Robin Chugtai addresses hers to hi, neighbor. And Wansley goes with dear community. And she said, the announcement that Operation Metro Surge will soon end is a concession won by the working class residents of Minneapolis who showed incredible compassion, courage, discipline and strength in the face of a state sanctioned terror. The way residents stood alongside each other. Okay, she's right. Ordinary Minnesotans really, really put up a fuss and they were out there during the coldest stretch of the year and they didn't like what they were seeing. But she goes on to say. She goes on to say that ICE must be abolished. And then she goes on to say, I and some of my colleagues are dedicated to advancing an equitable recovery, one that invests in marginalized communities and doesn't make working class people foot the bill for this campaign of terror. Residents have already given everything to protect their neighbors. The city of Minneapolis must invest in an equitable recovery for all residents. Okay, we don't. We really don't know what that meant. Means. Last week, council approved my proposal to invest 1 million into rental assistance to prevent evictions for families who have been impacted by Operation Metro Surge. Next week, council will vote on the ordinance I'm authorizing to slow down the eviction process. Next week, council will also have the opportunity to invest 5 million into small business residency. And she goes on to say, where is this here? We need more than a reduction of agents. We need ICE fully out of our state and city. And she doesn't want to have ice. Okay, now you go to Chugtie. And she writes something similar. We can't ever forget the horrors carried out by the federal agents. The they roamed our streets en masse and abducted our neighbors, racially profiled residents, brutalized observers, violated our safe spaces in schools and places of worship. That's all true. And they terrified and stole children from their families. We know that today's announcement has not changed the goal of the Trump administration. Mass deportations that tear apart our families, friends, and neighbors as a community. I hope we keep our arms wrapped around each other. That begins with real transparency from all the individuals have been meeting with the Department of Homeland Security leadership. That's why I'm calling on our elected leaders in Minnesota to immediately provide details to the public about what, if anything, was agreed to for our agents to leave, because we need to deserve the transparency. Okay, here's what I would deduce from these two messages. The others were not dissimilar. Chugta, for example, is demanding to know if any deals were struck to make it more amenable for local law enforcement to work with the feds. That's what's on her mind, and she would oppose that. All right, so what Chug Tie wants to know is, boy, behind those closed doors, did you. Did you reach an agreement with these federalist terrorists to continue haranguing us? Because I want to know that. All right, well, Wansley is in the nobody is illegal and we're on stolen land camp. And she wants money to. To cover the losses that businesses felt and. And residents felt who might not be able to have put together the money to pay their rent because they couldn't leave their buildings or were afraid to go work and what have you. Let's take. Let's change. Let's take Wansley first, because Chug Tai will also vote for Wansley's ordinance, which would require the taxpayers to cough up money to supplant money that presumably was lost during the. During the brunt of the surge. It dawns on me that mysterious always create a mess, but we have to pay for it. Mysterious always create a horrendous financial mess. They create financial gaps, and then they use their ideology to excuse the gaps, but on the other hand, saying, we need to create ordinances to come up with more money, and if we need more tax money, we'll have to get it because we have to clean up the mess we made. The mess the mysterious made was this insistence that there are certain federal laws Minneapolis must ignore. Now, I'm not disputing that ICE behaved horribly Here. That's a given. This was a unique situation. You sent in too many ICE agents, many of whom did not display professionalism, to work in a city where the city council and the mayor have vowed not to cooperate with you. That created a firestorm. It helped create the firestorm. So, on the one hand, yes, ICE behaved poorly here. It was dreadful. It was a lousy, lousy deal for 72 days. And, yes, people were fearful, and there were two deaths and kids were taken, and it was just a bad, bad deal. But you cannot let Mysterians off the hook entirely because they brought about this forced suspension of any law enforcement whatsoever. Helping. Even if you would have allowed the Minneapolis cops to show up at ICE raids, ring the perimeter, make sure things were handled quietly, you wouldn't have had two murders. You wouldn't have had Renee Goode in the middle of the road where she found herself. But she shouldn't have been there. She didn't try to kill the guy, but she shouldn't have been there. And you wouldn't have had Petty wandering into Preddy. Is that his name? You wouldn't have had him wandering into the street. You would have had Minneapolis coppers saying, all right, stand right here. You get to watch him. Blow your whistle if you want, but you're just gonna stand back. We couldn't even do that because the Mysterians who think nobody's illegal and we're on stolen land, although these hypocrites have never given back, they don't want anything to do with the federal law enforcement. Now, how much of that has to do with Trump? I don't know. I think Chug Tai and Wansley would demand this separation ordinance no matter who was the president. They're mysterious. They don't want laws, they don't want borders. They have nothing to do with actually running a city. They're only there to advance their ideology.
