Outrage Over ICE Arrest of 5-Year-Old in Minnesota – US Vice President Defiant

US Vice President J.D. Vance has sparked outrage with his comments regarding the arrest of a five-year-old boy by ICE in Minneapolis. While the arrest has triggered protests, Vance called for peaceful demonstrations and defended the ICE operation, claiming the child was taken into custody because his father, described as an “illegal immigrant,” attempted to flee. This move comes days after Vance’s support for the ICE officer who fatally shot 37-year-old Renee Good, further fueling criticism against him. The state of Minnesota has requested federal intervention to halt the ICE operation, and the case is expected to be heard in court on Monday. The Democratic opposition accuses Vance of exacerbating the situation with his statements.
