"Tim Walz should have come out right away and said, everybody be calm, withhold your judgment. We know that this is a very sensitive matter. Let law enforcement do their work. Then the director of public safety should have been on right after that and instead of giving a list of what you can do to peacefully protest, quote unquote, he should have come out and said there will be no violence, there will no property destruction. If you do that on our streets, we will hold you accountable and you will be arrested, Emmer said."

Rep. Tom Emmer accused Governor Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey of fomenting violence amid protests following an ICE agent's shooting of Renee Good. Emmer appeared on Fox & Friends Weekend and criticized local leaders for not immediately urging calm and for offering limited guidance on protests. Police in Minneapolis declared an unlawful assembly and detained dozens of protesters after large street demonstrations. Reporters documented a small group breaking into a downtown hotel, damaging furniture, and spray-painting anti-ICE messages. Emmer labeled Frey a "boy toy mayor" and called for clear public-safety enforcement against violence and property destruction.
