Former President Bill Clinton threw gasoline on the fire on Sunday after violence erupted in Minneapolis this weekend following a fatal ICE-involved shooting.

ICE agents are conducting raids in Minnesota because Democrat Governor Tim Walz and other Democrat leaders are not cooperating with federal immigration enforcement officers.

Governor Walz and far-left Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey have encouraged anti-ICE agitators to fight back in get in the face of federal agents.

DHS law enforcement officers were conducting a targeted operation in Minneapolis against an illegal alien wanted for violent assault when an armed man approached Border Patrol officers, the DHS said.

The armed man, identified as 37-year-old Alex Jeffrey Pretti from South Minneapolis, appeared to attack federal law enforcement agents before he was fatally shot.

Pretti was reportedly armed with a handgun and had two additional full magazines.

Earlier this month, Renee Good was fatally shot after she tried to run over an ICE agent.

Bill Clinton fanned the flames after this weekend’s fatal officer-involved shooting.

“Over the course of a lifetime, we face only a few moments where the decisions we make and the actions we take will shape our history for years to come,” Clinton said in a statement on Sunday.

“This is one of them,” Clinton added.

“People, including children, have been seized from their homes, workplaces, and the street by masked federal agents. Peaceful protestors and citizen exercising their constitutional right to observe and document law enforcement have been arrested, beaten, teargassed, and most searingly, in the cases of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, shot and killed,” Clinton said,

Clinton also accused members of the Trump Administration of lying.

Never forget that Elian Gonzalez, the little boy who survived a Cuban shipwreck, was seized at gunpoint on Bill Clinton’s orders.

Federal agents stormed into a Miami home and took the 6-year-old child out of the home and returned him to his father in Cuba.

Can you believe Trump did this to a 5-year-old?

House Oversight Chairman James Comer was on “Sunday Morning Futures” to talk about the chaos of the anti-ICE agitators.

Bartiromo commented on the anti-ICE agitator who was shot by Border Patrol agents in Minneapolis.

“We do not know if there was any pushback from this individual, who was armed. We do not have evidence that he was waving a gun, doing anything to threaten Border Patrol,” Bartiromo said.

“That’s what he was doing, recording the incident,” Bartiromo said.

“What is your reaction? And you are an elected official. What can you do about it?” Bartiromo asked.

“I don’t think there is any question that a majority of Americans want President Trump and ICE to go in and apprehend the criminal illegals. That’s what President Trump campaigned on, and he’s doing exactly what he said,” Comer said.

Comer explained the difference between results in Washington, DC, with a cooperative Mayor, and the chaos in Minnesota, where state and local officials have been defiant of federal law enforcement.

“I look at what happened in Minneapolis versus what happened in Washington DC. When President Trump took the National Guard into Washington DC, the Mayor, Mayor Muriel Bowser, supported that. She worked, her local law enforcement worked with the President, and in a short period of time, they have really been successful in reducing the amount of crime in Washington DC,” Comer continued.

“Fast forward to where we are in Minneapolis. We have a Governor, an Attorney General, and a Mayor of Minneapolis who are getting people jacked up, trying to get them, you know, convinced that this is, you know, some type of illegal raid,” Comer said.

“It’s very clear that the majority of Americans want the criminal illegals apprehended and that’s what ICE is trying to do,” Comer continued.

“Do we know that ICE saw the gun? Do we know that it was visible? Or was this a guy with a camera recording the incident, and knowing that he was armed, they learned that later?” Bartiromo asked.

“We don’t know. I’m like you and every other American. I’ve watched that video dozens of times in slow motion. I’ve tried to determine whether he actually pulled a gun out, or not. I don’t know,” Comer explained.

“I just know that the situation is bad there. On one hand there are thousands of criminal illegals in Minnesota,” Comer said.

“The majority of Minnesotans in my opinion, want them apprehended and sent back to where they came from,” Comer continued.

“We played a soundbite earlier from Governor Tim Walz who told residents to make sure to film ICE agents. And I imagine that this individual had taken that directive and was filming ICE agents,” Bartiromo commented.

After the recent threats in Utah, most notably the horrifying, politically motivated murder of Charlie Kirk, one would have hoped their schools would have toned down the anti-American rhetoric. Unfortunately, they haven’t.

In the latest in radical University “thought” according to Campus Reform, “This semester, the University of Utah English Department is offering a course on “Black Trans Lesbian Marxists Who Scare You (and are probably pro-Palestinian too).”

This is a clear waste of time and money that advances academic discourse in absolutely zero ways.

The description for this absurd course reads as one would expect from a cultural marxist playbook, stating, “we’re all about the viewpoint diversity.”

