Seems that, for whatever reason, the regime picked Minneapolis to step up the brutality, to make a big show for the entertainment and pleasure of the MAGA base.
I don’t think it’s entirely intentional. In addition to being proto-nazis they are a bunch of bungling idiots chosen exclusively for their blind loyalty. Trump makes major policy decisions by brain farts, triggered by random segments on Fox or Loomer tweets. The acolytes then rush to implement what they think the dear leader wants, because there’s never a real policy discussion or plan.
They tried to do the same in Minneapolis as in LA and Chicago. But those are giant cities. Even if you send all available goons into those cities, their impact on daily life in the whole city is not very noticeable. Minneapolis is a smaller city. ICE has recruited more agents, and scraped the bottom of the barrel to do so, and the agents have become more drunk on their own power. And I’m sure that Minneapolis has more of a small town character where people know and care about their neighbors.
The result is an unplanned shit show. Now they will recalibrate a little and continue with a more controlled Gestapo campaign. Trump has so far done in one year what it took Hitler about five years to set in motion. He’s not stopping now.
