The riots in Minneapolis have escalated in recent weeks in response to two shootings involving ICE and Border Patrol agents reacting to violent agitators who were either armed or attempting to inflict severe bodily injury upon law enforcement.
In both scenarios, Renee Good and Alex Pretti were attempting to obstruct law enforcement from carrying out their official duties.
They were unquestionably in the wrong. In the case of Renee Good, an ICE agent acted out of self-defense when she tried to run him over with her car. Video evidence clearly showed Good as being the aggressor.
For Pretti, video evidence also confirms that he arrived at the scene as an agitator who tried to interrupt or obstruct the deportation operation from taking place.
A Border Patrol agent responded to an imminent threat to life, and video evidence supports this, with Pretti pictured showing up at the scene of the incident, claiming to be armed and with the intention to “massacre” ICE and CBP agents, as he motioned toward what looked like a weapon of some kind.
Both deaths are tragic. But they are tragic not in the way the legacy media would like Americans to believe, they are tragic because they could have been avoided but for the irresponsible management of these situations by political leadership.
Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey failed their state and city, respectively. Rather than lower the temperature, both leaders added to the inflammatory rhetoric, which had the effect of inciting the crowd and causing more unnecessary mayhem.
The only reason there is a national spotlight on ICE and Border Patrol nowadays is because deportations are a core component of President Trump’s domestic policy agenda, and arguably the top one or two reasons why he won a landslide election victory in November of 2024.
Americans simply dislike illegal immigration. They especially dislike it on the unspeakable scale that was allowed to take place under the four years Joe Biden served as president, resulting in an unprecedented border invasion that resulted in at least 20 million illegal aliens entering the homeland.
