Summary

1. Central Claim of the Narrative

  • Over 10,000 “criminal illegal aliens” have been arrested in Minneapolis alone, with:
    • 3,000 arrests in the past six weeks
    • 70% tied to violent crimes
  • These arrests are attributed to DHS and ICE operations under the Trump administration.

2. Crimes Described

The arrests are said to include individuals accused of:

  • Murder
  • Rape
  • Child sexual offenses
  • Other violent felonies

This is the “worst of the worst” offenders and the arrests are a major public safety victory.


3. Accusations Against Minnesota Leadership:

  • Minnesota Governor Tim Walz
  • Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey

of the following:

  • Failing to protect public safety
  • Undermining federal immigration enforcement
  • Encouraging hostility toward ICE
  • Obstructing law enforcement through public statements

The U.S. Department of Justice is investigating both officials for allegedly impeding federal law enforcement, though it acknowledges:

  • The investigation is in early stages
  • No subpoenas or charges are confirmed

4. Allegations of Massive Financial Fraud

  • At least $19 billion in fraud tied to Minneapolis alone
  • Federal investigators are conducting large‑scale financial investigations
  • Some funds went to terrorist organizations (e.g., Al‑Shabab)

5. This Federal Case also includes:

Ties to the Feeding Our Future organization:

  • Is a real federal investigation in Minnesota
  • Involves approximately $250 million in alleged pandemic-era food program fraud
  • Has resulted in charges against 70 individuals (between 2022–2024)

6. Media Bias Argument

  • CBS and CNN are deliberately misleading the public
  • Journalists are accused of:
    • Lying about arrest numbers
    • Downplaying criminal activity
    • Framing DOJ actions as “intimidation”

I'm not going to flag, but the Face Act has been mentioned as one of the predicates there.
