Jacob Frey: "Right now we have about 600 police officers, and they've got 3,000 or so ICE agents and Border Patrol. They're now talking about deploying 1,500 military? This is ridiculous, but we will not be intimidated by the actions of this federal government."

Pew Research Institute (2023):

• Red State Texas has about 2.1 million undocumented immigrants

• Red State Florida has 1.6 M undocumented immigrants

• Blue State Minnesota has 130,000.

And yet only Minnesota is being occupied by masked thugs over "immigration."
