President Donald Trump shared a post on his Truth Social account claiming a “day of reckoning and retribution” was coming for Minnesota Democrats while claiming they were causing unrest throughout the state due to their opposition of his immigration policies.
“Do the people of Minnesota really want to live in a community in which there are thousands of already convicted murderers, drug dealers and addicts, rapists, violent released and escaped prisoners, dangerous people from foreign mental institutions and insane asylums, and other deadly criminals too dangerous to even mention,” Trump wrote. “All the patriots of ICE want to do is remove them from your neighborhood and send them back to the prisons and mental institutions from where they came, most in foreign Countries who illegally entered the USA though Sleepy Joe Biden’s HORRIBLE Open Border’s Policy. Every place we go, crime comes down. In Chicago, despite a weak and incompetent Governor and Mayor fighting us all the way, a big improvement was made. Thousands of Criminals were removed! Minnesota Democrats love the unrest that anarchists and professional agitators are causing because it gets the spotlight off of the 19 Billion Dollars that was stolen by really bad and deranged people. FEAR NOT, GREAT PEOPLE OF MINNESOTA, THE DAY OF RECKONING & RETRIBUTION IS COMING!”
Numerous protests have been held in Minnesota since the fatal shooting of Renee Good by a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent on January 7, while state authorities have joined Illinois in suing the Trump administration for its surge of ICE personnel within their states. Homeland Security secretary Kristi Noem confirmed to FOX News that “hundreds more” federal officers would be sent to Minnesota on Sunday (January 12).
Good was fatally shot by a U.S. Immigration and Customs officer on January 7 and the shooting has been widely politicized as Democrats and Republicans argue over the cause. A video shared online, which appears to have been recorded on a cellphone belonging to Jonathan Ross, the ICE officer who fatally shot Good, shows her in the driver’s seat of her SUV on a suburban street talking to ICE officers while her wife stands outside the vehicle before Ross fires multiple rounds into the SUV just after it starts to move.
Democrat members of Congress and local Minneapolis leaders and residents have condemned the actions of the ICE officer while Trump, Vice President JD Vance, the Department of Homeland Security and numerous conservative pundits have defended the officer.
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey said “tens of thousands of people” attended what he described as a peaceful march, but Noem claimed the operation in the state would now shift from its sole focus of immigration law breaches to also tackling anti-ICE protests.
“We’re going to continue to if they conduct violent activities against law enforcement, if they impede our operations, that’s a crime, and we will hold them accountable to those consequences,” she said via FOX News.
