The narrative war on ICE
There are a couple of things driving the narrative war on ICE in Minnesota. One is the exposure of the Somali fraud. There has been hundreds of millions confirmed, and up to one billion alleged, that have been linked to Somali fraud. Such massive fraud could not have been accomplished without a lot of high-level people knowing about it and turning a blind eye. The recent incidents involving Renee Good and Alex Pretti provide a convenient distraction, shifting attention away from the corrupt officials and toward ICE, Trump, and the federal government.
The second thing is about votes. Minnesota, and I'd wager most deep blue cities and states, are dependent on illegals and fraudulent activities in order to win elections. This is how they stay in perpetual power. Trump's crackdown on illegals and fraud jeopardizes their well-oiled fraud machine. That is something they simply cannot allow. This is why you see ex-presidents, politicians, the media, and celebrities coming out of the woodworks and voicing their disapproval of ICE and Trump. All their assets are being deployed.
At its core, everything is about the midterms. This is a very important election for both Republicans and Democrats. If the Republicans win, Trump will go after them unrestrained, and they know it. That is not something they could afford at this juncture. And if the Democrats win, it will hamstring Trump for the next two years, turning him into a lame duck president. Needless to say, there is a lot at stake here. Expect for things to intensify and spread, especially during the summer and leading up to the midterms.
What is happening offers a peek behind the curtains. Everything is about optics and narrative seeding. It's political theater to manipulate the masses who are both spectators and participants in this power struggle. The powers that be want to remain in power, and they require the masses to do it. They use these events as flashpoints for political gain so that they can craft narratives around them and sway the public.
