The Trump administration is taking decisive action against sanctuary city madness, with the Small Business Administration announcing it's pulling its Minneapolis office out of the lawless city immediately due to overwhelming local hostility toward Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
SBA Administrator Kelly Loeffler dropped the hammer Saturday, ordering the agency's Minneapolis branch to pack up and relocate to an area that actually follows federal law and takes public safety seriously. The move sends a crystal-clear message to radical Democrat-controlled cities: comply with immigration law or lose federal presence.
"The overwhelming local hostility toward Immigration and Customs Enforcement" has made it impossible for the federal agency to operate effectively in Minneapolis, Loeffler stated. The SBA will establish operations in a location "that complies with federal law and takes seriously their responsibility to promote public safety on Main Street."
Sanctuary City Chickens Coming Home to Roost
This is exactly what happens when radical leftist city councils prioritize protecting illegal aliens over law-abiding Americans and federal employees trying to do their jobs. Minneapolis has become a poster child for sanctuary city insanity, actively obstructing ICE operations and creating a hostile environment for anyone supporting immigration enforcement.
The relocation represents a major victory for President Trump's promise to crack down on sanctuary jurisdictions that refuse to cooperate with federal immigration law. Why should taxpayers subsidize federal operations in cities that actively undermine federal authority?
"This administration won't tolerate local governments that put politics above public safety and the rule of law," a Trump administration official told reporters.
The move will likely save taxpayer money while sending federal resources to communities that actually appreciate law and order. Meanwhile, Minneapolis businesses lose access to crucial SBA services – a direct consequence of their city leadership's radical anti-American policies.
How many more federal agencies will follow suit before Minneapolis Democrats realize their sanctuary city virtue signaling has real consequences for their constituents?
