Minneapolis is burning with righteous fury stripped raw of nuance after the ICE-involved shooting that left Renee Nicole Good dead earlier this month, and Americans are watching in anger as Democrat leaders spin and excuse chaos instead of enforcing the law. Footage and reporting show tense encounters between federal officers and crowds, with demonstrators blocking vehicles and hurling fireworks and projectiles at agents sent to do a dangerous job. The city’s downtown has seen nightly confrontations that would be intolerable in any community that values order and safety.
Federal law enforcement has reported physical attacks on agents and arrests of armed agitators who showed up ready to escalate violence, making a mockery of narratives that paint these mobs as harmless “peaceful protesters.” DHS officials confirmed assaults on officers and arrests after officers were ambushed, and local commanders have had to use crowd-control measures to prevent further bloodshed. This isn’t about speech; it’s about people plotting to intimidate and injure the federal employees who enforce our laws.
President Trump’s warning that he may invoke the Insurrection Act to restore order in Minnesota was slammed by coastal elites and career pundits as extreme, but any leader who loves this country should be prepared to use every lawful tool to protect citizens and federal officers. The Insurrection Act is an eighteenth-century guardrail for modern breakdowns of authority, and presidents of both parties have used extraordinary powers to reassert the rule of law when local governments surrendered the streets. If state officials refuse to stop political theater and let mobs attack federal personnel, Washington has a duty to act.
Minnesota’s Democratic leaders have been predictably performative — calling for calm while simultaneously demonizing federal agents and encouraging activists who block law enforcement. Governor Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey have begged for de-escalation, but their rhetoric and the city’s policies created a vacuum that invited violence and left hardworking residents vulnerable. Republicans in Washington are split about invoking the Act, but the real split is between those who want order and those who profit politically from chaos.
Make no mistake: ICE agents don’t wake up wanting headlines. They do dangerous, thankless work to stop traffickers, rapists, and violent criminal aliens from preying on American neighborhoods. When the Left turns targeting federal officers into a policy platform, it’s not protest — it’s intimidation, and the first duty of government is to protect its people and the people who protect them. Conservative Americans should stand unapologetically with law enforcement and reject the moral inversion that treats attackers as victims.
Calling for federal help in the face of lawlessness isn’t authoritarianism — it’s patriotism. The alternative is a slow surrender of our towns to those who would replace liberty with mob rule and who weaponize compassion into chaos. Leaders who hesitate in that moment are not showing prudence; they are betting the safety of ordinary citizens on fashionable ideology.
This is a test of will and values. If Republicans want to govern, they must stop equivocating and support decisive enforcement, hold local officials accountable, and ensure federal officers have the backing they deserve. Americans who work, pay taxes, and want safe streets will remember who protected them when the choice was between order and anarchy.
