Minnesota families just learned a stomach-turning truth: their elected officials prioritize protecting criminal immigrants over keeping communities safe. While citizens worry about violent gang members and sex offenders in their neighborhoods, Democratic leaders like Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey maintain sanctuary policies that shield these dangerous individuals from federal law enforcement.
The consequences of this political protection racket (yes, that’s exactly what this is) have finally come to light through a federal intervention that local leaders tried desperately to prevent.
From Fox News:
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced it has rounded up at least a dozen criminal illegal immigrants — including “child sex offenders, domestic abusers, and violent gang members” — during Operation Metro Surge in Minneapolis.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE’s) latest “worst of the worst” list includes five Somali nationals, six from Mexico and one from El Salvador.
“Sanctuary policies and politicians like Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey allowed these pedophiles, domestic terrorists, and gang members to roam the streets and terrorize Americans,” DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement.
Federal Forces Step In Where Democrats Failed
Finally, someone with a backbone showed up. Operation Metro Surge just exposed the horrifying truth about who Democrats are protecting in Minneapolis. ICE arrested twelve of the “worst of the worst” criminal illegal immigrants, including child sex offenders, domestic abusers, and violent gang members. These aren’t people seeking a better life—they’re predators Minnesota Democrats allowed to prey on innocent Americans.
The list should make your blood boil. Get this—Sahal Osman Shidane, a Somali national, was convicted of criminal sexual conduct with a minor aged 13-15. Abdulkadir Sharif Abdi, another Somali criminal, belongs to the Vice Lord Nation gang and has convictions for fraud, theft, and multiple probation violations. These are the people Democrats call “vulnerable populations.”
Perhaps most shocking is Abdimahat Bille Mohamed’s case. This convicted sex offender received no prison time in May under a plea deal, then allegedly kidnapped and raped another woman in September. A judge let him walk. Attorney General Pam Bondi didn’t mince words: “If Minnesota will not protect its own people, the Department of Justice will do it for them.”
The Real Cost of Sanctuary Policies
While Walz and Frey preen about compassion, real Minnesotans suffer. Their sanctuary policies don’t just protect immigration violators—they create safe havens for violent criminals. Mexican nationals arrested in the operation include felony alien smugglers and those convicted of aggravated assault with weapons. Every one of them knew Minnesota would protect them.
President Trump called out this festering crisis directly, criticizing Rep. Ilhan Omar and pointing to documented predators entering the country. Omar’s response? Pure deflection theater. She called Trump “creepy” and claimed Somali Americans “love this country”—while completely ignoring the verified criminals terrorizing her own constituents.
The Trump administration’s message cuts through the nonsense: when local Democrats abandon their duty to protect Americans, federal law enforcement will fill the void. These aren’t random enforcement actions—they’re precision operations removing convicted predators from American neighborhoods. Every criminal arrested represents countless potential victims saved (and Democrats fought this every step of the way). The federal government did what Minnesota Democrats refused to do: put American safety first.
