An ICE agent in Minnesota had enough while ICE was trying to arrest a pedophile illegal alien, as leftist activists were honking their horns to warn the predator and help him escape on Sunday. 

Video from the scene, shared by Freedom News TV, shows an ICE agent driving up to the cameras in a St. Paul, Minnesota, neighborhood and shouting out of his window, “We’re here to arrest a child sex offender, and you guys are out here honking!”

“Oh, no. We’re press,” the reporter responded politely. The agent then pointed to a vehicle and said, “That vehicle right there is honking and impeding our investigation while we’re trying to arrest a child sex offender.”

“That’s who you guys are protecting,” he continued, before driving off and shouting, “insane!”

The agent is then seen speaking to the leftists in their car as they demand a warrant and accuse him of “lying.”

Additional footage from the street shows leftists surrounding the agents as they blow whistles and honk their horns to protect criminal illegals.

ICE responded to the incident in an X post from the agency’s official account, commenting, “When anti-ICE agitators impede our operations, they’re defending criminal illegal alien child sex predators.”

Riots are also breaking out in Minneapolis, where pro-illegal alien leftists are camping out at the Whipple federal building, where ICE has a detention facility, and clashing with police.

The Trump Administration has placed roughly 1,500 active-duty soldiers on standby for deployment to Minnesota as President Trump weighs invoking the Insurrection Act. Additionally, Minnesota National Guard troops have been mobilized in Minnesota to support law enforcement.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey responded to the troop deployment during a Sunday appearance on CNN’s State of the Union, telling host Jake Tapper that the move is “clearly designed to intimidate the people of Minneapolis,” and “We’re not going to be intimidated.”

He further threatened that the chaos and rioting will continue until ICE leaves Minneapolis.

ICE Director Todd Lyons was on “Sunday Morning Futures” with host Maria Bartiromo to talk about ICE operations in Minneapolis.

“It feels like the Democrats lit the match and now they are trying to attack the agents who are doing their job,” Bartiromo said.

“These Democrats oversaw a wide-open border where some criminals came in. 350 people on the terrorist watchlist were encountered under Biden’s years,” Bartiromo said.

“Then they told citizens to get in the faces of ICE when ICE reacted. Now they are attacking ICE for doing their job,” Bartiromo said.

“What is taking place here? Please tell us,” Bartiromo continued.

Lyons explained that rhetoric coming from elected officials, mainly on the left, had increased attacks against ICE agents.

“We started seeing this back in April, and I, you know, I sent up the flare and started asking, you know, elected officials not to stoke such dangerous rhetoric about ICE,” Lyons said.

“You are seeing attacks on ICE officers and our other federal partners for only going out there and doing their law enforcement mission,” Lyons continued.

“We went to Minnesota on that criminal fraud case over 9 billion dollars. Homeland Security investigations and the FBI were investigating. At the same time, we had more than 470 criminal illegal aliens this year alone since President Trump took office rereleased back into the communities,” Lyons said.

Lyons also explained that federal law enforcement uses social media to show that they are specifically targeting illegal alien criminals. He also said that the accusation that ICE is targeting US citizens is completely false.

“If you look at our social media sites and see our fresh releases, you’ll see consistently ICE agents, deportation officers have arrested murderers, gang members, serial rapists, people wanted from their home country for heinous crimes,” Lyons continued.

“Yet, unfortunately, you don’t hear that. What automatically assuming from elected officials is that ICE is out there doing something wrong,” Lyons said.

“It’s horrible for the fact that people say that ICE is now targeting US citizens. That’s not the case. We have to send more officers and agents just to protect the men and women that are out there trying to do their regular lawful law enforcement mission,” Lyons explained.

“The narrative that the Democrats are sending out there is that ICE is going down, breaking up families, taking people who are working hard, having people be afraid to go to work,” Bartiromo commented.

“If you go ahead and you look at what we have done since January 20th. You know, 70 percent of all illegal aliens that ICE has arrested last year and going into this calendar year, have criminal convictions, or pending criminal charges, or warrants, or criminal histories back in their home country,” Lyons continued.

“As much press as we do, as many releases as we put out, it’s just no one will pick up the fact that we are actually out there focused on our law enforcement mission,” Lyons said.

