The Trump administration just sent Minneapolis a crystal-clear message: sanctuary city status won't protect you from the largest deportation operation in American history. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has greenlit the use of Fort Snelling military base near Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport as a housing, vehicle storage, and staging area for ICE and Border Patrol operations targeting illegal aliens in the Democrat stronghold.
According to a leaked email from Customs and Border Protection obtained by RedState, the message from the Trump-Vance administration couldn't be more direct: "We are not going away."
This bold move represents exactly the kind of decisive action patriots voted for in November. While Minneapolis city officials have spent years rolling out the red carpet for illegal immigrants and defying federal immigration law, President Trump and his team are now using every tool at their disposal to restore law and order.
Military Precision Meets Immigration Enforcement
Fort Snelling's strategic location makes it the perfect staging ground for what promises to be a comprehensive sweep of the Twin Cities metro area. The base provides secure facilities for personnel housing, equipment storage, and operational coordination – everything needed to execute large-scale deportation operations efficiently and safely.
This isn't just about Minneapolis, folks. This is about sending a message to every sanctuary city in America that the days of harboring illegal aliens are over. The Trump administration is demonstrating that federal law supersedes local virtue signaling, and they have the resources and determination to prove it.
"The American people demanded action on immigration, and President Trump is delivering exactly what he promised," said one administration source familiar with the operation.
Democrats in Minneapolis are undoubtedly scrambling right now, realizing their years of obstructing immigration enforcement have only delayed the inevitable. The question isn't whether these operations will succeed – it's how quickly other sanctuary cities will wise up and start cooperating with federal authorities.
Patriots across Minnesota and the nation should be celebrating this victory for law and order. After years of watching our immigration system get trampled by lawless Democrat policies, we finally have leadership willing to enforce the law and protect American communities.
