Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey slammed ICE officials for 'creating chaos' in his city after an agent who was 'ambushed' during an arrest shot a suspect in the leg.
The Department of Homeland Security said the suspect was an illegal migrant from Venezuela who ran away on foot Wednesday night before joining two others to attack the agent with a 'broomstick or shovel.'
The suspect was shot in the leg and remains in a stable condition in hospital. Two accomplices were also in police custody, and the agent involved was also taken to hospital after he was violently set upon by the trio.
Law enforcement officers wearing masks were using tear gas and flash bangs on protesters at the scene, just 4.5 miles north of where Good was shot, in an effort to control the crowds.
Frey urged protesters who had arrived at the scene to 'go home', warning they were making matters worse and 'taking the bait.'
'For anyone who is taking the bait tonight: stop,' he said at a late-night press conference to address the second ICE shooting to rock his city in a week.
'It is not helpful. Go home. We cannot counter Donald Trump's chaos with our own chaos.
'You are not helping the undocumented immigrants in our city, you are not helping the people who call this place home.'
Protesters had been throwing snowballs and fireworks in the direction of officers as they chanted 'our streets' in the wake of the shooting, Minneapolis police chief Brian O'Hara revealed.
'The crowd is engaging in illegal acts,' he said. 'We ask anyone at the scene to leave immediately. This is already a tense scenario and we do not need it to escalate any further.

No, the ones sowing chaos are those protesting law enforcement and rioting and using violence against them.
Send ALL 100% of Federal Law Enforcement and Deploy Marine Corps to Minneapolis, arrest Governor and Mayor, all of them.
Declare Martial Law in Minnesota and Insurrection Act.
Put this anarchy down. Enough already. Wipe them out.
Frey is one of the worst. Even by Minnesota standards he stinks.
ICE was not ready for the insurrection they are facing.
It is time to declare martial law in the city and put it under federal control.
Hint: Pretend it is Little Rock during the Eisenhower administration.

So—let us see how it was done.
“On September 24, Eisenhower invoked the Insurrection Act of 1807 to enable troops to perform domestic law enforcement. The president ordered the 101st Airborne Division of the United States Army to Little Rock...and federalized the entire 10,000-member Arkansas National Guard, taking it out of Faubus’s control.”
So mayor let me get this right ICE set up all the Somalis operations so chaos is good for business?.
To help the undocumented immigrants
Chaos is journalistic concept.
There is no chaos. ICE and the Border Patrol are going about their business asd usual, and are successfully cleansing the Twin Cities of illegal alien criminals.
Soon, the efforts will be joined by the FBI and others to cleanse the city of criminal politicians as well
Im looking for tonight to be wild.
“It is not helpful. Go home. We cannot counter Donald Trump’s chaos with our own chaos.”
