Trump accuses Tim Walz and Ilhan Omar of using ICE protests to distract from massive state fraud
Fox News ^ | January 18, 2025 | Anders Hagstrom

Posted on 01/18/2026 2:32:36 PM PST by MinorityRepublican

President Donald Trump lashed out at Minnesota Democrats on social media Sunday, saying they were using the ongoing federal operations to distract from the state's massive fraud issue.

Trump made the statement on his Truth Social media platform, saying federal agents in Minneapolis and St. Paul were targeting "violent criminals."

"ICE is removing some of the most violent criminals in the World from our Country, and bring them back home, where they belong. Why is Minnesota fighting this? Do they really want murderers and drug dealers to be ensconced in their community? The thugs that are protesting include many highly paid professional agitators and anarchists. Is this really what Minnesota wants?" Trump wrote.

Trump went on to call out Gov. Tim Walz and Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., saying they "don’t mind because it keeps the focus of attention off the 18 Billion Dollar, Plus, FRAUD, that has taken place in the State!"

"Don’t worry, we’re on it!" Trump added.

People need to hear it from him. Everyone doesn’t watch the news like we do.

It’s not “duh” considering how dumb and uninformed the average American is.

Protesters in Minneapolis are no longer allowed near the ICE facility.

They have setup barriers and if you cross it automatic arrest by the sheriffs department.

Trump is correct, of course. But the lack of training of ICE agents to fall for the bait is on Trump and Homan and ICE agents.

The game plan of the left was obvious from the start. The Narrative and headline were Illegal immigrant murder, rape, theft, Welfare Fraud, Political corruption.

Renee Good was trained by the left and executed her training...change the headline to Age 37 Mom of 3 Shot by ICE.

Side benefit: Renee’s name now sits beside George Floyd.

Their whole effort falls apart as soon as we start prosecuting them for the $18B in fraud.

ummmmmmm ... we are planning to prosecute ... right?

And the same is true for ALL of the DEMOCRAT run States and Cities.

And there are some REPUBLICAN run States who also want the focus of attention off of the Billion Dollar fraud that is occurring in their state. OHIO, I am talking about you here.

Pull ICE out and send them to a red state. Send in 2000 suit and tie federal fraud agents. Let them protest them.

Talking point only about the fraud/economy.

Do your Greenland foreign policy projects but keep them in the background of interviews/tweets.

Trump’s point here also illustrates the low IQ in communism and in globalism.

Because both are fully dependent on using deception to perpetrate evil. This is the lowest of all low IQ.

“No offense to President Trump, but “Duh.”

President Trump says he knows everything about these people. He has the intel. The history. The connections and the current behavior. People believe that he follows the headlines for his information. That he takes advice from the media and from the likes of Lindsay Graham. That he reacts to polls.

No

This is for a particular target audience. You know them. They’re at work, in the neighborhood, at church, on the phone with family members, at college, in the doctors office, at the store

We need for them to hear it. President Trump has actually a high approval rating. Forget the GOP Congress. When Trump’s approval rating improves to where it will grow to its proper position, for someone restricting us to law and order and the constitution, then these messages will be directed toward us adults who can take the truth

Look at the photo of President Trump (hey my phone update finally includes Trump next to President Biden and President Obama - I avoid not referring to him as President as they would like me to do by making it hard to type out)

Look at his photo accepting the framed Nobel Prize from this week

Look at what is behind him

We can think, believe, pretend it’s a coincidence but there really are few coincidences

Any questions even remotely connected to the ICE operations should be answered with the names and crimes committed by those who have been apprehended as well as the names, crimes and faces of those who are still being sought.

Anything and everything else is just arguing about how many angels can dance on the head of a pin.

"...the 18 Billion Dollar, Plus, FRAUD, that has taken place in the State!"

Hey, Bernie Madoff is dead, so it's just the Democrats doing their best to
"MAKE FRAUD GREAT AGAIN!"

“””Side benefit: Renee’s name now sits beside George Floyd.”

And nobody cares about either one.
