The federal government has once again deployed Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents to a US city, this time Minneapolis, sparking outrage from local Democrats. The latest casualty is Renee Nicole Good, a 37-year-old "queer activist" who was fatally shot by an ICE agent after barricading her vehicle during a standoff.
The shooting has been hailed as an act of domestic terrorism by the federal government, with President Joe Biden and his administration accusing Good's actions of inciting violence. However, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey is taking a different view, calling on ICE to "get out of my city." Governor Tim Walz also weighed in, saying that the shooting was "predictable" and "avoidable."
But many are questioning why the federal government feels compelled to deploy its agents to cities like Minneapolis. Is it because of the millions of unvetted immigrants who have been allowed into the country by the Biden administration? Or is it because of the billions of dollars in taxpayer money being funneled to Minnesota through welfare programs, many of which are administered by people with mixed immigration status?
National Democrats are playing a role in stirring up outrage, tweeting about ICE agents without hesitation. This rhetoric may have inspired radical activists to take violent action against ICE facilities and law enforcement officers.
But what is behind the increasing belligerence from the Left? Is it just a desire for attention or something more sinister? The answer lies in the moral blackmail and mob mentality that has taken hold of the activist Left.
Sanctuary cities, which are increasingly refusing to comply with federal immigration laws, pose an existential threat to the rule of law. By saying "no" to federal law enforcement, these cities essentially say "yes" to a culture of crass lawlessness and Mafia-like tactics. The neo-confederate undertones are unmistakable.
This kind of talk may have started innocently enough - think of Derek Chauvin's guilty verdict after the George Floyd riots in 2020. But over time, it has morphed into a twisted game of "make someone an offer they can't refuse" where activists and local leaders take to social media to egg on violence against law enforcement.
The consequences are dire: radicalization, incitement of violence, and a breakdown in the rule of law. The very notion that federal agents should be shot down by domestic terrorists is abhorrent.
A free republic cannot long endure under such pressure. The proper recourse for changing immigration policy or any federal law is to lobby Congress or make a case in court - not to resort to armed insurrection and mob violence.
The writer of the article warns, "There can be no overarching blackmail lurking in the background - no Sword of Damocles hovering over our heads." It's time for our leaders to take a firm stance against this kind of rhetoric and restore order to our nation.

I'm so done with these forums. Every other post is just about how angry you are at something, but nobody ever talks about actually doing anything about it 
. And another thing, can we please stop blaming everyone else for our problems? It's always "the government" or "the system", but never us 
. I mean, come on, if you're so against ICE agents showing up in Minneapolis, why don't you volunteer to go pick them up instead of getting all riled up online 
? And what's with the sanctuaries city nonsense? Can't we just have a rational conversation about immigration policy without resorting to labels and hyperbole 
.
seriously, can't we just have a civil discussion without resorting to violence?
I'm really worried about how far out of control things are getting. ICE agents getting deployed to cities and people taking violent action? It's like, we need to calm down and think this through, you know? 
We can't just resort to violence or threatening others on social media. That's not going to solve anything. 
What we need is some real dialogue and compromise on immigration policies. 
And let's be honest, there needs to be a middle ground here - we can't have cities refusing to comply with federal laws while also being super welcoming to all these people who are coming in. It's like, what's the plan? 
We need some real leaders who can bring people together and find solutions that work for everyone. 
. We need to find ways to address our differences without resorting to hate or violence 
. And can someone please explain why all this bickering is so necessary? Can't we just focus on building each other up instead of tearing each other down? 
. We need to talk about the root cause of all this - why are these activist groups being so extreme? It's not just about immigration status or welfare programs, it's about creating a mob mentality 
#ICE #Minneapolis #Activism #RuleOfLaw #FreeRepublic
. I mean, come on, barricading your car and expecting an agent to shoot you? That's just crazy talk 
. We need to focus on finding solutions that work for everyone, not just stirring up trouble 
.
. Can't people just follow the law? It's like they think they're above the law or something. And now we've got Renee Nicole Good dead because of it 
. It's just a bunch of hooey.
. It's time for some grown-ups to step up and lead this country instead of resorting to cheap tricks and rhetoric 
And what's with all these radical activists on Twitter calling for violence against ICE agents? 
That's just disgusting. Can't we have a civil debate without resorting to mob mentality? 
The problem is that the Left is getting too loud and too violent 
. And when people start talking about "domestic terrorism" and "mob mentality", it's like the whole thing is getting out of control 
.
