    I grew up in NYC, live in Boston now. I would say that New Yorkers are rude, impatient, and short-tempered. Bostonians are mean, with a deep-seated rage that’s always threatening to burst to the surface. I don’t know much about Minneapolis, but if they’re anything like the midwesterners I’ve known, they’re kind, polite, and helpful folks. If a large-scale ICE operation provokes that kind of reaction from them, they are not prepared for what they will receive in the Northeast.

      And Los Angeles is not known for the placidity of its inhabitants either, at least not in the areas likely to be targeted by ICE.
