"It is the worst of the worst, and I think the point of this Tom Homan experiment was to show that people like Tim Walz and Jacob Frey and governors and mayors across the country who are plagued by crime and homelessness and all sorts of other things they are unwilling to tackle, is they have wanted this. They have wanted these people out of their cities and their states, but unfortunately, when Kristi Noem was in their grandstanding, it allowed Jacob Frey to grandstand."
"The way for her to play this, especially with someone like Rand Paul, who often times goes rogue from his own caucus, would be to say, you know, we needed to get the 14%. That's fantastic, said Kennedy. But how can we and other cities just focus on that 14% instead of minimizing it, and saying, you know, 14% really isn't that bad.' Because it is bad."
A leadership change coincided with the end of the federal immigration surge operation in Minneapolis, reflecting a decisive outcome in an internal enforcement conflict. The arrest demographics showed that 14% of those detained by ICE were violent criminals, prompting calls to prioritize removing that subset rather than downplaying the statistic. Enforcement tactics that coordinated with county jails and behind-closed-doors planning were contrasted with public grandstanding by some political figures. The enforcement-focused approach attracted broad local participation from counties. Media scrutiny of arrest metrics intensified debate over priorities and municipal responsibilities for crime and homelessness.
