There were 300 agents assigned to Chicago for Operation Midway
3000 agents were dispatched to Minnesota, concentrated in Minneapolis-St. Paul.
There is zero, or less, cooperation between Minneapolis and Saint Paul police with ICE.
People alledgedly have been calling 911 to jam the system in efforts to get police deployed away from any ICE operations.
If ICE calls, there is no assistance.
I have seen no reports of any real issues in any location outside of the metropolitan area.
In some places, ICE is welcomed. They do their job and leave.
There are 3000 people in the operation because there is zero cooperation from state and local police. If it takes 20 agents to make an arrest or detainment, it takes 2-3 for the effort and the other 17-18 are for crowd control and protection.
The interfering with ICE operations and the protests are very well coordinated. State and local governments are encouraging the protesting while standing in front of a camera and downplaying any role in the violence.
The downside of zero cooperation is that nearly all of the enforcement is being done on the street. If 1 individual is targeted, and found with a few others who may never be targets, then all of the individuals get detained.
That's what Walz and Frey are causing thru their zero cooperation position. And they've known that and been told that.
