BORDER PATROL Under SIEGE: Minneapolis Erupts as Agitators Attack Federal Agents

Federal Border Patrol agents came under direct attack from hostile crowds in South Minneapolis over the weekend, highlighting the dangerous environment Trump's immigration enforcement teams now face as they work to secure America's borders and remove criminal illegal aliens.

What started as a Border Patrol agent-involved shooting on Saturday quickly escalated into a full-scale assault on federal law enforcement, with agitators blocking roads, surrounding government vehicles, and forcing agents into defensive positions. The volatile confrontation shows exactly what happens when years of anti-police rhetoric and sanctuary city policies create a powder keg of lawlessness.

Large crowds "surged into the streets" and "swarmed federal personnel," according to reports, turning a law enforcement operation into a dangerous mob scene. This is the reality facing Trump's border security teams as they work to implement the President's mass deportation agenda - hostile local populations whipped into a frenzy by years of Democrat propaganda.

The Left's War on Immigration Enforcement

Make no mistake, Patriots - this isn't some spontaneous community response. This is the inevitable result of Democrats and their media allies spending years demonizing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Border Patrol agents as "jackbooted thugs" and "Nazis."

Now that President Trump is back in office and serious about removing criminal illegal aliens from our communities, we're seeing the left's true colors. They don't want law and order - they want chaos and open borders, even if it means attacking federal agents trying to do their jobs.

"The federal officers were forced into defensive positions amid a fast-escalating wave of unrest," highlighting just how hostile these sanctuary jurisdictions have become toward legitimate immigration enforcement.

This is exactly why Trump's mandate is so crucial. The American people voted decisively for secure borders and the rule of law, but Democrat strongholds like Minneapolis are determined to resist - even if it means putting federal agents in danger.

How long will we tolerate local officials creating conditions where federal law enforcement can't operate safely? It's time for consequences when local leaders enable attacks on immigration agents.

I have family in Minneapolis and they're saying the media isn't covering half of what's really happening there. Stay safe, agents!

As a retired CBP officer, this hits close to home. These brave men and women deserve our full support, not rocks and bottles thrown at them.

When will this madness end? We have laws for a reason and agents sworn to uphold them.

This is absolutely disgraceful! These federal agents are just trying to do their jobs and protect our border. Where is the local leadership to restore order?

Local leadership here is a joke. They've let the city burn before and they're doing it again.

Praying for all the agents and their families tonight. This is not the America I grew up in.
