***. “Trump is different from all prior presidents in his utter contempt for the Constitution and America’s democracy. Trump has turned the federal government against the American people…” [ J. Michael Luttig; former U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit judge; appointed to the federal bench by President George H.W. Bush in 1991. He wrote this in “PRESIDENT FOR LIFE,” The Atlantic; December, 2025. – BEFORE “Operation Metro Surge” infected Minnesota.]
“What Did Surge Accomplish?”…Minnesota officials, legal experts dispute federal claims that Operation Metro Surge achieve3d its goals here” [Nick Woltman, Mara Gottfried, Frederick Melo; St. Paul pioneer Press; 2/15/26]. Excerpts:
8} “According to the Cato Institute, which reviewed leaked government data, 73% of individuals detained by ICE have no criminal convictions on record, and nearly half had no conviction or pending criminal charges. Only 5% had previously been convicted of a crime of violence.” [The BIG LIE. exposed]
6]. “The offenses on the “Worst of the Worst” website “were a mix of serious and less serious and less severe, such as property damage or violating court orders,” Schnell said. “These are not what most people would consider ‘worst of the worst’ violent felonies, since these crimes are often neither violent nor felonies.” [gotta jack up the numbers!!!!!!]
11] “Will it deter [illegal immigration]? It’s really hard to answer, because they certainly achieved the goal of scaring the hell out of people, and not just people who were undocumented..”
***. “Facts that are not frankly faced have a habit of stabbing us in the back.” [ Sir Harold Bowden ]
1] “What exactly ..[ICE]. came here for has shifted somewhat….The Trump administration’s stated goals…were to investigate allegations of fraud…and “target the worst of the worst”…It soon evolved into a mass deportation operation..”
2] “The roots of Operation metro Surge stretch back to mid-November, when right-wing media outlets claims that Somali immigrants in Minnesota were funneling money from social welfare programs to the terrorist group al-Shabaab….None of these cases was was linked to al-Shabaab.” [one big R-W LIE evolves into a bigger R-W LIE]
3] “The fraud investigations that drew the administration’s attention in Minnesota in the first place now appear hampered by the wave of resignations..” [ the Trump DICTATORSHIP shoots itself in the foot !!!!!!!!!!!!!! ]
4]. “DHS said the operation targeted “criminal illegal aliens” with prior convictions for serious crimes such as sexual assault, domestic violence and gang affiliation….Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty..[said].. “Anyone who has witnessed this occupation in our community, or seen the footage online, knows that none of this has made us safer,”
*** “Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.”
[ Benjamin Franklin; 11/11/1755 ]
5]. “..Minnesota Department of Corrections Commissioner Paul Schnell…said the “Worst of the Worst” website included nearly 70 people who served time in the state’s prisons and were “then transferred over to ICE because of our cooperation……”The clear implication was that these individuals had been on the loose…when in reality these individuals never touched the street…due to our voluntary cooperation..” [another BIG TRUMP LIE]
7] “For legal experts and other legal experts, more questions loom…”Of that 4,000, who knows where all those people are?”…” [So, Trump DICTATORSHIP – tell us who they are, where there are, IF there really are 4,000]
9] “…the Trump administration’s efforts around mass deportation have resulted in more than 18,000 “habeas corpus” challenges in federal court from immigrants claiming their detention is illegal, which is more than were filed under the last three administrations cvombined..”
10]. “The stated goal of Operation PARRIS was to focus on 5,600 refugees awaiting lawful permanent resident status. Rather than simply schedule sit-down interviews, federal agents resorted to armed arrests, removing people from their homes for weeks at a time, often out of state, without a bus ticket or plane ride back to Minnesota.”
[Read this AGAIN – it is ONE example of the monstrous CRUElTY “your’ government is inflicting; in this case, on people living and working in America, following rules, to become U.S. citizens.]
*** “Our government has kept us in a perpetual state of fear – kept us in a continuous stampede of patriotic fervor – with the cry of grave national emergency.” [ General Douglas MacArthur; 1957 ]
