ICE is not in Minneapolis because it is a "sanctuary city." They are in the city because Trump is seeking retribution against Governor Walz for damaging Trump's fragile ego. They are in the city primarily because of Trump's racism against the Somali community, as well as the fact that a Democrat is the mayor.
The author of the LTE falsely implies that all of the undocumented are criminals and is apparently unaware or unconcerned that the Constitution applies even to the undocumented. He also characterizes the demonstrations as "far from peaceful" and that they are funded by Soros, a claim which in addition to being false, also has its roots in antisemitism. And no right-wing trope would be complete without mentioning that not only do they vote, but that they do so exclusively for Democrats.
The most ridiculous claim in the LTE is that it is Democrats who "hate" American citizens while striving for "power and control".
