Trump puts 'corrupt' Minnesota leaders on notice
YouTube ^ | 01/16/2026 | Fox News

Posted on 01/16/2026 9:58:52 AM PST by SmokingJoe

Fox News segment (uploaded Jan 15, 2026) reports on violent protests in Minneapolis after an ICE arrest/shooting involving a Venezuelan migrant. Agents were ambushed and beaten; protesters vandalized vehicles and attacked federal property.

President Trump posted on Truth Social warning "corrupt" Minnesota leaders (implying Gov. Walz and others) to stop the "travesty" and professional agitators or face federal intervention.

A police advocate calls it domestic terrorism enabled by weak local leadership. ~5.5 min clip from 'The Faulkner Focus'.

The quicker Trump invokes the Insurrection Act, the better. Time to put these Somali terrorists in chains.

The problem is that politicians like Walz and Frey have to concern about consequences. Politicians, particularly Dem politicians never face consequences, so they do as the please. If Bondi would just put one of those scumbags in jail, it would help a lot.

Venezuelan “migrant.”

More like an illegal alien criminal gang member.

Walz, Frey and Ellison are calling President Trump’s bluff.

It is time to place the cards on the table and let us see who has the winning hand.

The communists riot in defense of the Venezuelan invasion of this country at the same time they’re protesting this country’s invasion of Venezuela.

The keep contrasting 3,000 ICE personnel with 600 Minneapolis police, but don't mention that in 2019, the Minneapolis police had about 900 officers.

That 33% reduction reflects the Saint George Floyd "abolish the police" nonsense, plus the desire to redirect that funding to various NGO kickback scams.

Walz, Frey and Ellison have very few cards to play.
In a fight with Trump, they get crushed,

They are not crushed until they are crushed.

Hillary is still a free range felon.

Exactly—never.

She took a whole server of government secrets home with her—and operated it for years—a blatant violation of federal law which included multiple felonies

and she received no consequences.

If any other federal employee did that they would be spending decades in a federal prison.

The Somalis were just acting like the parasites they are.

The skids of this whole thing were greased by liberal (dem) handlers and logistics people right to the top.

And why is it taking so long to find out if Omar married her brother or not so her ass can shipped out of our country? She yaps every day that ICE is a criminal organization, how ironic. OTOH, don’t mind paying taxes for a 20-year incarceration for her in a federal prison with no early parole.

The White House:

“If the corrupt politicians of Minnesota don't obey the law & stop the professional agitators & insurrectionists from attacking the Patriots of I.C.E., who are only trying to do their job, I will institute the INSURRECTION ACT, which many Presidents have done…” - President Trump
