(Zero Hedge)—It didn’t take long. Within hours of an ICE-involved shooting in the Minneapolis area, the Democratic Party’s protest industrial complex moved into action, quickly creating conditions for coordinated demonstrations across multiple cities. The rapid response suggested these nonprofit activist networks were on standby, waiting for a catalytic event, as an army of radicals intensified pressure campaigns against federal agents, blocking streets, harassing officers, and openly doxxing them.
I want every ICE officer to know that their president, vice president, and the entire administration stands behind them.
To the radicals assaulting them, doxxing them, and threatening them: congratulations, we’re going to work even harder to enforce the law.

Shortly after the ICE-involved shooting that left one woman dead, multiple videos of the incident went viral on X. In at least one video, she appears to be blocking the street with her vehicle in an attempt to impede ICE agents and is later shot and killed after advancing toward one of the agents. Numerous angles of the incident are circulating on X, offering competing narratives.

The Democratic Party’s propaganda machine, desperately searching for the next narrative after the optically displeasing Somali-linked daycare fraud scandal, was quick to deploy a new storyline.
As we noted hours before protest activity erupted in the Minneapolis area (read here), the left-wing nonprofit Minnesota Immigrant Rights Action Committee functioned as a rapid-response mobilization hub, coordinating a coalition of left-wing activist groups to flood the streets by late evening.

The rapid response extended beyond Minnesota. In New York, Party for Socialism and Liberation New York City, reportedly funded by China-based far-left billionaire Neville Roy Singham, mobilized activists within hours.

Looking ahead, the socialists are planning pro-Maduro protests in the US, funded by PSL.
The Trump Administration has kidnapped Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and started a blatantly criminal war against Venezuela.

What happened to the investigation of the Soros’ Orgs’ involvement in the nationwide insurrection??
It was announced by the DOJ several months ago but nothing, not one word, has been spoken about the results.
Same thing with the investigation of the Clinton Foundation, purportedly investigated but not one word of the result.
Soros’ Orgs especially are obviously involved in sedition. The rot is so widespread, it is questionable whether it is now correctible. The nation alphabet media are fully complicit in this disrespect of standing Law.
This display of insult to standing Law is in a sense the result of the DOJ allowing sanctuary agencies to fester and of doing nothing to insurrectionist mayors and governors. It is past time Prez Trump acquire a REAL AG.
trump isn’t serious about removing these people..he should have tens of thousands of troops in every major city removing third world scum who do not assimilate.. it’s the only way to get them out and idc what it looks like. this is our country and it’s being conquered in real time and our leaders aren’t going to fix this. Trump is deporting less than 1.000 people a day. it should be 10,000 a day or more.
Ice is doing something great but they don’t have the resources or numbers. that’s on trump to.
Nah. The easiest way to show 100% that he’s serious, make it a forced any employer found to be employing illegals should be fined, and ask Congress to pass a new law to allow the fine to be $5000/illegal/day back to the date of hiring. If they are caught, give them 3 days to fix it, otherwise the retroactive fines go back to date of hire. Also, enforce federal criminal penalties for hiring managers and CEO’s. About 20 arrests and 20 million in fines, and there won’t be an illegal able to get a job anywhere in the US.
You can ALWAYS count on the democrat (communist) party to side with the criminals.
ALWAYS.
It’s a good thing there were no victims during the vehicular assault.
Maybe a few more of these leftist criminals need to be shot beg=fore they get the message. The left proves it is not a bright bunch.
They are a dense lot, aren’t they?
Some woman is WTF did you do???? She tried to run a person over with her car and got shot. Plain and simple!
She fought the Law and the Law won and while she may not be breaking rocks in the Hot sun, I’m sure where she is now is extremely hot.
Hopefully these lefties at their ‘peaceful’ protests won’t be stupid like the woman who decided to try to run over that ICE agent, but I wouldn’t hold my breath. Oh well, if they are, the herd gets thinned out 🙂
minnesota and its democrats can go to hell! we are going to increase ice and arrest more people who break the laws of our country
What these “protesters” are doing is not protest. It’s not petitioning the government for redress of grievances. It’s not speech.
It’s obstruction of justice, and impeding law enforcement. And they all need to be arrested.
Nobody made them the supreme rulers of the land to make the law into whatever they want it to be. The officer acted within the law. He had no obligation to move, and stayed in his position for a reason, because it was his job to stop her. Standing in position blocking a vehicle is pretty much an arrest. And there was probable cause for arrest. He could’ve moved, yes. Should he have moved and let her through? No, not in the case of probable cause for an arrest.
It’s nice when the enemy is so stupid that they gather out in the open and in tight groups!
… Just sayin…
