Citing an ICE news release, the piece lists individual cases-such as Sriudorn Phaivan (multiple sexual assaults, thefts and fraud), Tou Vang (sexual assault of a child and procuring a child for prostitution), Abdirashid Mohamed Ahmed (vehicle manslaughter and DUIs), and Mong Cheng (gang member with homicide and other violent convictions)-and says many arrested have final orders of removal dating back years. ICE Director Todd Lyons and the release argue these arrests target the &#8220;worst of the worst,&#8221; prevent recidivism, and have resulted in more than 2,500 criminal arrests in Minnesota as the operation began. The article also accuses sanctuary politicians, naming Gov. Tim Walz and Minneapolis mayor Jacob Frey, of obstructing cooperation with federal authorities and enabling offenders to remain free, and alleges activists and rioters have interfered with ICE actions. The report includes social media reactions praising ICE and criticizing elected officials, while emphasizing ICES claim that gang members and dangerous offenders were among those detained.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>They killed.
