Key Highlights

  • “ICE OUT” signs are a feature of front lawns, placed into the snowpiles.
  • JD Vance came to Minnesota on Thursday calling for people to turn down the temperature – but placed the blame on local leaders, not on federal forces.“You ask us for peace, and we give it, and we get shot in the face on the streets coming out of a donut shop,” said Tim Walz, Minnesota’s governor, during a press conference after Saturday’s killing. In a now-familiar sequence of events, the federal government placed blame on the person killed before completing an investigation.
  • Donald Trump issued a screed about fraud in the state.
  • Local officials immediately cast doubt on the federal statements, citing videos of the scene, and have insisted local law enforcement need to be involved in an investigation. At the scene of the shooting, people poured into the street as dozens of federal agents repeatedly shot chemicals into the air and at people who were yelling at them.
  • Some were arrested.
