What happened in Minneapolis this week isn’t just a law enforcement operation—it’s a flashpoint in a battle that’s been brewing for years between those who believe in law and order and those who are trying to undermine it with ideological tantrums.
How cringe. Tim Walz just called ICE the “modern day Gestapo.”
“Trump’s modern day Gestapo is scooping folks up. They’re in unmarked vans, masks, being shipped off to foreign torture dungeons. Not even a chance to kiss loved ones goodbye.“

Federal and local agents moved in on Las Cuatro Milpas, a Mexican restaurant in south Minneapolis, executing a criminal search warrant tied to drug smuggling and human trafficking. Not a routine case, and not a “paperwork issue.” This was a coordinated operation targeting serious criminal networks.
But the response? Chaos. Local leftists turned up, ready for a street fight, angry not about the alleged crimes, but about what they thought this raid represented: immigration enforcement.
As always, facts took a backseat to narrative.

All of this in spite of Minneapolis being a Sanctuary City.

City officials, desperate to keep the peace, immediately insisted that this was not an immigration raid. Mayor Jacob Frey jumped on Facebook to calm nerves, stating no arrests were made and that the warrant was strictly about criminal activity. But a statement from ICE told a deeper story.
Spokeswoman Erin K. Bultje called it a “groundbreaking criminal operation” tackling drug smuggling and labor trafficking—highlighting the layered, dangerous nature of the threats being addressed.
Despite this, the reaction from local activists was swift and feral. Pepper spray was deployed to control the crowd. Tensions exploded because the Left has spent years demonizing the people sworn to uphold our laws. Federal agents—called fascists, stormtroopers, and worse—are now seen by some as the enemy.

It’s a dangerous message that goes far beyond rhetoric. And when the Left tells its supporters that enforcing immigration law is the equivalent of tyranny, it’s not hard to see how people end up throwing fists in the street or worse.
Let’s be clear: this wasn’t about someone forgetting to renew a visa. This was about human trafficking. Drug pipelines. Money laundering. Serious, organized crime. And yet, some would rather turn Minneapolis into a sanctuary for criminal networks than admit that enforcement is necessary.
