"US Vice President JD Vance traveled to Minnesota on Thursday for a high-profile appearance in the Democratic-led state, which has been the epicenter of anti-immigration enforcement protests. The federal government has deployed several thousand Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents, who have repeatedly clashed with angry residents. Tensions in the city have been high since the fatal shooting of 37-year-old Renee Good by an ICE officer, with residents taking to the streets to demand that ICE leave the state."
"The vice president met with ICE agents in Minneapolis. Vance, who has defended the ICE agent responsible for Good's death, blamed "far-left people" and state and local law enforcement officials for the chaos unfolding in the state. Minnesota Governor Tim Walz accused the federal government of being the one causing the turmoil. "Take the show of force off the streets and partner with the state on targeted enforcement of violent offenders instead of random, aggressive confrontation," he wrote on social media."
"School officials and the family's lawyer say the 5-year-old boy was arriving home from preschool when he was taken by federal agents, along with his father, to a detention facility in Texas. The boy is the fourth student from his Minneapolis suburb to be detained by ICE in recent weeks, the Washington Post reported."
