A few weeks ago, a reckless anti-ICE protester was sadly shot and killed while obstructing a federal law enforcement operation in Minneapolis, but despite determined deception by the Democrat Media Complex to paint it has cold blooded murder, the tragic episode failed to ignite widespread backlash when it became apparent, she ran her vehicle at and hit an ICE officer. This past weekend another Minneapolis anti-ICE demonstrator was tragically shot and killed in a chaotic altercation with ICE officers.

The Democrat Media Complex has already rushed to judgement, but while we wait on an investigation, the videos are disturbing and shocking to average Americans. An investigation may exonerate the ICE Officers, or they may be found culpable for an unjustified killing. It’s a senseless death regardless of the outcome, but the real sinister shame is that leftist agitators have been orchestrating the riots and coordinating attacks on federal law enforcement to create non-stop chaos desperately hoping for another awful video that will upset average folks.

Americans like law and order and do not like lawlessness, but they also don’t like seeing any overreach by law enforcement. Again, the investigation of this unfortunate incident is just getting started, but leftist radicals don’t care about any investigation, facts, or truth. They only want a disturbing image they can exploit or even lie about to advance their narrative. Their sole goal at any cost is to undermine the rule of law and thwart federal immigration laws.

Americans are aghast at all the scenes coming out of Minnesota, but they have questions. Why are riots only happening in Minneapolis? Quite simply because other states are cooperating with ICE, so operations are safer and smoother. Minnesota does not cooperate with ICE which is problematic, but Minnesota needs illegal immigrants for the 2030 census to keep a Congressional seat, and riots are a convenient distraction from billions in Democrat enabled Somali fraud.

Hard working Americans wonder who are these people that can protest and riot everyday and all night. Some are clearly crazy, but most of the protesters and rioters are at work. They are getting paid to protest and riot by leftist NGOs that are usually laundering taxpayer money or doing the bidding of hostile foreign actors. Some are misled, many are malcontents from around the country, but most are anarchists just spoiling for a fight.

Americans would be incensed if they knew the degree of planning and coordination to attack law enforcement. They are highly organized into tactical and logistical units, they gather intelligence to track police, and they use encrypted communications to coordinate attacks. This is an intentional insurrection.

This is the typical leftist strategy: create devastation and make a huge mess and then demonize and impede anyone who tries to clean it up. Biden opened the borders to an invasion of millions of illegal migrants, but American voters overwhelmingly elected President Trump to secure the border and deport the illegal hordes. Trump is delivering, so Democrats must stop him.

Democrats can’t change the law, and they can’t wait for another election to steal, so their only available tactic is to intimidate and extort Americans with violence. Minnesota Governor Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Frey clearly threatened more violence by encouraging the radicals to face down and stop ICE and then said the only way the riots stop is when the Feds stop enforcing the law. That’s plain insurrection.

The planned and coordinated attacks in Minnesota are obvious insurrection, but sanctuary cities and states have been in open rebellion for years. They are violating federal immigration law and harboring criminals, so all federal funds should be cut off to all sanctuary cities and states until they comply with federal law and cooperate with federal law enforcement.

That’s why Democrats, Hollywood, and Press are lying about ICE and the rioters. Minneapolis may be the linchpin to the sanctuary insurrection. If law and order is not restored in Minnesota, this insane sedition will spread like wildfire to every blue city and state. This new Confederacy will tear the nation apart and could finally destroy our Constitutional Republic,

President Trump is astutely trying to work with Minnesota officials to diffuse the tense situation, which is real leadership, but he cannot back down on illegal immigration. Trump must cut off all federal dollars to sanctuary cities and states until they decide to rejoin the Union and abide by federal law. If he doesn’t, the republic is in jeopardy.

“Do we then overthrow the law by this faith? By no means! On the contrary, we uphold the law” (Romans 3:31).
