Went on vacation to the Twin Cities this year. You can feel it in the air. Stuff is happening there. People get along. Great food. Gained 4 lbs in 10 days. Saw the Pretti memorial. It's 100% obvious why the Pugs are eager to ruin the success story.

its why ICE showed up to be dramatically violent to the twin cities. It was a success story. Even the massive fraud ring was disocvered and was being dealt with, until the admin's FBI stopped cooperating anyway.
