Crowds gathered again in Minneapolis on Wednesday, Jan. 7, marching through the same streets where some of them were protesting five and a half years ago after George Floyd’s murder.
The full force and fury of the federal government landed on Minnesota this week.
“You will be held accountable for your crimes,” Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said Jan. 6, as the largest immigration enforcement action in agency history surged into the state. It felt like she was addressing all Minnesotans, not just the handcuffed man she paraded before the cameras.
Minnesotans reeled as masked ICE agents descended on the state. They said they’d come to root out fraud. They shot and killed Renee Good, a 37-year-old woman who would still be alive if ICE had never come to town.
Five and a half years ago, protesters gathered and law enforcement pushed back with mace and foam bullets. The crowd marched from 38th and Chicago to the Third Precinct police station. For days, the violence escalated until the precinct was in flames, until Lake Street was burning, until the whole city smelled like smoke and tear gas and grief.
Minneapolis rebuilt. Minneapolis was trying to move on. Until the president of the United States started calling Minnesotans “garbage.” Until the federal government put the city in its crosshairs.
But Minneapolis is five and a half years older and wiser. Minneapolis knows that violence is exactly what this administration craves. Trump deployed the National Guard to quell protests in Los Angeles and deployed troops to Chicago and Washington, D.C., for no reason in particular.
“I feel your anger. I’m angry,” Gov. Tim Walz said Wednesday. “They want a show. We cannot give it to them. We cannot.”

The Minnesota Star Tribune appears to be the most leftist newspaper in the country today.
That’s Red Star Tribune.
🤮
It is really simple. If you don’t want to have consequences then stay home. This is none of the rioters business. They are just as much breaking laws as the illegals and fraudsters. Actions have consequences.
There’s a reason it is called “The Minnesota Red Star”, or “Pravda On The Mississippi”.

“I Cain’t Dribe!”
Isn’t this the place where the Mayor’s wife stuck her head out the window and take pleasure in the odor of her own city burning?
Just an innocent female driver who found herself randomly in the middle of an ice raid. Well...other than her wife filming her ramming activities from outside the suv.
"Turn the page"
It’s not called the “Red” Star Tribune for nothing.
“If you don’t want to have consequences then stay home.”
In the colloquial jargon: Don’t start no 💩, there won’t be no 💩.
this protest is racist - not a BLM face anywhere to be seen. No somali-s, no arabs, no ‘allies’. Do they feel lonely?
Useful idiots devoted to big government power about to fight big government power over protecting illegals and fraud. The insane Left is all about death and destruction.
And yet - those who have NOT learned - will. -
Communists.
Odd headline!
There was no fear or guilt when Somalis defrauded the American taxpayers!!

***Nationalize the Minnesota Guard, recall Tim Walz to duty, and put him on crowd control right where these leftist freaks he has empowered can see him. And if he won’t follow orders— court martial***
