🇺🇸 Trump Accuses Minnesota Leaders of Inciting Insurrection
Happy Monday, Patriots!
President Donald Trump says his administration is reviewing everything surrounding the fatal Minneapolis shooting involving a federal agent.
In an interview this weekend, Trump said he does not like shootings — but raised serious concerns about protesters bringing loaded firearms into volatile situations. He confirmed a full review is underway and promised a determination once all facts are examined.
The president also signaled that immigration enforcement officers will eventually leave Minneapolis, after completing what he called a “phenomenal job.” A separate federal presence, however, will remain focused on uncovering massive financial and welfare fraud in the state.
Trump made it clear: law enforcement will be protected, order will be restored, and accountability is coming.

President Trump delivered a forceful rebuke to Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, accusing both leaders of inciting insurrection through their handling of the Border Patrol agent-involved shooting and the violent unrest that followed. The president said state and local officials abandoned law enforcement, misled the public about the circumstances of the shooting, and are now attempting to shift blame onto federal agents as chaos engulfs the city.
A Department of Homeland Security statement said the armed man who was shot and killed wanted to massacre law enforcement after approaching US Border Patrol officers with a 9mm semi-automatic handgun. The president asserted that Mayor Frey and Governor Walz continue firing up anti-ICE rhetoric as a cover-up for the Somali fraud scheme currently being investigated by the Department of Justice.

🗳️Trump Pushes Trump-a-palooza Midterm Convention
President Trump is pushing for what's being dubbed a Trump-a-palooza midterm convention as the Republican Party braces for tough elections ahead. The Republican National Committee approved a rule change enabling the unprecedented midterm gathering designed to energize the base and showcase the administration's achievements. The convention would allow Republicans to rally voters at a critical time when midterm elections typically favor the party out of power, keeping the president's agenda front and center. RNC officials believe the America First convention will help maintain congressional majorities by highlighting the administration's accomplishments and mobilizing Trump supporters. The move represents a significant departure from traditional midterm strategies, with the party betting that Trump's continued involvement will overcome historical midterm headwinds facing the party in power.
🏛Progressive Democrat Targets Trump with Track ICE Bill
Texas Representative Jasmine Crockett introduced legislation aimed at tracking ICE deportation flights in what the administration views as an effort to interfere with immigration enforcement operations. The bill would create new reporting requirements for federal immigration authorities conducting removal operations, potentially revealing sensitive operational details. Critics argue the legislation could compromise law enforcement tactics and endanger agents conducting deportation missions by making flight schedules and destinations public. The proposal comes as Democratic lawmakers intensify efforts to restrict ICE operations through legislative action rather than direct confrontation. The administration has signaled strong opposition to any measures that would hamper immigration enforcement or expose agent movements to criminal organizations and their supporters.
💰Trump Warns Canada of 100 Percent Tariffs
Trump threatened Canada with 100 percent tariffs if the country becomes a drop-off port for Chinese goods in potential trade deal negotiations. The warning came as Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney faces pressure over his government's close economic ties with Beijing and concerns that Canada could serve as a backdoor for Chinese products into American markets. The administration expressed alarm that trade agreements might be exploited to circumvent tariffs on Chinese imports through Canadian intermediaries. Canadian officials pushed back on the threat while defending their right to conduct independent trade negotiations with China despite American concerns. The president made clear that any arrangement allowing Chinese goods to flow through Canada into the United States would trigger the most severe tariff penalties available.
✈️Trump Threatens Iran with Crushing Response
President Trump warned Iran of a crushing response after Tehran denied halting executions of protesters despite international pressure to end the brutal crackdown. Iranian authorities have executed over 35,000 dissidents according to reports, defying calls from the international community to cease the killings. The administration has monitored the situation closely while considering options for holding the regime accountable for human rights abuses against its own citizens. The president's threat of a crushing response signals potential military or economic measures if Iran fails to change course on protest executions. Tehran's denial that it ever agreed to halt executions has raised tensions with Washington as the administration weighs its response to the ongoing repression.
🔔 Trump Accuses Minnesota Leaders of Inciting Insurrection 🔔
President Trump confirmed his administration is reviewing everything in the wake of the Minneapolis shooting while stopping short of confirming whether the federal agent who fired the fatal shots acted appropriately. Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old ICU nurse, was shot and killed by a US Border Patrol agent while filming federal officers targeting Jose Huerta-Chuma, an illegal immigrant with a criminal history including domestic assault for intentional conflict bodily harm, disorderly conduct and driving without a valid license.
Federal officials initially claimed Pretti approached agents with a 9mm handgun and resisted disarmament, but bystander video and eyewitness accounts circulating online raised questions about that version of events and whether Pretti was threatening officers when he was shot. Trump told reporters he doesn't like any shooting but noted Pretti carried a very powerful, fully loaded gun with two magazines. The president tied the federal presence in Minnesota to what he described as the biggest fraud anyone has seen, arguing that immigration enforcement was necessary to address broader welfare-fraud abuses in the state.
The Minneapolis shooting marked the second death in a confrontation between federal immigration officers and civilians in the city following the shooting death of Renee Good on Jan. 7 by a US Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent during a different operation. Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara warned that public anger over the string of federal-involved shootings has reached a breaking point, saying the city is so overwhelmed that even a finding of legal justification in the latest incident does not matter at this point.
O'Hara explained that Minneapolis residents have had enough after three shootings in less than three weeks, including two fatal encounters involving federal agents. Following the Saturday shooting, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey issued an ultimatum to Trump, demanding the end of the immigration operation for safety to be restored in the city.
President Trump quickly fired back through Truth Social, telling ICE patriots to do their job after 12,000 illegal alien criminals, many of them violent, were arrested and taken out of Minnesota. Trump delivered a forceful rebuke accusing both Mayor Frey and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz of inciting insurrection with their pompous, dangerous, and arrogant rhetoric while using anti-ICE messaging to cover up tens of billions of dollars that have been stolen from the state.
The president questioned why Representative Ilhan Omar has $34 million dollars in her account and where tens of billions of dollars that went missing from Minnesota have gone, calling the situation no different than a really big bank robbery. Trump asserted that those who stole the money are going to jail where they belong, treating the investigation as a major financial crime requiring continued federal presence in the state.
Vice President JD Vance characterized the Minneapolis unrest as engineered chaos after the deadly federal shooting incident, suggesting organized opposition to immigration enforcement operations. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt stressed that nobody including President Trump wants to see people get shot or hurt while urging officials to work more closely with the administration in addressing undocumented individuals living in the country illegally.
Trump said state and local officials abandoned law enforcement, misled the public about the circumstances of the shooting, and are now attempting to shift blame onto federal agents as chaos engulfs the city. The administration indicated federal agents will eventually leave but offered no timeline for when they might depart, saying a different group will remain for the financial fraud investigation.
