Here in the Twin Cities, we're entering the second month of being "besieged" by an ICE crackdown on illegal immigrants, and in turn being besieged by those "protesting" the besiegers.
Or something like that. It's kind of hard to keep track of who the "good guys" and "bad guys" are anymore.
To be fair, it's pretty clear those who are running the circus aren't sure either. Here's Minnesota's senior Senator, one-time Presidential candidate and possible future governor, Amy Klobuchar today.
There are now more ICE agents in MN than there are police in the 10 largest metro police departments combined.

Our Police Chief asked them not to come onto our streets, but the administration continues to escalate the situation.
This is making Minnesota less safe. pic.twitter.com/zMV9dUQERS
Which is, of course, what A-Klo is known for; standing firmly on pure bedrock principle...
...oh:
I can do this all night. Here’s MAGA Amy Klobuchar in 2006 calling for ‘a fence’, accounting for inflation ‘a wall’ and ‘order at the border’. Show this to an ICE protestor or Democrat. Watch their politics collapse under the weight of their own hypocrisy. Minnesota, ground zero,… pic.twitter.com/JHwztchp7n

OK, so Minnesota's leadership is more confused than the rest of us are.
One thing that's not especially confusing, at least to anyone who ever read a about the French Revolution, is the pattern of behavior being shown by some of the "protesters". High on the righteousness of their cause, they appear to believe that saying "I'm on the right side of history" puts them on the right side of history.
They are off to a bad start.

Or this episode, which looks a little like a bunch of downmarket frat boys trying to larp an episode of "Jackass" (kids, ask your parents):

What began as a casual lunch between five Twin Cities software engineers quickly escalated into a frightening encounter after the men were misidentified as undercover federal agents and… pic.twitter.com/aca4QUb8mF
Or my favorirte so far - when a group of whistle-blowing Karens forming an impromptu Committee for Public Safety ran across a group of guys...having breakfast at a deli about a mile from the scene of the Renee Good shooting, and did what Committees for Public Safety are best at:
[One fo the guys] said the group was eating lunch at Clancy’s Deli, near 38th Street and Grand Avenue South, when one of the men — who belongs to an anti-ICE Signal chat — received a message from a group labeled “SW Minneapolis Rapid Response” claiming that plainclothes ICE agents were dining at the restaurant.
“My friend was shocked,” Lee said. “He’s on the [anti-ICE] side politically. He lives nearby. He’s eaten there before. And suddenly he’s seeing messages saying we’re ICE.”
The software engineers — all white males dressed casually in sweatshirts and jackets — were soon confronted by protesters who surrounded the restaurant, shouting insults and blowing whistles in their ears as they attempted to leave, according to Lee. of us is pro-ICE, one anti-ICE, others on the fence,” he said. “After this, I think some of them are rethinking everything.”
South Minneapolis is always a boundless fount of material for conservative bloggers.
