What this shows is that a staggering 63%(!) of people arrested by ICE in Minnesota during Operation Metro Surge (from December through February) had no criminal record at all.
I genuinely think the president and many of his advisers, scammers, hustlers, and keyboard gangsters, don’t understand this concept at all and you can see it in the pattern of their mistakes from Minneapolis to Tehran www.nytimes.com/2026/03/29/o...

NYT: young people at CPAC are "J-pilled," defined as slang for "skepticism of Israeli influence"

Twelve years ago today, at the start of Russia's invasion, the unofficial anthem of Ukraine's National Resistance movement was heard for the first time in Kharkiv: "Putin Khuylo".
