The ICE surge in Minnesota cost $280M to detain 4k people. Of those- only 30 were accused of violent crimes. $9 million per capture of the "worst of the worst". Renee Good and Alex Pretti were unavailable for comment….

Every police officer in a large metropolitan area, knows where the criminals live. They know who should be deported, but just want the streets to be quiet instead of gang warfare for dominance. ICE agents have lists of violent criminals that could be deported but want easy prey to meet bonus quotas.

The worst, no? I pray something happens so we can remove Trump & his gang of evil goons from office. I'm not sure there's anything that could be worse than the things he's already done/is doing. If there is something catastrophic in the Epstein files about Trump, I don't think we'll ever see it. :(

Pedolf wanted a violent response & wasn't prepared for peaceful protests... credit the folks of Minn. who did not fall for this bait... If reaction was violent he could have enacted "Martial Law" which may have led to larger violent response & nationwide lockdowns... Prepping for the midterms..

A three-ring circus doesn't cost that much, oh, wait a minute, I lied. What they put on was a three-ring circus, except at least two people were murdered and all those kidnappees and many protesters were traumatized for life. Oh, and don't forget the monetary cost to Minneapolis!

Clear how Trump bankrupted casinos. No one in their right mind could see this as a sustainable "business model" or functional government agency. Republicans have lost their right to claim fiscal responsibility.

"Republicans have lost their right to claim fiscal responsibility." Yeah, they lost that in 1981 when they dreamed up the "trickle down" scam and began the long slide of deficit spending.

I’ve seen this is exact comment circulating. There is no source that I’ve been able to find to confirm what is stated. I’m not sure why it’s circulating bc people are already pissed off. So, not sure why the bots are pushing this.

The perfect metric-- a total waste of time, money, and of course-- basic human decency... for the devoted magats, there's no price to high for their own delighted frothy reactions and 'they all had it coming!!' poses. Disgraceful reaches a new level, thanks to the GOP.

Well, did they ever go get the illegal immigrants that are in the prisons in Minnesota that governor waltz said to come get

'Do you have any of the figures on how ice fomented protests have damaged the property in the state?' There FTFY. Had ice not been violating our Constitution, there would have been no need for the protests that ice escalated by assaulting and murdering peaceful protesters. Get back to x. Go on, git

The Epstein administration thanks you for your attention to this matter and would like to point out there will be more of this shit coming to a state near you!

I live just outide Minneapolis. Believe it or not, there are people on our Nextdoor chat how crime has been way down thanks to ice. Mostly boomers who also guote bible passages at us sometimes

It’s alway about how much they can take. It’s easy to see differences in their bills put forward as to which benefit districts represented and which benefit donors. The donors do nothing but take from programs benefiting the tax payer. We’re a slush fund by way of republican

You have a computer in your hand you can look it up and find out in a few seconds if there is a legit source. If you aren’t looking up random facts on the internet before believing them then you need to start.

I can look it up sure but it already has 10K likes and very few ppl will do that. Whoever is making the claim and posting it should really share the source. Otherwise on principle, we r the same as maga, q anon and all the rest.

Good to google; AI summaries like this are good for general info but not for stats, esp. recent ones. It often scrapes from socials like this, so that’s unreliable; the links beneath are a blog and homeland sec? Idk abt reliability of either. Finding a real souce & multiple of them is VIP still.

We’re lucky to still have sources like AP, Forbes, PBS, Reuters, Bloomberg, CBC, BBC, Al Jazeera etc available. Clearly a main goal of #Project2025 Trump’s Reich is to erode their independence, eg WaPo & CBS. #RememberKhashoggi, and support #StephenColbert #JimmyKimmel #SethMeyers 1/2

Your tax dollars at work folks! As a bonus you get cruelty & barbarism like we've never seen in America before! The main responsibility for this disgraceful attack on democracy rests with just one person! That's the loathsome prick who is currently stinking up our White House, Donald Hitler Trump!

