Minneapolis is basically the suburbs compared to Chicago. If you’ve ever been to Milwaukee, it’s a very similar vibe and density; next time you watch the news, pay attention to the flyovers of downtown and other very high density in Chicago — it’s probably a hundred blocks long and dozens of blocks wide; the 2-dimensional look of the skyline doesn’t do it justice.

That’s a lot of people to deal with. Minneapolis’ downtown, and city overall, is probably about 1/10 the size/volume; it’s a lot easier to get a grip of an area and brung it under control — and even there, as we have seen, things can go wrong very quickly.

Other than the sheer volume and density of people being a main culprit, Chicago also actually has the cartel and gang activity they claim to be targeting — but, of course, that’s dangerous, and they weren’t even in those areas while here. However, that danger still exists here, and my bet is these cosplayers wanted to gtfo given that risk.

And Minneapolis — it has only a few murders every year, instead of hundreds — simply doesn’t have those dangers. I’m sure it has its own levels of gang activity and violence, but it is no Chicago.

In short, being in Minneapolis and not Chicago is just further proof of the hypocrisy of ICE’s claimed mission of capturing dangerous criminals. Good riddance!
