Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey Shrugs Off Assaults on ICE Agents: They Are Standing Up for Neighbors

Townhall 

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey defended violent protests targeting Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers, describing them simply as people “stand[ing] up for their neighbors,” even as he was informed that obstructing federal law enforcement, not to mention assaulting officers, is a federal crime.

"You're seeing it in real time. You are aware that 18 U.S.C. § 111 makes it a federal crime to impede, interfere, or even assault officers," the Fox News host told Mayor Frey. "And we see the protesters crossing the line of protesting, throwing rocks, hitting cars, and interfering in the federal government's view of their operation of carrying out federal immigration law enforcement."

"We have had perhaps tens of thousands of people peacefully protesting in the streets," Frey replied. "And at the same time, yeah, they are going to stand up for their neighbors."

This comes amid a more than 1,100 percent increase in assaults on ICE agents from January 21 to November 21, 2025, with 238 reported assaults in 2025 versus 19 in the same period in 2024. DHS and ICE have also publicly stated that vehicle attacks on ICE officers increased by 3,200 percent over the past year. And yet people like Mayor Frey still contend that the protests are for a good cause.

Here are some clips of Minneapolis residents "“stand[ing] up for their neighbors.”

This all culminated in the tragic death of Renee Good, a “protester” who recklessly put not only her own life at risk but also the lives of the ICE officers she confronted, including the agent she struck with her vehicle. Such behavior cannot be excused as “stand[ing] up for your neighbors.” True civic courage involves protecting and respecting the safety of others, not creating chaos and endangering lives. 

Good’s actions serve as a stark reminder that reckless defiance of the law has real, fatal consequences, and that glorifying such behavior under the guise of activism is both dangerous and irresponsible. But since when has a Democrat ever cared about that?

Venezuelan Man Shot After Assaulting ICE Agent With Shovel

Townhall 

A Venezuelan national was shot after attacking a federal law enforcement officer with a shovel, the Department of Homeland Security announced on Wednesday.

According to a DHS statement to Fox News, the Venezuelan national was reportedly subject to a “target traffic stop” by federal agents. The illegal alien then attempted to evade capture using his vehicle before crashing into a parked car. The individual then attempted to flee on foot.

An agent managed to apprehend the individual during the ensuing chase. The Venezuelan national then began resisting arrest and “violently assault[ed]” the arresting officer. Two more individuals then exited a nearby residence and began assisting the Venezuelan national in the assault on the officer while wielding a snow shovel and broom handle.

During the incident, the Venezuelan national managed to obtain one of the weapons and began attacking the officer.

The officer fired his weapon at his attacker and struck the individual in the leg.

The group then retreated back into the residence and barricaded themselves inside before being taken into custody. Both the officer and the Venezuelan national have been hospitalized.

“This attack on another brave member of law enforcement took place while Minnesota’s top leaders, Governor Walz and Mayor Frey, are actively encouraging an organized resistance to ICE and federal law enforcement officers,” DHS said in a statement.

“Their hateful rhetoric and resistance against men and women who are simply trying to do their jobs must end. Federal law enforcement officers are facing a 1,300% increase in assaults against them as they put their lives on the line to arrest criminals and lawbreakers.”

Anti-ICE protests quickly broke out after the assault on the officer occurred. The protestors surrounded the scene and began harassing officers. Crowd control tactics were employed soon after.

JD Vance Delivers a Savage Schooling to Former Anchor About Obama Deportations

RedState 

You may recall ABC News' Terry Moran, who was let go from the network after making posts about President Donald Trump and advisor Stephen Miller being "world-class haters." 

ABC decided not to renew his contract, saying his posts violated their policies about objectivity. 

But that was the same guy who they had on for years, presenting us with the "news." 

His profile now defines him as an "independent journalist." But his post about immigration enforcement and Barack Obama again showed the mask was off. 

Barack Obama deported more than 3 million people from this country while he was president. No masked gangs descending on neighborhoods, snatching ordinary working people from their cars and disappearing them, storming homes without judicial warrants. This is just force, not law.

There's a ton of stuff wrong with that post. 

Vice President JD Vance schooled him on a couple of the big points. 

Vance educated Moran with some facts:

This argument is just entirely fake, for two reasons. 

1) In the Obama administration, they counted being turned away at the border as a deportation. A person would show up, be sent back, and counted as a deportation. We have to do deportations from the interior of the country because Biden and Harris let them walk in. 

2) In the cities that are not sanctuary cities, the deportation process is orderly and normal--like most law enforcement. In Minneapolis and a few other sanctuary jurisdictions, local jurisdictions and a few leftwing agitators have decided to wage war on all immigration enforcement officers.  They are hoping that a little chaos will convince us to give up on immigration enforcement. They are wrong.

