.. ICE claims to have detained 4,000.. however, nearly 100% of those who could obtain lawyers were released by judges. As “illegally detained.. per some reports.

This is going to be a Costly venture..

In early 2026, federal judges in Minnesota ordered the release of numerous detainees, with reports indicating nearly all such legal challenges (

60 out of 61 in one review) resulted in orders for release due to unlawful detention, The Seattle Times this YouTube video. Judges criticized ICE for violating nearly 100 court orders regarding detention conditions and due process during Operation Metro Surge, this NPR article. 

  • Judicial Action: Federal judges, including Chief Judge Patrick Schiltz, criticized the administration for ignoring court orders and violating constitutional rights.
  • Case Success Rate: A review of 61 cases between January 20–27, 2026, showed that immigrants won in 60 cases, with judges ordering their release, this YouTube video.
  • ICE Defiance: Judges reported that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) violated nearly 100 court orders in January 2026 alone, with some detainees being flown to Texas instead of being released in Minnesota, this New York Times article.
  • Conditions: Judges described conditions at the Whipple Federal Building as "inhumane" and violating due process, leading to orders to immediately release detainees.
