ICE says it has arrested 10,000 ‘criminal illegal aliens’ in Minnesota, but offers little proof If accurate, that total would represent a substantial share of the state’s undocumented immigrants.

ICE says it arrested 10,000 "criminal illegal aliens" in MN but it has only released 240 names of immigrants arrested as of Jan. 19. Of those 240, 80% have felony convictions. Nearly all had served their time and were not actively wanted when they were detained, according to a Star Tribune analysis.

In case the algorithm hasn’t delivered this to you yet, Donald Trump wrote a truly insane message to the Norwegian, Prime Minister, and here it is. The entire Republican Party is still lockstep with this guy.

Q: After you told ICE to get the F out, Republicans are criticizing you for escalating tensions

FREY: I'm sorry if I offered their Disney princess ears, but if we're talking about what's inflammatory, on one hand you got someone who dropped an F bomb & on other you have someone who killed someone

It’s too bad USSF is incompetent and can’t make this happen itself.

I can’t watch this right now, but a fourth division is a niche that NISA would be perfect four. Assuming more competent leadership. The League for Clubs may also fit here.

USL talks a big game but seems destined to fail because it isn't substantively professional. Expanding too quickly, not vetting the financial stability of prospective teams, and forgetting that the players are professionals without which the league does not exist to revolutionize soccer in America

It's in USL's best interests to cave in here. The longer this continues, the more the public who may or may not have a strong opinion on USL look at the league as yet another house of cards in sports, like the USFL or NASL back in the day.

Can't have growth without investment.

Wow. It’s almost like reading the same crap he wrote about soccer clubs.

Sad thing is, he could have done the hard work to find investors to resurrect clubs that are dead. Instead, he picks a fight with the Cosmos and builds his brand using bad AI articles.

I posted on Facebook a week ago that backing in as an 8 seed to play Goliath had worked well only 2 years ago. Lightning does strike twice. Goliath is dead, long live City.

Looking to roll the momentum into the midweek!

It's MATCHDAY in the USL Championship, and we're on the road to New Mexico United as we look to extend our unbeaten streak to six matches!

Tune in on the CBS Sports Golazo Network, TUDN, or locally on CW Detroit 50!

We chant, sing, and stand on stolen Anishinaabe land.
