"Tensions have risen in the city since the killing of 37-year-old Renee Good at the hands of an ICE agent. In the wake of that incident, even more demonstrators have taken to the streets to protest the presence of ICE. The Trump administration has deployed thousands of agents into the city amid claims of widespread migrant-related fraud. On Thursday morning, Trump claimed on Truth Social that he would use the Insurrection Act allowing him to deploy U.S. military troops into the city."
"And it's truly shameful that now, for more than a year, you've had elected Democrat governors and mayors who have basically held their state and local law enforcement hostage, Leavitt said, And told them, you cannot cooperate with federal law enforcement. Why? They cooperated under the Biden administration. It's because these Democrats are deranged in their hatred for President Trump, and they are holding their state and local law enforcement hostage as a result;"
Tensions in Minneapolis rose after the killing of 37-year-old Renee Good by an ICE agent. Demonstrators intensified protests against ICE presence. The Trump administration deployed thousands of agents to Minneapolis citing widespread migrant-related fraud. President Trump posted on Truth Social that he would use the Insurrection Act to deploy U.S. military troops into the city if lawmakers did not stop protesters from interfering with ICE operations. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt blamed Democratic governors and mayors for holding state and local law enforcement 'hostage' by refusing cooperation with federal law enforcement and called Democrats deranged in their hatred for President Trump. Minnesota Governor Tim Walz criticized the administration and appealed to lower tensions.
