Is St. Paul more conservative than Minneapolis?

I assume ICE has operations in both cities, but you mostly only hear about the protests and pushback in Minneapolis.

One of the many fundamental problems with ICE is that they seem to have little to no training.

Police with no training should not be allowed to perform traffic stops or to arrest people. Or really to interact with the public at all.

One of the ICE failings we've seen over and over is how they needlessly escalate situations. If you pull someone over and they flee, if you pursue them, you have to consider the danger to others. Sometimes you just have to let them go and figure out how to pick them up at a later time when it is less dangerous.

Yes, it makes policing more complicated, but if police are escalating situations and making things more dangerous, that's an even larger problem.

ICE has such a bad reputation now that I think people will flee at a much higher rate. Their lack of training is part of the reason they're causing this mess, and if they want to keep pulling people over, they're going to need massive amounts of training to learn to do it correctly. Even more than normal police because the situation today is what it is.