“These sanctuary jurisdictions. You would not see this many ICE agents and special agents on the street, focused on the criminal illegal alien mission, if they would just turn people over to us,” Lyons explained.

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey claimed that the violent insurrection in Minneapolis is “about love” and ironically defended his hatred for ICE agents during a Sunday appearance on ABC’s This Week. 

Looking “stoned to the bone,” Frey went on a hippie tirade about love and claimed that the rioters in Minneapolis are protesting “peacefully” on behalf of people who are “scared to go outside because they’re afraid of having their families ripped apart.” He further claimed that the Trump Administration is trying to “intimidate” the residents and himself.

WATCH:

Karl: What is your message now to protesters?

Frey: The message hasn’t changed. And at the same time, we have had tens of thousands of people in Minneapolis stand up and protest peacefully. We’ve got people sliding down these hills of ice to attend a protest and making sure that people would have food that are scared to go outside because they’re afraid of having their families ripped apart. You know, I think it’s important to tell the whole country that this is not just about resistance here in Minneapolis, it’s about love.

We are showing something far more powerful and consequential here, which is love. We are standing up for one another. You’ve got neighbors helping neighbors. You’ve got people uniting and coming together in this beautiful way. And, obviously, we’ve got these threats out there from the federal government that were literally designed to intimidate Minneapolis residents, to intimidate me. But here’s the thing, we’re not going to be intimidated. We’ve got this beautiful city full of extraordinary people. I have never been prouder to be from Minneapolis.

Later in the interview, Frey defended his recent profanity toward ICE agents, saying, “I don’t regret it at all,” and “part of my responsibility as mayor is to channel what people in our city are feeling.”

Despite purporting to seek “peace” in the streets, he continued to smear federal law enforcement and incite his radical base.

WATCH:

Karl: But let me ask you, during those incredibly emotional moments and hours after the shooting of Renee Good, you went on national television, and you said to ICE, “Get the F out of Minneapolis.” Do you regret that language? I mean, that doesn’t sound like turning the temperature down.

Frey: I don’t regret it at all. In the moments before I went out there to do that press conference, I learned that Kristi Noem had already jumped to a conclusion as to the ICE agent’s conduct, saying that it was purely self-defense. Minutes or hours later you had her saying that Renee Good was a domestic terrorist. If I seemed like I was angry and frustrated, I was. And part of my responsibility as mayor is to channel what people in our city are feeling. And the people in our city were angry. They were upset. And at the same time, from the very beginning, we were saying the same thing, which is, we’ve got to keep the peace.

We’re not going to counter Donald Trump’s chaos with our own brand of chaos here. Yes, we stand up. Yes, we peacefully protest. And we’re not going to go down this route that gives them the excuse to come in with greater numbers. They’re looking for an excuse. They’re trying to intimidate Minneapolis residents. But I’ll tell you, I’ve seen tens of thousands of people remain composed, to line up to get groceries to people that are scared to go outside, to make sure that people have a walk to their car on their way back home from work.I mean, there have been so many beautiful things that have taken place here in Minneapolis. And I’ll tell you, this is another thing to remember, it’s January in Minneapolis. It’s like negative temperatures out there, but people have never felt warmer.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, Frey went crazy at a press conference following Renee Good’s attempted murder of an ICE agent and subsequent death, telling ICE to “get the f*ck out of Minneapolis.”

“We do not want you here. Your stated reason for being here is to create some kind of safety, and you are doing the opposite!” he added.

“Get the F*ck Out of Minneapolis!” – Far-Left Mayor Jacob Frey Lashes Out at ICE After Woman Attempting to Run Over Agent Fatally Shot (VIDEO)

The post WTH? “It’s About Love,” Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey Says of Violent Anti-ICE Riots While he Defends Telling ICE to “Get the F*ck Out of Minneapolis” – “I Don’t Regret it at All” (VIDEO) appeared first on The Gateway Pundit.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche confirmed on Sunday that the ICE agent who justly shot and killed radical left protester Renee Good, who attempted to run the agent over with her car, will not be mistreated with unnecessary additional investigations into his conduct.

ICE agent Jonathan Ross fatally shot Good last week in self-defense after she tried to run him down with her vehicle in Minneapolis, Minnesota. He and his family have already come under fire and been doxxed by leftists, and now, leftwing media pundits and politicians like Minnesota Governor Tim Walz want him punished legally.

