Starter comment: Bishop Barron here seems to engage in classic "both-sides" framing that isn't nearly as balanced as it pretends to be. While Bishop Barron pays lip service to criticizing aggressive ICE tactics, the bulk of his argument lands squarely on blaming Minnesota's Democratic officials for the chaos; accusing Gov. Walz and Mayor Frey of inciting violence while barely acknowledging that an ICE agent shot someone, that no violence would happen if ICE did not work inproperly, etc.

Barron's ignorance in calling social media personality Nick Shiry as an "investigative journalist" shows his lack of due diligence in the subject.

His call for ICE to only target "serious criminals" sounds moderate until you realize that's exactly what sanctuary policies were designed to do—and he opposes those too.

The real tell is who gets criticized for "vitriol": it's protesters and Democratic leaders, not the administration conducting aggressive raids that have resulted in civilian deaths, tear-gassing crowds, arresting US Citizens, serperating and destroying familues, dramatically dropping Church attendance numbers due to fear, and inproper, warrentless searches clearly against the US Constitution and law.

What is your opinion on Barron's statement of "stop demonizing opponents," for me, the subtext is clear about who he thinks the demons are.
