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”
