What are we supposed to glean from this? There's no statistic that can reframe or justify lethal systemic failure. Sans additional context, this post reads like apologia for a faulty (and fixable!) system.

This methodology is completely bogus. You cannot simply assume independent variables and do this multiplication.

But it also doesn't particularly change anything.

No. Every undocumented immigrant in Minnesota is a criminal.

Entering the USA unlawfully is, not surprisingly, illegal and a crime.

If finding undocumented immigrants was truly the goal, ICE would be heavily focused on Texas and Florida, where the number of them is respectively over 25 and 15 times higher. But that’s not why ICE is in Minnesota, and we all know it.

I think the jist is that in MN the criminal rate may be a lot higher because of fraud.

Yep, it's fairly difficult to imagine that Minnesota in the winter is overrun with problematic illegal migrants.

It's almost as if... there is some other rationale at play for sending ICE there?
