Americans woke up to scenes in Minneapolis that should alarm every patriot who believes in law and order: federal immigration officers conducting major enforcement actions were met with chaos, and two separate fatal encounters have now rocked the city in January. One incident on January 7 left Renée Good dead, and another on January 24 resulted in the death of Alex Pretti, fueling large protests and mounting anger across neighborhoods that simply want to be safe. This is not abstract politics — these are real lives and real danger on our streets.
Former Acting Homeland Security Secretary Chad Wolf told viewers bluntly what many of us have known for months: when local leaders demonize federal law enforcement, they invite violence and disorder. Wolf said Mayor Jacob Frey and Governor Tim Walz should “look in the mirror” for the role their rhetoric played in turning enforcement into a political target, not a public-safety tool. That kind of accountability from a former DHS chief is not partisan noise — it’s a plain statement about consequences.
Let’s be clear: Mayor Frey’s on-camera tirade telling ICE to “get the f— out” and the governor’s publicly hostile posture toward federal officers did not happen in a vacuum. When city halls and statehouses trade responsibility for headline-grabbing attacks on law enforcement, ordinary citizens pay the price with instability and fear. Leaders who pander to mobs instead of protecting residents should be held responsible for the predictable fallout.
Meanwhile, the Biden administration’s second-term immigration crackdown — including what officials described as one of ICE’s largest operations in Minneapolis — has been portrayed by Democrats as the problem rather than the response to crime and fraud. The federal presence was in part a reaction to a sprawling fraud probe and repeated refusals by local authorities to fully cooperate on enforcement. If Minneapolis wanted federal agents out so badly, why did the city and state fail to secure their own streets first?
This is about more than politics; it’s about protecting hardworking Americans from the breakdown of civil society. Federal agents showed up to do a tough job that local officials either could not or would not do, and instead of grateful support they got finger-pointing and smear campaigns. When the Left normalizes attacks on those sworn to enforce the law, it emboldens extremists and abandons the rest of us.
DHS itself has warned that attacks on ICE agents and federal officers have spiked dramatically, a predictable outcome when elected officials and activist leaders cast federal law enforcement as the enemy. The statistics and the scenes on the ground should be a wake-up call: strong rhetoric has consequences, and pretending otherwise puts lives at risk. We must stop applauding chaos and start demanding leaders who will restore order, not inflame it.
Chad Wolf’s message to Frey and Walz is simple and patriotic — look in the mirror and ask whether your words served your constituents or endangered them. If our cities are to recover and families are to be safe, officials must stop the virtue-signaling and start governing, support the agents who keep us secure, and work with federal partners rather than scapegoating them. Proud Americans will stand with the men and women who enforce the law and will hold soft leadership accountable at the ballot box.
