ICE named several detainees and described long-standing final orders of removal in some cases, saying the arrests &#8211; which it says total more than 2,500 criminal noncitizens in the state since the operation began &#8211; remove &#8220;the worst of the worst&#8221; from communities and help prevent recidivism. Agency leaders blamed &#8220;rioters and sanctuary politicians&#8221; for obstructing operations and criticized state and local officials (naming Governor tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey) for policies that they say allow dangerous offenders to remain free. The piece also cites social-media posts and public reactions on both sides: some posts and witnesses applauded ICE arrests, while critics and some local officials have pushed back, accusing ICE of overreach and raising political controversy around specific incidents. ICE emphasized arresting gang members and other violent offenders as the focus of its work, while the article highlights the broader clash between federal immigration enforcement and sanctuary-minded local authorities.  <\/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.
