This was never about immigration

Last edited Tue Jan 27, 2026, 01:05 AM - Edit history (1)

I have lived in Minneapolis since July of 1982. My first apartment was in Whitter neighborhood 4 blocks from where Alex Pretti was murdered. A few years later I lived in Central neighborhood 5 blocks from where Renee Good wax murdered. Both neighborhoods are working class with an artsy vibe. Not where I would be if I was hiding from ICE. I drove a cab in Minneapolis for two years so I know the city demographics very well.
There are far better parts of the city for immigrants to blend in although both neighborhoods are racially mixed, just not where I would look for undocumented folks.
IMHO this is an attack on" those white liberals" that dared to vote against the orange turd and also elected a woman of Somali origin to congress.
I know this not news to most of you but I just wanted to add my knowledge of the demographics of the neighborhoods.
Edited to correct my typos I hope I got them all
