A federal ICE agent’s confrontation in south Minneapolis left a 37-year-old local woman, Renee Nicole Good, dead and the city boiling over with protests and grief. Witness videos and multiple outlets report agents fired as the vehicle attempted to move away, touching off outrage, massive vigils, and street demonstrations that have crippled parts of the city. Americans watching wondered how protecting our borders and enforcing law became a lightning rod for chaos and recrimination.
Tom Homan, President Trump’s border czar and the man who rebuilt ICE in the last administration, did not mince words on national television — he warned there is an active effort to identify the people and organizations bankrolling these violent operations and vowed they will be prosecuted. Homan called out local leaders who posture while mobs intimidate federal officers, reminding them that if they oppose enforcement they should change the law instead of letting cities burn. Conservative Americans should applaud anyone willing to follow the money and hold the financiers of lawlessness to account.
This calamity has exposed the failure of Democrat leaders to keep order; Minneapolis’ own mayor told ICE to leave while the governor and others have fanned the flames, forcing the federal government to consider extraordinary measures to restore public safety. The president even warned of invoking the Insurrection Act to protect federal officers and federal facilities if states refuse to act, underscoring how far local dysfunction has pushed the nation. If left-wing politicians prefer virtue signaling to governing, the rest of America will not stand for the dismantling of rule of law on their watch.
Independent rights groups and human rights monitors have examined the footage and raised troubling questions about the federal account of events, which only makes it more imperative that investigations be transparent and swift. Video analysts say the car appeared to be turning away when shots were fired, fueling legitimate outrage and the demand that due process run its course — but outrage does not justify the assault and intimidation of federal officers carrying out statutes Congress passed. We can support law and order and still insist on truth; the two are not mutually exclusive.
Conservatives must insist on both accountability and courage: prosecute those who fund and incite violence, back the men and women in uniform who put themselves between danger and our neighborhoods, and stop caving to sleepy local leaders who value political theater over public safety. The American people deserve a full, transparent probe into who financed the riots and who is behind the buses and the paid agitators, and they deserve leaders who will pursue justice without fear or favor. As Homan proclaimed, justice is coming — and patriots should demand it be fair, thorough, and swift.