The students taking this course are required to read absurdly sexually explicit content.

One of the readings for the course is even called “Argument for the Low-Budget Gay Movie.” There are other “classics” such as “Gay Guerrilla” and “Evil N****r.”

Not everyone at this school is amused by this absurd choice of reading.

One student named “Rylie Barnes told Campus Reform that she thinks “this course makes me feel like it’s less like an open academic course and more of an environment made to discourage debate and pressure conformity.”

Barnes argued that “it’s courses like this that pressure conservatives who already feel marginalized on campus.”

It’s absurd and offensive that a course like this would require students to read such horrendous and explicit works.

The fact that this didn’t occur in a blue state but rather in an officially red state shows yet again how academia across the board has almost completely been captured by the woke left.

One hopes that the movement that elected President Trump will do more to end the American Marxist takeover of academia and end the so-called cultural revolution.

As important as it is to have conservatives in government, we should not just accept American cultural institutions teaching subversive ideologies as this course does.

We must have patience, but put an end to the long march through our academic institutions.

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz compared President Donald Trump’s immigration enforcement operations to the Nazis’ arresting Anne Frank during a press conference on Sunday at the State Emergency Operations Center in Blaine.

Walz complained that minor illegal aliens and the children of illegal aliens are afraid to go to school.

“Allow our children to go back to school. We have got children in Minnesota hiding in their houses, afraid to go outside,” Walz said. “Many of us grew up reading that story of Anne Frank. Somebody’s going to write that children’s story about Minnesota.”

This isn’t Walz’s first time comparing immigration enforcement to Nazi Germany.

Last year, Walz called ICE President Trump’s “modern-day Gestapo.”

At another point during the press conference, Walz pleaded with Trump supporters to “jump ship” and join Democrats in opposing ICE.

“You’re allowed to decide at any point that you are not with this anymore,” Walz said. “If you voted for the administration, heck even if you thought Operation Metro Surge was a good idea and sounded like something we could do about it a month ago, you’re still allowed to look at what’s happening here in Minnesota and say this isn’t what I wanted or what I want.”

The governor urged attendees to “speak out, share what you see, urge others, put politics aside.”

Walz also outrageously claimed, “We all want secure borders and immigration enforcement that prioritizes criminals,” though his actions show that is not the case.

Minnesota’s sanctuary policies, under his leadership, have long hindered federal immigration efforts.

DHS has repeatedly warned about a surge in violence against its officers, attributing it to “radical rhetoric” from sanctuary politicians.

In a statement earlier this month, DHS reported an unprecedented 1,300% increase in assaults on ICE officers and a 3,200% increase in vehicular attacks compared to previous years.

“The hateful rhetoric and resistance against men and women who are simply trying to do their jobs must end. Federal law enforcement officers are facing a more than 1,300% increase in assaults against them as they put their lives on the line to arrest criminals and lawbreakers,” the department said in a statement.

Ambassador Mike Waltz was on “Fox News Sunday” with host Shannon Bream to talk about Greenland and President Trump working to protect Americans.

Ambassador Waltz explained that during President Trump’s term in office, NATO allies increased their contributions.

“Just from a broader NATO standpoint. Look at where NATO was at the beginning of President Trump’s first term, with less than seven countries contributing the bare minimum. Now, not only do you have everyone contributing the bare minimum, you have a number going to double that,” Waltz said.

“NATO is far better for some of the tough love from President Trump,” Waltz said.

Waltz explained that Russia and China pose a threat to the Arctic and that President Trump is being proactive to keep the United States secure from our adversaries.

“I have to push back respectfully on this notion that there aren’t imminent threats in the Arctic. Russia is modernizing its nuclear program. It has nuclear powered cruise missiles now that they are testing to evade our radars. China is tripling the size of its nuclear arsenal,” Waltz warned.

“All of those assets, all of those missiles, will fly over the Arctic if they were ever to attack the United States,” Waltz said.

“President Trump is not going to wait until they are right there on our doorstep,” Waltz continued.

“Look at the shipping lanes. Russia, 60 icebreakers, China, building its own fleet. What has President Trump done? He’s now commissioned with Finland a plan to get a dozen of our own icebreakers up there,” Waltz continued.

“How many heavy icebreakers from Denmark or from Canada, Shannon? Zero, zero,” Waltz commented.

“Denmark is a great ally in many ways, but they have ignored Greenland from a defense standpoint,” Waltz explained.

“President Trump is gonna do what it takes to defend the American people, even when our allies are ignoring these glaring threats,” Waltz continued.
