Vance pins Minneapolis unrest on local cooperation with ICE, urges tougher federal enforcement

Sen. JD Vance argued that Minneapolis’s local officials aren’t cooperating with ICE and urged a more targeted federal crackdown to reduce chaos, while Gov. Walz dismissed political theater and said Minnesota won’t be drawn into it; the episode coincides with a DOJ probe that subpoenaed Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Frey over local enforcement, and ICE operations have sparked controversy including the detention of a five-year-old and protests.
