Enforcing Federal Law – One City at a Time
Under the Trump Administration, there are consequences for unlawful behavior. The professional protesters and anarchists in states like Minnesota are having a difficult time adjusting.
The mission remains and the only question is whether city and state leaders are ready to get out of the way of federal officers who are targeting criminals.
It is always tragic when people lose their lives, even when it’s a result of misguided belief that they can attack law enforcement and win. Had the three incidents where protesters were shot instead resulted in federal law enforcement officers losing their lives, I doubt we would see the same outrage from activists, Gov. Waltz or Mayor Frey.
Why are the leaders of Minnesota fighting back? In addition to the criminal illegal immigrants hiding in neighborhoods, investigations are closing in on unprecendented fraud and abuse of federal programs benefitting illegal immigrants and elected leaders whose bank accounts have ballooned in recent years. They are protecting their supporters, and their wallets.
The people who are protesting so aggressively are well organized with expensive gas masks, refreshments for their comrades, and a communication system that allows them to appear on demand – even at a church to intimidate peaceful worshipers and their children.
The disinformation perpetrated by Walz and Frey has worsened the tension in their city. They used a 5 year-old who was abandoned by his parents to foment rage against ICE officers, and claimed that walking out of a donut shop will get you shot. Meanwhile one of their “peaceful protesters” bites off the finger of a federal agent.
At a press conference covering the most recent shooting of Alex Pretti, Waltz and Frey failed to mention that this man was carrying a semi-automatic pistol with two extra clips and fought aggressively with several CBP agents before they were forced to fire a defensive shot. Pretti’s parents said he was carrying the weapon lawfully, but rarely did in public. They admitted they begged him not to go to the protest to engage ICE. Why was he at a violent protest with a gun and extra ammo?? ICE agents have had to survive snipers shooting at them from rooftops. They never know when that will happen again.
The media is complicit in inciting violence as well. Our local KCRA TV described the circumstances of Renee Good’s death as follows: “The shooting happened amid widespread daily protests in the Twin Cities since the Jan. 7 shooting of 37-year-old Renee Good, who was killed when an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer fired into her vehicle.” And in an earlier special alert KCRA described Good’s status as a women who was blocking the road with her vehicle. Nothing was said in their report about Good ramming a federal law enforcement officer with her vehicle. By omission, that is disinformation.
It’s no wonder people get mad and protest when they are not given the whole story, including the crimes committed by the illegal immigrants ICE is trying to arrest. The dedicated resisters don’t care, but those in the criminal’s neighborhood are, no doubt, feeling safer.
The only option the feds have is to stay the course and get the job done, removing criminal illegal immigrants in city after city. The organized protests will continue and our brave law enforcement officers will do their job in a very dangerous environment thanks to the media, paid agitators, and virtue signaling politicians.
Meanwhile, it seems that removing criminals from cities across the USA, and projecting a strong determination to enforce the law, has led to reduced crime. Imagine that!
Statement on January 22, 2026 from President Trump:
“ICYMI: Murder Rate Plunges to 125-Year Low as President Trump Restores Law and Order”
“Under President Donald J. Trump’s leadership, America is safer than it has been in over a century — and brand new data proves it. A new report shows the murder rate across the nation’s biggest cities plummeted last year to its lowest level since at least 1900, marking the biggest one-year drop in recorded history.
This monumental turnaround is a direct result of President Trump’s unwavering commitment to Make America Safe Again. In addition to the historic drop in murders last year, the nation experienced steep declines in rapes, robberies, aggravated assaults, shooting deaths (fewest since 2015), on-duty law enforcement officer deaths (80-year low), traffic fatalities, and overdose deaths.
President Trump is reversing the chaos and carnage unleashed by Radical Left Democrats who turned our streets into war zones by coddling criminals and opening our borders. Since taking office, President Trump has deployed a whole-of-government offensive in Democrat-run cities, driving down crime, ridding the streets of savage criminal illegal aliens, backing law enforcement, and bringing back order where incompetent Democrat politicians surrendered to anarchy and despair.”
Cartels, fraudsters and their donors are on notice. We know that law-abiding people who live in crime-ridden areas are pleased that crime is being curtailed. We don’t see them shouting appreciation because it’s too risky to do so…for now.
