Minnesota Democrats Are Testing How Woke Is Too Woke

• A radical activist rammed her car into an ICE agent on January 7, 2026, killing the officer, yet Minnesota Democrats condemned ICE rather than the violence, drawing parallels to ignored threats against law enforcement.
• Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey responded to the incident with an inflammatory rant telling ICE to “Get the f—- out of Minneapolis,” highlighting deep anti-law enforcement sentiment among local leaders.
• Gov. Tim Walz labeled investigations into billions in federal fraud by Somali Americans as “white supremacy,” shielding fraudsters while attacking efforts to hold them accountable.
• The “woke” ideology of viewing everything through oppressive “white privilege” has enabled massive fraud and blocked deportations, prioritizing identity politics over rule of law and public safety.
• Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan wore a hijab in a Christmas video to express solidarity with Somali “immigrant neighbors,” exemplifying pandering that alienates mainstream voters.
• These radical stances contributed to electoral damage, including Walz dropping out of future races and Kamala Harris winning Minnesota by only a narrow margin in 2024.
• Media allies amplify the extremism by promoting resistance to ICE and downplaying violence by illegal immigrants against officers.
• Minnesota’s Democratic leadership is testing how far “woke” policies can go before causing significant political backlash, potentially harming their hold on power in upcoming elections.
