Former Acting DHS Secretary Chad Wolf was exactly right on Newsmax’s Wake Up America when he urged Americans to let the Minneapolis investigation play out without political interference. The tragic death during the ICE operation demands facts, not the fevered commentary and instant conclusions we’ve seen from local leaders. Wolf reminded viewers that investigations take time and the nation deserves a full, uninterrupted accounting of what happened.
Wolf also made the uncomfortable but necessary point that sanctuary-style policies and anti-enforcement posturing from city and state leaders create dangerous conditions for federal officers and the public. When local officials restrict cooperation, federal agents are forced to operate in uncontrolled street settings instead of secure, jail-based transfers, increasing the odds of chaos. Conservatives should not apologize for defending common-sense enforcement measures that protect neighborhoods and keep violent criminals where they belong.
What we should reject outright is the rush to politicize tragedy for headlines and campaign talking points. Mayors and governors who grandstand hours after a shooting — before cameras and before investigators have finished their work — reveal their priorities: optics over the truth and political theater over public safety. That kind of reflexive virtue signaling only makes Americans less safe and emboldens the radicals who chase chaos.
Letting the investigation proceed doesn’t mean blind faith in officials; it means demanding accountability through proper channels rather than mob pressure. Wolf emphasized that officers must make split-second life-or-death decisions and that a full review of evidence and context is essential before we adjudicate blame. Americans who love law and order should insist on thorough, transparent probes and then hold anyone who violated the law to account.
Meanwhile, Washington should stop playing political hot potato and focus on fixing the real problems that led to this moment: disjointed federal-state cooperation, weak border enforcement, and sanctuary policies that invite confrontation. If you care about your family’s safety and the rule of law, demand leaders who will back our officers with clear policies and resources instead of undermining them for petty political gain. The safety of our communities depends on common sense, not the next soundbite.
In the days ahead conservatives must stand for both justice and order — insist on a full, uninterrupted investigation, defend the truth when it emerges, and hold political opportunists to account. We can mourn any loss of life while still insisting that law enforcement be supported, evidence be examined, and lawbreakers be prosecuted. Let the facts come out, then let America judge, so we can move forward stronger and safer.
