Democrats in Minnesota are once again showing their true colors, immediately calling for the defunding and removal of Immigration and Customs Enforcement from their state after Border Patrol agents were forced to defend themselves during a violent altercation in Minneapolis Saturday morning.
The shooting occurred when federal agents attempted to make an arrest in south Minneapolis, leading to a physical confrontation that turned deadly. But instead of waiting for facts or supporting law enforcement, radical Democrats jumped at the chance to attack ICE – the very agency President Trump is counting on to execute his promised mass deportation operation.
This is the second such incident in Minnesota, and Democrats are using it as ammunition in their war against immigration enforcement. They're demanding not just "accountability" but the complete removal of federal immigration authorities from the state.
Perfect Timing for the Anti-Trump Resistance
The timing couldn't be more suspicious. Just as President Trump's second-term immigration agenda kicks into high gear, suddenly every ICE action becomes a "crisis" demanding federal agents be stripped of their authority.
These are the same Democrats who spent four years calling for abolishing ICE entirely. Now they're using isolated incidents – where agents likely acted in self-defense – to resurrect their anti-enforcement agenda.
What Democrats won't tell you is that ICE agents face dangerous situations daily while trying to remove criminal illegal aliens from American communities. When violent criminals resist arrest, officers must protect themselves and the public.
Undermining Trump's Mandate
Make no mistake – this isn't about "accountability." This is about sabotaging President Trump's deportation operation before it can fully begin. Democrats know they can't stop Trump nationally, so they're trying to create sanctuary zones where federal immigration law doesn't apply.
Minnesota voters didn't elect these Democrats to shield illegal aliens from federal law enforcement. They elected them to keep communities safe – something that requires cooperation with, not defunding of, immigration authorities.
Will Patriots stand by while Democrats use every excuse to protect criminal illegal aliens over law-abiding Americans? The answer will determine whether Trump's immigration mandate succeeds or fails.
