In normal states, the police would come help control the crowds. Minnesota is a lawless state so ICE is on their own. 

Who is paying for all this?
Who are the judges and politicians that protect & aid domestic terrorists?@realDonaldTrump we need a public list of exposure, and the judges need to be arrested! https://t.co/AAImJppB2s

Probably some NGO receiving American tax dollars.

Technically kidnapping and a fire code violation. https://t.co/nz2HfrUzcp

Unfortunately, the police won’t help them.

Just your everyday peaceful protestors showing up with

When they start dropping off loads of bricks, ICE agents better keep their heads on a swivel.

Time to invoke the Insurrection Act! https://t.co/PHS2xgq5aT

They are the opposite of peaceful.

Who paid for the U-Haul? It shouldn’t be that hard to follow the money and arrest these people.

— LCHobbs (@lc_hobbs) January 23, 2026

This certainly can’t be tolerated. 

Every single one of them should be arrested.

These people are like children. They keep upping the ante until they receive a punishment.

They won’t stop until they feel some pain.

where those shield just laying around the back yard???

— Carla Dunn (@abgrammie) January 23, 2026

That’s likely Antifa. Haven’t they been declared domestic terrorists?

— July Sunshine (@JulySunshine3) January 23, 2026

Sure sounds like what they do!

We’ve seen this from antifa since 2016.. I thought @realDonaldTrump was dealing with these antifa scum?

It seems to be a very similar pattern.

Apparently these people are immune from the law.

That’s the frustrating part. If other people got in the way of law enforcement, they would be arrested.

This is another example of a state militia impeding federal forces. pic.twitter.com/0FuUKMFsa1

It’s scary to think about.
