AOC Hits Back at JD Vance over Latest Minneapolis Comments

Vice President JD Vance criticized local police for not aiding off-duty federal immigration officers surrounded by protesters during a Minneapolis restaurant incident amid rising tensions.

  • During a post on X, Vice President JD Vance wrote that off-duty ICE and CBP officers in Minneapolis were doxed, locked in a mobbed restaurant as local police refused to respond, and federal agents eventually arrived, adding `The solution is staring everyone in the face`.
  • After the earlier killing of Renee Nicole Good this month, federal agents shot and killed ICU nurse Alex Pretti on Saturday, prompting Governor Tim Walz to activate the Minnesota National Guard.
  • Local leaders pushed back, rejecting Vance's framing and urging Washington to withdraw 3,000 immigration agents, while Vance faced backlash for complaining about agents' interrupted dinner.
  • On the political front, Senate Democrats warned they may withhold funding for the Department of Homeland Security, while Minneapolis attorney Chris Madel ended his gubernatorial campaign on Monday in protest.
  • President Donald Trump announced he is sending border czar Tom Homan to Minneapolis, calling him 'tough but fair,' while Steve Bannon urged harsher enforcement as senior administration figures defended agents' actions.
