Rep. Byron Donalds unloaded on Minnesota’s Democratic leaders this week, calling out their anti-ICE posture as political theater while federal agents try to do their jobs. On Fox he labeled Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey a “fool and a clown,” arguing that local leaders are choosing chaos over public safety and accountability.
Federal immigration enforcement in Minneapolis has escalated into open confrontation, with protesters interrupting worship services and the Pentagon preparing a contingent in response to rising tensions. These scenes are not abstract policy debates — they’re violent, chaotic episodes playing out on neighborhood streets while local officials posture for headlines.
Conservative voices have also pointed out that all this outrage conveniently distracts from serious allegations of massive fraud in Minnesota, allegations that President Trump and others say total in the billions. Whether the final, full accounting proves every claim true or not, Americans deserve answers about missing taxpayer dollars and why local powerbrokers reflexively attack federal law enforcement instead of cooperating.
Donalds didn’t just criticize — he offered a practical test of seriousness: enroll in ICE’s 287(g) program and let local cops help enforce immigration laws if you truly believe in the rule of law. That straight-forward challenge exposes the hypocrisy — talk of sanctuary and “protections” rings hollow when public safety is on the line and citizens are scared.
Meanwhile, the Department of Homeland Security reports thousands of arrests tied to the enforcement actions, and local clashes have at times turned dangerous for federal agents working in the field. These aren’t abstract numbers from cable pundits; they’re the real consequences of permissive policies and leadership that puts politics ahead of protecting residents.
Patriotic Americans should demand accountability from the officials who refuse to cooperate with federal partners while pointing fingers at law enforcement. If Minnesota’s leaders truly cared about their communities they would join enforcement efforts, investigate any alleged fraud transparently, and stop using immigration as a political shield for incompetence or corruption.
