Anti-ICE protesters in Minneapolis have crossed into armed insurrection territory after breaking into federal vehicles and stealing weapons and ammunition from law enforcement, with FBI weapons still missing on the streets as Director Kash Patel confirms only one person is in custody.

The shocking escalation came after three illegal aliens—all let into the country by the Biden administration—violently attacked an ICE agent with shovels and broomsticks during a targeted operation against Venezuelan criminal Julio Cesar Sosa Salis, who already had a criminal record. The agent suffered facial injuries and internal bleeding, though Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey disgracefully compared the injuries to "bumping into a refrigerator."

Walz Refuses Federal Plea to Stop Violence

Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem revealed she personally called Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, demanding he stop giving safe harbor to violent rioters attacking federal agents. After a long pause, Walz simply said they have "different viewpoints" on the matter—a stunning response that shows how far Democrats will go to protect criminal illegal aliens over American law enforcement.

Noem confirmed discussions with President Trump included the Insurrection Act, stating the president has constitutional authority to invoke it if necessary to protect law enforcement from these coordinated attacks.

"When protesters steal weapons from federal agents we have crossed from civil disobendience into armed resistance,"

Press Secretary Caroline Leavitt demolished a left-wing reporter who tried to blame ICE agents for the violence, calling him "a left wing hack posing as a journalist" and demanding he acknowledge victims like Laken Riley and Jocelyn Nungaray—innocent Americans killed by illegal aliens that Democrats refuse to deport.

Tom Homan explained exactly why Minneapolis became a war zone: sanctuary cities force ICE into dangerous community operations instead of safe jail pickups, putting everyone at risk. Meanwhile, vandalized federal vehicles bore messages saying "the best agent is a dead agent"—the direct result of Democrat rhetoric encouraging violence against law enforcement.

With FBI weapons in the hands of anti-ICE rioters and Democrats like Walz refusing to restore order, how long before this armed resistance spreads to other sanctuary cities across America?

Walz has completely lost control of his state. When will Minnesota voters finally wake up and hold him accountable?

We've been trying! The Twin Cities keep outvoting the rest of us.

This is terrifying. My brother works in federal law enforcement and stories like this keep me up at night worrying about his safety.

This is what happens when you let radical groups operate with impunity. FBI weapons in the hands of rioters - this is a national security crisis.

I lived through the 2020 riots in Minneapolis. Same pattern - Walz does nothing while criminals run wild in the streets.

The property damage from 2020 still isn't fully repaired. Small businesses never recovered.

The federal government needs to step in immediately. This is beyond state jurisdiction now that federal weapons are involved.

Where is the National Guard? What exactly does it take for Walz to actually do his job?

Absolutely disgraceful. I served 20 years to protect this country and now we have governors who won't even protect federal law enforcement.

Thank you for your service! This would never have happened with strong leadership.

Thank God I moved out of Minnesota when I did. This state has become completely lawless under Democratic leadership.
