Trump on Minnesota Shooting: 'Let ICE Patriots Do Their Job'

Donald Trump commented on the deadly shooting in Minneapolis, where an ICE agent shot and killed a man, calling for 'ICE patriots to be allowed to do their job.' He also criticized the absence of local law enforcement and hinted at potential mismanagement of funds in the state of Minnesota, mentioning the $34 million in Ilhan Omar's account. In his post, Trump described the suspect's weapon and questioned why local police were not present to protect the ICE agents. He argued that some police officers were not allowed to perform their duties, forcing ICE to protect itself. The former US president accused the Democrats' open border policy of allowing illegal criminals to enter the state. He demanded the return of 'stolen' funds and threatened to imprison the 'fraudsters' involved. Finally, Trump accused the mayor and governor of Minnesota of inciting rebellion with their rhetoric and that they should focus on recovering the billions of dollars that have been stolen. He argued that the ICE operation was necessary, given that 12,000 illegal alien criminals have been arrested and deported from Minnesota.
