Even as Homeland Security and other law enforcement remain in Minnesota enforcing federal immigration law, Democrats from across the nation have followed their every move, interfering and committing crimes nearly everywhere they go, all in the hopes of keeping heinous criminals in their communities.  Democrats, while engorging themselves with billions from fraudulent programs, have resorted to the lowest of tactics, including physical violence, doxing, harassing and injuring officers and citizens they believe support ICE, disturbing the peace, property damage, trespassing and vile language, and even stooping to terrorizing church-goers as they seemingly abandon their jobs, families and what little sanity they maintain all in blind service to those who would likely never lift a finger if their roles were reversed.  This has landed numerous of these troubled individuals behind bars, charged with serious crimes.
