The Spin

Anti-Trump narrative

The massive ICE surge in Minneapolis has created a military-style occupation that terrorizes residents and makes people afraid to leave their homes. Federal officers are driving recklessly, hitting cars and using tear gas on peaceful observers who are simply protecting their neighbors. This operation is driven purely by Trump's desire to punish opponents.

Pro-Trump narrative

ICE officers are doing their job to keep Americans safe by removing dangerous criminals from the streets. Protesters should redirect their outrage toward the massive fraud cases harming Minnesota communities instead of targeting law enforcement. The radical left is threatening and assaulting officers who are simply trying to make America safe.
