Inching Toward Civil War... David Strom 2:00 PM | January 15, 2026 AP Photo/Damian Dovarganes, file My Mayor, in a press conference, explained why he has not been able to send the Minneapolis Police Department to fight ICE agents as they enforce the law. It's not that doing so would be an insurrection. It's because he doesn't have enough officers to fight back.

The look of surprise when Frey suggested that deploying the police against federal law enforcement officers was on the table is actually pretty precious. 🚨 State Sen. Bobby Joe Champion (D) says last night's vicious assault of an ICE agent "is just an example of Minnesota being a place where we help our neighbors."

We would like your answer on the record. — Kristi L. Talmadge (@KristiTalmadge) January 14, 2026 At various times, Frey, Walz, and other Minnesota Democrats have encouraged actual violent action against ICE agents, and after a riot at which a Venezuelan gang member was shot yesterday, they both encouraged more people to go out and harass ICE, knowing how volatile the situation is.

My State Senator, Bobby Joe Champion, explained that using weapons against ICE agents is justified, and no doubt he means it. Just as Walz...
