President Donald Trump delivered a scathing rebuke of Minnesota's Democratic leadership on Saturday, accusing Governor Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey of "inciting insurrection" with their inflammatory anti-immigration enforcement rhetoric that he says directly led to a terrorist attack on federal officers.
The explosive allegations came after an armed assailant was shot and killed during a violent confrontation with immigration enforcement officers in Minneapolis. The terrorist, whose identity has not been released, engaged in what witnesses described as a premeditated attack on officers conducting lawful immigration operations.
"Tim Walz and Jacob Frey are inciting insurrection with their dangerous, anti-American rhetoric," Trump declared. "Their words have consequences, and now we have a terrorist who tried to assassinate federal officers. This is exactly what happens when Democrats choose to side with criminals over law enforcement."
The incident highlights the growing tension between the Trump administration's aggressive immigration enforcement and Democratic officials who have openly encouraged resistance to federal operations. Walz, who served as Kamala Harris's failed running mate in 2024, has repeatedly called Trump's deportation efforts "un-American" and urged Minnesotans to "resist by any means necessary."
Multiple administration officials have rallied behind the President's strong stance, with several calling for federal investigations into whether Democratic rhetoric constitutes incitement to violence against federal agents.
This latest attack exposes the hypocrisy of Democrats who spent years screaming about "insurrection" while now actively encouraging violence against law enforcement officers simply doing their jobs. Where's the wall-to-wall media coverage? Where are the congressional hearings?
The attempted assassination of federal officers represents exactly what happens when Democrats prioritize protecting illegal aliens over the safety of American law enforcement. How many more officers need to be attacked before Democrats stop their dangerous incitement?