Trump actually has the border infinitely more secure than it was under Obama. They basically have completely shut it down. So they don't have the number coming across that Obama could use to jack up the number and call them "deportations." Sending people back at the border was counted as a "deportation," which even Obama acknowledged was a bit "deceptive." 

Part of the issue is also created by Democrats, because they refuse to cooperate with federal immigration agents. The agents wouldn't have to go into the communities to pick up the illegal aliens if Democrats in sanctuary jurisdictions would detain them in jail for ICE to pick up. Then, too, if local police were allowed to assist in providing some measure of traffic control and safety, you wouldn't have as many people impeding or ramming vehicles. 

Democrats are making the situation more dangerous and confrontational with their harmful policies. And they're whipping up anger, which is why you have activists out impeding the agents. No one is being "disappeared." 

As I wrote earlier, it's ironic and pretty hypocritical. Obama actually had them going into neighborhoods and picking up families - moms and children. But the Left that's screaming their heads off now were largely silent then. 

A journalist would see the problems being created here by Democrats and try to hold them accountable. 

Good on Vance for laying some facts on Moran. 

Renee Good Is Just Dems’ Excuse To Oppose Law Enforcement And Maintain Mass Welfare Fraud

The Federalist

A week after the death of anti-ICE agitator Renee Nicole Good, we’re watching Democrats do what they always do when they know they hold an unpopular position. They make up an endless series of excuses for why they also want what’s good for the country, but they just don’t want it done the way it’s being done by the people who are actually trying to fix a problem.

Democrat Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, most memorably seen trying to choke down a bowl of Somali slop last year, was on Fox News this week doing just that with regard to federal law enforcement doing their job in his city. “We are willing to work with people when it’s about murder and when it’s about crime, but the truth is this ain’t about that,” he said. “If this were about that, we’d have many important areas where there would be areas where we could work together. This, however, is the largest immigration enforcement action on record in the United States.” Then, with a straight face, he said, “Why is the largest scale immigration enforcement action taking place where we don’t even have that many undocumented immigrants?”

Setting aside that perhaps Minneapolis needs special attention right now in light of billions of taxpayer dollars being stolen by Somalis occupying the city and who barely speak English, “crime” is not exclusive to murder and other forms of extreme violence. It includes theft, fraud, and, no less important, residing in the country illegally — even if an effete Democrat mayor says it’s fine.

No matter how you cut it, the Democrat position is in support of fraud and in opposition to immigration enforcement — so long as they’re not found out.

After Minnesota gained national attention last month over the obscene welfare schemes perpetuated by Somalis using fake child care and health care businesses — all but certainly with the assistance of elected Democrat officials — Gov. Tim Walz, Kamala Harris’s personal charity case, did a similar dance. “[A]s long as there are programs aimed at helping people, there will be fraudulent actors looking to steal from those who need help the most,” Walz wrote in a newspaper op-ed at the time. “Our job is to stay one step ahead of them. What is not helpful is the president of the United States demonizing an entire community or pardoning someone single-handedly responsible for $1.6 billion in fraud.”

The way this works is simple. Democrats take perfunctory steps to give the appearance that they genuinely care about laws and rules that make life at least fair for Americans. Meanwhile they’re either ignoring existing laws, refusing to enforce them, or otherwise inventing new ones that allow them to effectively buy votes by way of importing destitute foreigners they can load up with welfare. And that’s when they’re not excusing rampant welfare fraud or participating in the fraud themselves.

They talk about Renee Nicole Good like they’re sad about a woman who is now dead (for interfering with law enforcement operations). They don’t care. They’re using her to defend their ongoing scams.

Democrats Respond To RFK With New Food Pentagram

Babylon Bee🐝 

WASHINGTON, D.C. — In response to the new food pyramid released Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Democrats have released an alternative food pentagram.

The pentagram breaks down the recommended diet into five primary food groups, advising Americans to eat an equal share of seed oils, vaccinations, insects, soy milk, and Somali food.

"The food pentagram brings back all the science RFK took out, and so much more," explained food pentagram architect Representative Maxine Dexter. "Unlike the uneven pyramid, we chose the perfect balance of the pentagram. No more trying to figure out how much to eat of which food. Every meal consists of exactly the same amount of all five food groups. It's the perfect balance of mRNA, oil, grasshoppers, soy, and Somali food. Delicious!"

Democrats have unveiled several example meals to help give Americans an idea of what the ideal diet looks like. "For a complete breakfast, enjoy a nice cup of soy milk, a bowl of crickets, and a Covid booster," explained Dexter. "For lunch, it's bariis ishkukaris, a glass of canola oil, and dung beetles. Round off your day with more soy milk, cambuulo, and for a special treat, a hepatitis vaccine."

At publishing time, Satanists had distanced themselves from the food pentagram.
