[ April 11, 2026 ]
Rioters smashed the doors of the federal courthouse in downtown Minneapolis while chanting “ICE OUT NOW!”—as leftist organizers mobilized thousands more protesters at the site of the ICE-involved shooting, screaming “RISE UP.” This chaos did not erupt spontaneously. It was fueled by deliberate incitement from Democrat officials and activists who know exactly what they are doing.
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz openly urged Americans to take to the streets, telling crowds in Portland, Los Angeles, Chicago, and beyond to “stand with us” against federal enforcement. Instead of calling for calm or ordering an end to the obstruction and assault of federal officers, he encouraged mass protest against the Trump administration—while Minneapolis leaders told ICE to “get the f*ck out” and Democrat candidates urged people to put their “bodies on the line.” This is not de-escalation. It is mobilization.
What is unfolding is not protest—it is organized insurrection. Large networks of leftist extremists and self-described communists coordinated all-day harassment of ICE agents, following them, blockading roads, filming confrontations, and provoking encounters. Video shows agents being stalked for hours. One rioter blockaded the road while others filmed. Four vehicle-ramming incidents occurred in a single day.

DHS Secretary Kristi Noem has accused 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good of stalking ICE agents prior to the fatal shooting. Fox News reports more than a thousand protesters already on the ground in Minnesota, with additional actions planned tonight. This comes amid revelations that the ICE agent involved had previously been struck by a vehicle and dragged by a far-left attacker months earlier.
This is what happens when radical rhetoric is normalized. When leaders crank the temperature to 450 degrees, violence is not hypothetical—it is inevitable. If lives are lost, responsibility does not lie with the officers enforcing the law. It lies with the politicians who lit the fuse.

Holy shit…
Governor Walz just said he is deploying the Minnesota National Guard to protect Minnesotans from “rogue federal agents”, meaning ICE.
This is EXTREMELY dangerous stuff.
I’m talking Civil War Fort Sumter.

You are not a political party anymore. You incite violence against Federal law enforcement. You invite violent protest. The rest of America is finished negotiating with you.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer , D-N.Y., said Wednesday he “salutes” protesters following an ICE-involved shooting in Minnesota, while calling for a full investigation into the incident.
Schumer told reporters he had seen video of the shooting, which involved an ICE officer who fired after a woman allegedly drove her vehicle into him.

“It just turns your stomach,” Schumer said. “We need a quick and full investigation to get to the bottom of this.”
When questioned about protests that followed the shooting, Schumer emphasized the right to demonstrate while condemning violence.
“There should never be violence,” he said. “But protest is an American right. When things like this happen, people feel the need to protest and their right to do it. We salute them doing it.”
The Department of Homeland Security has described the incident as an act of domestic terrorism.

It would be nice if Walz and Mayor advised their constituents to follow the law and not encourage them by inciting violence. Going against federal agents should be punishable and those encouraging such acts should be held accountable. https://t.co/G6tLxeOQ8y

Holy shit. There it is.
Instead of telling his constituents to stop impeding/assaulting federal law enforcement, Walz is encouraging the public to go out and protest Trump and his administration.