... The whole thing .. Right back to WHY they had to flee from their homes is horrible .. The USA has used the CIA to "Install" Governments that worked for our Capitalistic Goals .. The Very People the CIA Trained are the Terrorists that are taking over these Country's ..

We are all Americans. We care about every human being on the planet. Every human being has a life they consider precious. Other people are not meant to serve us. We serve everyone. These are the values of America. #EpsteinFiles #RemoveTrumpFromOffice #JusticeForReneeGood #JusticeForAlexPretti

as John Oliver pointed out, the ICE thugs and a whole lot of other maga angst were all conjured up by the continuous agitation caused by right-wing "influencers" acting like amateur videographers. the depiction of widespread supposed fraud by day care centers was the original focus.

Add the economic impact here, I cannot even imagine. businesses shut down, Hennepin Healthcare in danger of shutting down, schools closed, cars/homes etc damaged by ICE And they are still in MN! makes you realize - it’s not about immigrants use of welfare. They don’t care about $ or criminlals

what a waste of money! Money that could be instead spent on healthcare, education, to improve infrastructure, basically to actually help people, is instead being wasted on terrorizing them and kill some. Uneducated ICE agent gets paid more then a teacher, how does that make any sense?

To think the U.S. Government and certain politicians have always claimed that new "immigrants" were costing the U.S. taxpayer too much in benefits. We can be pretty sure that each new "immigrant" did not cost U.S. taxpayers $9 million/each. But, DHS and ICE apparently have unlimited taxpayer $$$$.

That's something that's underreported: even if these incompetent thugs were not deliberately brutalizing people, there's simply no proper role for a large armed force in administering immigration laws. That's not how that works.

Is that just the cost to Minneapolis, which last I saw was estimated at over $200M, or does it include our taxpayer cost of paying, feeding, and housing 3000 goons for 3 months in order to nab only 4k people. (That's about 1/3 of an immigrant per month per goon, how efficient).

Or just $70,000 per-detainment. Which is a crazy number. The US government wastes soooo much money on violence, and almost none on fixing actual issues.

you can either invest in public health and education which empowers people to contribute to a successful, thriving society; or you can invest in prosecuting and punishing people which demoralises and dissuades people from contributing to society;

What makes you think they give a crap about society they don't care about any of that as long as they keep getting richer and hold more and more power. You don't really think they're building those huge detainment warehouses across the country for the undocumented, do you?

ICE must be removed from our streets and retrained properly—no more face masks and/or anything to cover their identity. They must have proper ID. Clothing and badges and uniforms must all match if they represent a federal agency not a Gestapo. Must understand The First Amendment and obey it.

Do the same math regarding the facilities being built to inprisoner them and the money to pay the corporations that manage them. Follow the money!

For 9 million bucks I guarantee each and every one of those "violent criminals" would have taken the money, self-deported, and retired to a tropical island to lounge every day on their pile of money. DOGE apparently had no comment on this use of taxpayer dollars.

Yup, and no matter how many abuelas and abuelos are snatched from their mandated immigration appointments, or how many 5 and 6 year old kids they rip away from cancer treatment, maggots are still going to pretend that this is righteous and this is justified. Makes me want to puke.

If it's the 'worst of the worst' they're after, ICE agents should arrest this entire occupying Regime in D.C. placed into power by tech billionaires & then arrest themselves.

That isn't the half of it. The cost of detention is a minimum of $135/day. Just one county in NC (Alamance) has gotten $2 Mil;ion+ per year for housing an average of 20 immigrants for ICE. in the county jail. But, worse, the human cost is immeasurable.

Ok, so at $70,000/head, ICE detained 4,000 people in MN. We know that a miniscule number of them were actually criminally illegal immigrants. What we don't know is where they are, & when they will be released, as though it's some big secret like the Epstein files. Don't tell me this is efficiency.
