Another night of utter chaos in Minneapolis. And the most frustrating part, all of this was totally avoidable. If only law enforcement and ICE had been permitted to simply make the arrests that they are legally entitled to and charged with making. Uh there was an illegal immigrant involved here and they tried to arrest this guy and instead of just being allowed to do it, they have been subjected like all the ICE officers in Minneapolis to non-stop harassment from far-left wannabe warriors. It's like these fat, unattractive, gross people who were too chicken to actually sign up for the military and be true tough guys and gals have decided to find their courage. um through their rolls of lard on the streets of Minneapolis. I'm sorry, but that's what's happening. Um it's like nose ring central and they're super super tough talking into their iPhone and then going out there and shouting in ICE's face.
And then what happens when ICE actually has to arrest them is they wind up cowering in fear and crying like little babies. Like you saw the woman yesterday who was all tough talk until they actually tried to get her car out of the road and then she said, "I'm just a mom. I'm I'm just a mom. We have more of that today. Okay, but here's what happened last night. According to the Department of Homeland Security, it all started just before 7 p.m. local when federal law enforcement conducted a targeted traffic stop of an illegal immigrant.
Why was he even on the streets of Minneapolis? One might ask. One sane person might ask. Joe Biden's administration released him into the country over three years ago. Rather than comply with officers demands, the suspect fled the scene and ended up crashing into a parked car. A pursuit on foot then ensued and the officer caught up to the illegal who then resisted arrest and violently attacked the officer. As Trump once famously said, "They're not sending their best." Two other individuals came out of a nearby apartment. They decided to join the fight. Was it on the side of the law enforcement officer making a proper arrest? No, of course not. This is Minneapolis. They decided to help the illegal immigrant attack the officer, joining in with a snow shovel and a broom handle. Now it's three against one. DHS described the attack as an ambush. In the scuffle, the original suspect got a hold of the shovel and the
broomstick and began beating the officer with them. The officer fired one defensive shot. This is what the left has asked for. Hitting the initial suspect in the leg. This is what they're supposed to want. All three individuals who attacked the officer then fled to a nearby apartment and barricaded themselves inside. The attackers were eventually taken into custody as eventually they all are when they engage in this kind of behavior. And both the illegal immigrant who was shot and the officer sadly are now in the hospital.
We believe at this hour neither has been discharged. DHS writing in a statement, quote, "This attack on another brave member of law enforcement took place while Minnesota's top leaders, Governor Walls and Mayor Fry are actively encouraging an organized resistance to ICE and federal law enforcement officers. their hateful rhetoric and resistance against men and women who are simply trying to do their jobs must end despite the tension between local and federal officers officers. Uh Minneapolis police chief Brian O'Hara spoke at a press conference last night and largely backed up DHS's account of the shooting. Watch.
At 6:51 p.m., Minneapolis police received a 911 call reporting a shooting on the 600 block of 24 Avenue North. Preliminary information indicates that there was a struggle with a federal agent in front of the resident. During the struggle, the federal agent discharged his weapon, striking one adult male. The adult male then retreated inside of the residence uh where he remained inside and refused to come out. Eventually, federal agents made entry into the residence and the individual was brought to an ambulance where he has been transported to the hospital.
Minneapolis police have secured the crime scene around the location and the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension as well as the FBI are on the scene processing the evidence. I believe there's a broom and like a snow shovel that's on the scene and uh yes, I have heard information that um that some individual at least one person may have assaulted federal law enforcement. Yes.
Oh, you you don't say. We might want to share that with the New York Times um because they're not convinced. Publishing a story with the headline, "Federal agent shoots immigrant in Minneapolis." Homeland Security says nothing about the fact that he was being attacked by that immigrant and two others. Zero mention that the suspect was an illegal immigrant. Um just an immigrant. Just immigrant. Just like some random minding his own business immigrant like could have been Elon Musk. just an immigrant. Nothing about him being an illegal. Nothing about the shovel. Nothing about the broom handle.
