America is watching Minneapolis erupt into chaos while career politicians wring their hands and lecture law-abiding citizens about empathy. Former acting ICE Director Jonathan Fahey warned on Fox that state obstruction of federal agents has reached a point where extraordinary measures, including the Insurrection Act, may be the only way to restore order and protect officers who are being targeted on the streets. The blunt assessment should alarm every American who believes government exists to preserve safety before politics.
President Trump has bluntly told Minnesota’s leaders that if they will not enforce the law, the federal government will, even if that means invoking the rarely used Insurrection Act and deploying military support to back up immigration enforcement. The administration has already poured thousands of federal officers into the Minneapolis area, a direct response to mounting attacks on agents and the lawlessness that followed a string of violent confrontations. Conservatives who value public safety should applaud decisive action instead of caving to cries that confuse criminality with protest.
This surge followed sobering incidents on the streets, including the fatal shooting of Renee Good during an ICE operation and a separate episode in which a federal officer shot a man after being assaulted while attempting an arrest. Those events have understandably inflamed passions, but they do not excuse mobs who block streets, ambush agents, and harass working officers doing a dangerous job. Americans deserve a system where accountability and order, not chaos and spectacle, prevail.
Minnesota’s political class has responded predictably by suing the Department of Homeland Security and trying to shame federal officers for doing their duty, even as public safety collapses in parts of the city. Fahey told Fox the state’s lawsuit is “utterly meritless” and accused local leaders of actively obstructing law enforcement, a staggering dereliction when residents are being put at risk. This isn’t a legal debate in the abstract — it’s about whether elected officials will side with lawbreakers or with the rule of law.
If governors and mayors will not protect communities, the federal government has both the authority and the obligation to step in, and Fahey’s blunt talk about the Insurrection Act is a wake-up call for officials who think softness will solve violence. Conservatism has always meant defending the innocent and supporting those who stand between order and anarchy; hesitation now would be a betrayal of that principle. Let the courts fight the politics later — for now, restore safety, secure the streets, and let citizens go about their lives without fear.
Hardworking Americans are tired of leaders who pander to outrage while neighborhoods burn and businesses close. It’s time to back the men and women in uniform, demand accountability from soft-on-crime politicians, and send a clear message at the ballot box that lawlessness will not be rewarded. Patriots want peace, prosperity, and protection of our communities; anything less is surrender.
