Minneapolis shooting reveals tensions between ICE and local authorities amid ongoing protests.
Few people really know what exactly happened this morning in Minneapolis, and that certainly includes the governor and Mayor of Minneapolis.
Yet both of them started making statements blaming ICE for the shooting of an armed man who was resisting arrest, and seemed to be encouraging the citizens of Minneapolis to attack ICE because they are part of an «invasion» of the state.
????UPDATE: ICE-involved shooting near Glam Doll Donuts on Nicollet Ave in south Minneapolis. DHS tells Fox News the suspect was armed with a gun, which has been recovered by federal agents.

Democrats have already settled on a narrative, which amounts to a claim that ICE and the Border Patrol are not legitimate law enforcement officers, that they are kidnapping children and peaceful American citizens, and that everybody being arrested is a «neighbor» who was just minding their business and making our communities stronger.

Senate Democrats, who haven’t a clue about conditions in Minneapolis, are attacking ICE as a violent version of the Keystone Cops. They are untrained, incompetent, but also Gestapo agents who are arresting innocent rapists and murderers who are, through adding their diversity, increasing the strength of our community.

Federal law-enforcement officers are “undisciplined, overweight, low IQ rent-a-cops.” https://t.co/nr7cAhMFuH pic.twitter.com/mAxfuYzf2d— Steve Guest (@SteveGuest) January 24, 2026
The reality is that the streets are being taken over by Black Bloc rioters who are assaulting federal agents every day, and that death threats against ICE agents are a fact of life here in Minneapolis. Random people are being stopped in the streets by anti-ICE «protesters» and harassing them.

Frey and Walz have all the tools to keep the peace, and could, at any time, tone down the temperature and the rhetoric. All they need to do is assist in the peaceful apprehension of known criminals and turn over the criminal illegal aleins in jail.
