The Spin

Republican narrative

Federal law enforcement is doing exactly what voters demanded when they chose law and order over chaos. Democrats continue to lie relentlessly about every detail of the Good shooting to protect criminals who are in the United States illegally, while they demonize ICE agents who risk their lives daily. Minnesota Democratic officials created this dangerous environment by allowing fraud and using reckless rhetoric — leaving the federal government no choice but to intervene.

Democratic narrative

ICE has dangerously flooded Minnesota with more agents than local police combined, conducting militarized door-to-door raids against the wishes of local law enforcement and terrorizing entire neighborhoods. The administration is sending a clear message that armed federal agents can show up anywhere with impunity while Republicans falsely claim absolute immunity that doesn't exist under law. Communities are fighting back because these operations don't make anyone safer.