And now today, this morning, look at this. The New York Times wasn't satisfied with this headline. It actually had to go back and edit it again. Did they add in broom handle? Did they add in shovel? Did they add in illegal? No. They took out the word immigrant. Now it's federal agent shoots man in Minneapolis, prompting tense protests. Just man, like an American. It was an American basically. Uh it was just some random man minding his own business who got shot by the evil ICE that. So now he's not an immigrant, let alone an illegal immigrant, let alone an illegal immigrant who was beating the cop with a shovel and a broomstick and had the help of two other illegals or witnesses. In the body of the story, it also takes issue with DHS's version of the events leading up to the shooting. Quote, "The federal government's narrative could not be immediately verified." Hello. The police chief corroborated virtually all
of it on camera. We just played part of it for you. Do a little work. New York Times, just a little little bit of effort. By the way, not for nothing, but there is a viral clip online where Mayor Fry is talking about how, you know, there are there are people in this town, he's sympathetic with them, the pe the ones protesting ICE, who who want the Minneapolis police to to fight ICE on the ground. And you see this same police chief with his eyebrows go up to the ceiling. This is as high as mine can go thanks to my Botox. But trust me, his went even higher. He got all sorts of lines that I'm not capable of getting anymore thanks to all the poison in my forehead. But trust me, his eyes went up and there were lines. You could see the police chief was like, "Eh, maybe we don't highlight that." Like, what? And also, that's not an idea that will ever be will ever come to fruition. We will not be fighting ICE officers. You can
see it in his face. So, there's no local leadership. There's no leadership whatsoever to turn down the temperature. uh last night or any other night in this thing. Around 200 protesters as a result began gathering at the scene of you know the poor man quote just man being shot by the evil ICE officer and began additional attacks on law enforcement shooting fireworks at both the local and the federal cops and reportedly throwing snowballs at immigration agents. Take a look at this video by independent journalist Nick Sorder of protesters attacking a federal vehicle and going for what could possibly go wrong. It's weapons locker.
What's up? Great. And here's what the radicals had to say about what they pulled out of the federal vehicle.
One of the ICE agent vehicles got broken into and I found this paperwork. It has a list with FBI operation info. It's got full names of FBI agents, phone numbers, emails. There's maps on where they're staying, where they're holding immigrants. There's hotel names in there. There's judge names.
This paperwork has people's full names and their emails, and she's showing it all on camera. By the way, they did appear to get the weapons out of the weapons locker. Here it is in S 13A.
He's hammering at it. Oh wow. Oh my god. Oh my god. Bullet. Here come bullet. Great.
We saw the rifle. Now they're finding the ammo. And they start pulling law enforcement patches out of the container that was holding the weapons. Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Fry, a Democrat, spoke last night and tried to claim the moral high ground on this. Okay. suggesting like his messaging on all this has been picture perfect. He's been the the the model of calm, sober leadership. But we're just going to do a little quick comparison uh between the comments he made last night versus those he made just days ago.
So the question was uh there has been the accusation that local officials have uh perhaps taken up the temperature in Minneapolis. At first, I'll say, "Show me a single place where I have encouraged anything other than peace." And I have a message for ICE to ICE. Get the out of Minneapolis. Oh. Oh, I guess that was just He was asking for support for ICE there. So, what about Minnesota Governor Tim Walls? Well, last night he was busy giving a special prime time address. He hasn't missed one minute of this. He's loving this. It's distracting from his allowance at a minimum of all the fraud happening in his state. This is a much better narrative for him. The evil ICE has invaded Minnesota and is harassing innocent victims. Those are lies, but he's telling them similar different kind of fraud, frankly. Um, so he's he's been all over the cameras and last night he decided to hold a prime time address
where things didn't go exactly as planned when he was speaking live. Check out the audio on this. The federal government is raining down upon our communities in Minnesota. 2 to 3,000 armed agents of the federal government deployed to Minnesota armed masked and disrupted undertrained ICE agents are going door to door ordering people to point out to where the federal government. They're pulling over people including US citizens. Just for the viewers at home, this is what we can get out. Um, this is what we call uh mix minus in our ears as anchors when like you're doing a live hit in the field and you're you're saying tonight at Andrew's Air Force Base the following and then like 3 seconds after you say it, you hear in your ear tonight at Andrew's Air Force Base and it's nearly impossible to do. If you ever see a reporter rip the earpiece out of his or her ear, that's what's happening to them. It seems to
have happened somehow on the live audio feed, which is a new new issue. I've never seen that happen. Uh, I don't know what it was, but it was a disaster. They eventually figured it out and then they posted the the proper remarks on YouTube. And uh, when we could finally understand Governor Walsh, we heard some of the most inflammatory rhetoric about the feds from a sitting governor since like the Civil War. Take a look.
What's happening in Minnesota right now defies belief. News reports simply don't do justice to the level of chaos and disruption and trauma the federal government is raining down upon our communities. Two to three,000 armed agents of the federal government have been deployed to Minnesota. Armed, masked, undertrained ICE agents are going doortodoor.
Ordering people to point out where their neighbors of color live. They're pulling over people indiscriminately, including US citizens, and demanding to see their papers. And at grocery stores, at bus stops, even at our schools, they're breaking windows, dragging pregnant women down the street, just plain grabbing motans and shoving them into unmarked vans, kidnapping innocent people with no warning and no due process. Let's be very, very clear. This long ago stopped being a matter of immigration enforcement. Instead, it's a campaign of organized brutality against the people of Minnesota by our own federal government.
