Vice President JD Vance on Thursday blamed “far-left people” and state and local law enforcement officials for the chaos that has unfolded during the White House's aggressive deportation campaign.
Vance insisted that he was in Minnesota to calm tensions, and said the Insurrection Act wouldn’t be needed “right now” in Minneapolis after meeting with Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in the city, which has emerged as a national focal point in the clash over the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown.
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, other local officials, the city's police, religious leaders and the business community, have pushed back against the federal action that coincided with community outrage, after an agent fatally shot Renee Good, a U.S. citizen and mother of three, during a confrontation earlier this month.
