Florida and Texas each have far more undocumented residents compared to Minnesota or Maine

ICE swarming Maine and Minnesota makes ZERO sense.

ICE swarming Maine and Minnesota makes ZERO sense.

Maine has a few thousand undocumented residents.

Texas has 2.1 MILLION.

Florida 600,000.

Red states have millions of undocumented immigrants yet ICE targets small blue ones with less?!

This isn’t enforcement. It’s political intimidation.

Unlike Minnesota, Texas and Florida weren’t invaded by lawless, masked “immigration” ICE thugs.

That’s because their residents voted for Donald Trump and their governors flatter him.

This isn’t about immigration; it’s about deeply damaged Donald’s brittle ego.

Pew Research Institute (2023):

• Red State Texas has about 2.1 million undocumented immigrants

• Red State Florida has 1.6 M undocumented immigrants

• Blue State Minnesota has 130,000.

And yet only Minnesota is being occupied by masked thugs over "immigration."

It's *not* about immigration.
