Minneapolis, MN
LETTER: Minnesota and Minneapolis created the ICE mess
In response to Tom McDonough’s recent letter regarding ICE in Minneapolis and the impending doom that could be coming our way from operation “Metro Surge,” I offer a different perspective.
I was born, raised and lived in the great state of Minnesota for many years. Fortunately, I was raised outside of the metropolitan area in a very conservative, rural setting. It was far away from the Twin Cities cesspool that exists amongst the Land of 10,000 Lakes.
I travel home to see family and friends often. Prior to 2020, flying into Minneapolis and taking light rail was comfortable, easy, safe and convenient. However, after COVID, the George Floyd riots and now the Metro Surge fiasco, I will no longer feel safe in Minneapolis. I pretty much despise travelling to my home state any longer.
The state of Minnesota and the city of Minneapolis created this mess, and they now are trying to blame the U.S. government for it all. Venture outside of the Twin Cities area and you will find that most of the rural folks see it for what it is and are waiting for accountability and change. They don’t believe the hype, finger-pointing and misinformation from afar. Nor do I.
Minneapolis police are investigating a hit-and-run that left a man seriously injured Tuesday afternoon.
The crash happened near Oliver Avenue North and Lowry Avenue North just before 2 p.m., according to the Minneapolis Police Department.
Investigators say an SUV struck another vehicle, which then collided with a motorcyclist. The driver of the SUV then fled the scene.
The motorcyclist was taken to the hospital with potentially life-threatening injuries. Police say the driver of the other vehicle was not injured.
No arrests have been made as of Tuesday night.
A recent FOX 9 investigation found that Medicaid fraudsters owe millions but pay back little with several other defendants discharged from probation after making either minimal or no payments towards their court-imposed debts.
A homicide investigation is underway after a person was found shot to death inside a car parked along the Mississippi River, the Minneapolis Park Police Department said.
Around 6:40 a.m. Sunday, officers from Minneapolis Park police and the city’s police department responded to a report of a body in a car at Mill Ruins Park. They found an adult with a fatal gunshot wound at the scene, as well as a firearm.
The Minneapolis Police Department’s Homicide Unit is investigating.
Police said the Hennepin County medical examiner will determine the manner and cause of death, as well as the person’s identity.
