Minneapolis has been plunged into unrest after a high-profile ICE operation turned deadly, leaving one woman dead and residents terrified of federal forces patrolling their streets. What began as a targeted immigration enforcement effort quickly spiraled into nightly clashes between protesters and federal agents, with neighborhoods that deserve peace instead becoming battlegrounds.
President Trump has warned he may invoke the Insurrection Act to restore order if state and local leaders do not rein in the chaos infecting the city. That is not a threat born of bravado but of necessity when elected officials refuse to protect their own citizens and federal law enforcement is actively attacked while trying to do their jobs.
The Department of Homeland Security has poured agents into Minneapolis and reports the operation has led to thousands of arrests as they pursue people who have entered the country unlawfully and others who have escalated confrontations. The federal presence was intended to enforce laws that Minneapolis’ leadership has been unwilling or unable to enforce, and the fallout has predictably become a political circus.
Local officials from the governor’s mansion to city hall have publicly blasted the federal response, insisting the occupation makes the situation worse even as their own policies have hollowed out public safety. It is telling that leadership more comfortable in press conferences than policing now lectures the rest of the country about restraint while their citizens pay the price.
Liz Collin of Alpha News—who has been on the front lines reporting from Minneapolis and exposing the messy truth the mainstream hides—told Greta van Susteren that the scenes playing out are “frankly embarrassing” for the city. Journalists like Collin are sounding the alarm because hardworking Minnesotans are watching their neighborhoods deteriorate while elites posture and politicize tragedy instead of demanding accountability.
Let’s be clear: this is a direct consequence of soft-on-crime, sanctuary-friendly policies and a culture that rewards agitators and excuses lawlessness. Conservatives are right to call for a restoration of basic order and respect for the rule of law; tolerating violence on the streets in the name of political theater betrays every decent resident who just wants to live and work in safety.
If invoking the Insurrection Act becomes necessary, so be it—nothing is more patriotic than protecting American lives and property from those who seek to tear them down. The federal government’s duty is to defend the Constitution and the people, and when local leaders abdicate that duty, the president must consider every lawful tool to stop the descent into anarchy.
To patriots across this country: don’t be fooled by the howls of those who profit from chaos. Stand with the men and women in uniform and hold your elected officials to account; demand leaders who will secure your streets, respect the law, and put American families first.
