Re: Stop DeSantis from spending too much money, Editorial, Feb. 1

You should stick to reporting the news rather than your editorial garbage. Your hatred of our governor has blinded your ability to be balanced, fair or accurate.

Florida has grown exponentially since Ron DeSantis was elected. Almost 1,000 people per day move to our great state. His ability to not only balance our budget but to turn a surplus while adding so many citizens is a model that should be applauded and envied.

The governor is going to reduce property taxes, if he gets his way, to make home ownership more accessible and affordable. Under his leadership, for the first time in decades, property insurance rates are falling by double digits.

Those of us who have subscribed to your newspaper for decades realize that the truth and facts no longer fit your political agenda. Frankly, I think your entire editorial board should be replaced.

I do love your sportswriters. That is the only reason that I still subscribe to your once-proud newspaper.

ICE must leave Minnesota

America has benefited from its history of welcoming immigrants.

This does not mean that in the modern era that the U.S. should have open borders. Congress and the executive branch must finally come up with an effective and humane plan for the settlement of the many people all over the globe who want to live here.

We expect properly trained law enforcement to control our borders and to deport the criminals who are here illegally. Unfortunately, the Trump administration has crafted ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) into a poorly trained, aggressive military-style force that violates many provisions of the Bill of Rights.

The Florida Democratic Party Jewish Caucus calls on the Trump adminstration to remove ICE from Minnesota until a plan of cooperation between federal and state officials can be agreed upon and the deaths of innocent citizens are investigated transparently by local, state and federal law enforcement departments.

ICE, Renee Good, Alex Pretti.

Can’t anyone stop him?

‘This cannot be America’

It has been a very sad nightmare to watch, day after day, the news where ICE agents drag, torture, arrest and kill innocent citizens without daring to ask them for their IDs. My heart cannot continue seeing this.

We have never been in such a disastrous, disgraceful and shameful chaotic situation.

The world is watching. Are we cursed? We do not deserve it.

I hope that protests against ICE won’t end soon and, on the contrary, they extend stronger nationwide until ICE agents are prosecuted. I feel like we’re living in wartime under a Nazi regime where innocent citizens were treated that way.

This cannot be America. Shame on you, ICE!
