Let’s say 50% of the reason is because Trump hates Watz and the other half is because Minneapolis is an unapologetic sanctuary city and Trump believes by targeting these cities,it might give other cities reason to pause their proclamation of sanctuary.  Assuming that’s true, does it make a little more sense to target Minneapolis?

Maybe, but not much. My three original reasons stand. Trump hates Watz and let’s not forget about that idiot mayor.. Minneapolis allowed part of the city to burn, which just irritated a whole bunch of people in the Trump administration and it loudly and proudly proclaims itself a sanctuary city.

Let's talk about this, as it pertains to ICE's mission.

Nick Shirley posted his Youtube video on December 26, 2025.

ICE operations commenced in Minneapolis on January 6 and had their 2000 to 2400 agents active by mid January.

In his viral video, Shirley had alleged fraud at various day care centers, based on things like observing there were no cars in the parking lot 3 hours before the facility opened, and also published the $ numbers of the financial aid that various day cares received  from public sources.

Nick Shirley is a Youtube content creator, from Utah, who started out with prank and stunt videos, like disrupting celebrity weddings, then spent some time as a Mormon missionary, and most recently has focused on producing right wing biased Youtube content.  He has a high school degree from Farmington High School in Utah and no journalistic qualifications.

When investigated by local TV stations and other entities, no signs of fraud were found.

I think that the targeted facilities were owned by Somalian immigrants, but nobody has proven, or perhaps even alleged, that any of these people were ILLEGAL immigrants.

Certainly fraud is a bad thing, and a drag on society, and should be eliminated, but how is it any concern of ICE or Border Patrol to enforce laws concerning fraud?  What does ICE or CBP have to do with this alleged fraud, even if it were proven to be factual, which it has not?

Shouldn't these agencies be first demonstrating involvement of illegal aliens, then arresting those individuals for violation of the immigration laws they have jurisdiction over, and leave the fraud investigation and enforcement to those agencies that have valid jurisdiction over those areas?

In a world run by rational adults, allegations would turn into investigations, investigations would become charges, charges would become convictions.  Now, we apparently don't need any of that, we can go straight from a high school kid making a Youtube video, to secret police being rushed into an area.

So Nick Shirley has no journalistic qualifications like the ones who kept  the Russiagate hoax alive, refused to acknowledge what everyone knew which was that was Hunter’s laptop, and my personal favorite which is presenting the more extreme possibilities of global warming as if they’re inevitable (and those are just a few) You mean like those people? Those professionals whom I’m sure were able to set aside their personal biases this one time…

It’s far more likely his story is closer to the truth. Let’s just wait this one out and see.

And you have 'STILL"
       NOT Explained
Numerous questions asked of you.

  (Just cry Wolf !)

"...   I can't imagine a daycare anywhere would let random men show up and film kids.  ..."

Don't think that would happen anywhere.

Yet the FACT, their were no foot prints, no cars coming and going, no teachers/care people seen, no sighting of kids, for YEARS !

     (Oh yea, Just cry WOLF)

Absolutely NOT. DOGE is LIARS, working for a LIAR, who was friends with the most documented LIAR in history. Trumpedo's goal is the destruction of the US. If you don't see that, you're either stupid AF, or you're just as evil and as bad as the pedophiles you support. The whole MN fiasco is a test case to see if Trumpedo can still get away with anything he wants. It's illegal AF, against everything the Constitution DEMANDS of government, and will result in Trumpedo's people going to jail. HE won't--- he's going to die before his stint is up. It's already up; you fools just can't see it.

Y'all still haven't explained how "billions" were stolen right under DOGE's audit noses without being discovered.

 You said they are incompetent.  They can't be incompetent and also competent.  This is an opinion.

You dismissed his efforts by denigrating his history including his Mormon background and you want to accept your condescending review of the points  I made.

Let’s return to this in a few months and judge who’s investigations are more accurate, his or the above reproach professional journalists. That’s assuming these professionals take up the challenge.

And citing “official” investigations having originated in a partisan DOJ isn’t exactly making the point you think it is.m
