If Minnesota Democrats want to put this Immigration and Customs Enforcement trouble behind them, all they have to do is ensure that the state cooperates with federal immigration authorities instead of hiding behind hysterical rhetoric and deflection.

The reason ICE is out in full force in Minneapolis is that state Democrats prevent full cooperation with ICE. Minnesota claims that it does fully cooperate with ICE because the state’s prison system notifies ICE when illegal immigrants are to be released in order to coordinate their deportation. Therefore, Minnesota cooperates.
