3. I'm calling it a win because they weren't able to break us.

Of course the damage is enormous; it will take years to recover (and obviously some people never will), but the longer they stayed the larger and more determined the resistance became. I think Trump, Miller, and Krusty Gnome and her flying monkeys thought we'd be a soft target because we're so much smaller than LA and Chicago and other targeted Democratic cities, and it was winter, and so we'd fold like a cheap lawn chair instead of offering any serious resistance. And of course Trump especially hates Minnesota because of Walz and Omar and Somalis and Democrats and whatever, so he was expecting quickly to acquire our head for his trophy room. Big surprise, assholes. The resistance will continue, and will take on restoration and repair projects as well as ongoing observations and protests. I hope that when ICE takes their terror campaigns to other cities those citizens will be ready for them.