“The only person not being investigated for the shooting of Renee Good is the federal agent who shot her,” Walz said in a Friday X post.

This narrative was pushed by Trump-hating lunatic Margaret Brennan on CBS’s Face the Nation on Sunday. Kristi Noem clarified, “We are following the exact same investigative and review process that we always have under ICE, and under the Department of Homeland Security, and within the administration, the exact same policy that the Biden administration used. So, we haven’t changed any of that.”

She further slammed Tim Walz, saying she “would not listen to Governor Walz,” and highlighting the billions of dollars in welfare fraud by Somali aliens in the state of Minnesota, as well as his failure during the 2020 Black Lives Matter riots. “He has a very bad track record. All this billions of dollars of fraud was stolen from people under his watch. He allowed it to happen, and he also ignored the law and allowed the City of Minneapolis to burn down in 2020,” Noem said.

“I’m not going to be taking any advice from him on how we implement the law and protect people.”

WATCH:

Brennan: The governor of Minnesota said, “The only person not being investigated for the shooting of Renee Good is the federal agent who shot her.” Is he correct that the federal agent is not being investigated in any way? Is there any review of protocol here?

Noem: We are following the exact same investigative and review process that we always have under ICE, and under the Department of Homeland Security, and within the administration, the exact same policy that the Biden administration used. So, we haven’t changed any of that. I would not listen to Governor Walz.

He has a very bad track record. All this billions of dollars of fraud was stolen from people under his watch. He allowed it to happen, and he also ignored the law and allowed the City of Minneapolis to burn down in 2020. He certainly isn’t— have good judgment in these types of situations, and I’m not going to be taking any advice from him on how we implement the law and protect people.

On Fox News Sunday, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche also chimed in, noting that the incident has already been “reviewed by millions and millions of Americans because it was recorded on phones when it happened.”

WATCH:

Blanche: What happened on that day has been reviewed by millions and millions of Americans because it was recorded on phones when it happened. The Civil Rights, the Department of Justice, our Civil Rights unit, we don’t just go out and investigate every time an officer is forced to defend himself against somebody for putting his life in danger. We never do. That has nothing to do with what happened in Minneapolis. There are over 1000 shootings every year, where law enforcement are put in danger by individuals, and they have to protect themselves, and they have a lawful right to do so.

The Department of Justice doesn’t just stand up and investigate because some Congressman thinks we should, because some Governor thinks that we should. We investigate when it’s appropriate to investigate, and that is not the case here. It wasn’t the case when it happened, and it’s not the case today. If circumstances change and there’s something that we do need to investigate around that shooting or any other shooting, we will, but we are not going to bow to pressure from the media, bow to pressure from politicians, and do something that we never do— not under this administration, not under the last administration. And so no, we are not investigating. And if there comes a time when we need to, we will, but it’s not now.

DHS Chief Kristi Noem appeared on CBS’s “Face the Nation” to discuss the ongoing ICE operations in Minnesota as leftists continue to riot.

Noem blasted “Face the Nation” host Margaret Brennan for repeating the ICE agent’s name involved in the fatal shooting of Renee Good.

The ICE agent who fatally shot Renee Good in self-defense after she tried to run him over was doxxed by the media.

He is currently in hiding after leftists threatened him and his family members.

“I know for a fact now he has to be in hiding — for the safety of him and his family,” Tom Homan recently said.

“There are ‘WANTED’ posters with his picture, license plate number, and the death threats,” Homan added.

Margaret Brennan repeated his name during her Sunday show.

“Don’t say his name, for heaven’s sake. We shouldn’t keep doxxing law enforcement! He got attacked with a car, and then people have attacked his family! They are in jeopardy!” Noem said.

“His name is public,” Brennan said.

“We have law enforcement officers every day who are getting death threats and who are getting attacked at their hotels,” Noem added.

WATCH:

The ICE agent who fatally shot Renee Good as she tried to run him over during a lawful immigration operation in Minneapolis last week suffered internal bleeding to his torso.

Renee Good suffered two gun shot wounds to the chest, one to her forearm and another to the left side of her head, according to a newly released fire incident report.
