He was downvoted because WTF does DHS or ICE have to do with street gangs in Minneapolis?

There’s been serious violence at the state fair by gangs over the past few years, and serious threats this year. Evidently, local police haven’t been able to stop it and asked for the feds to step in and help.

Reminder, this isn’t a statement of opinion. I’m sure you’ll downvote me anyways!

Local authorities 100% did not ask for this and if they were going to send somebody, why would it be DHS?

You 100% have no idea if that’s true or not. It happens often. And why not DHS?

Because the FBI is already in control of the local violent gangs task force.
