"Later on Thursday morning, Walz put out a statement that said: I am making a direct appeal to the president: let's turn the temperature down. Stop this campaign of retribution. This is not who we are. And an appeal to Minnesotans: I know this is scary. We can we must speak out loudly, urgently but also peacefully. We cannot fan the flames of chaos. That's what he wants."
"The incident sparked protests in Minneapolis.. The city remains on edge just one week after a federal immigration officer there shot and killed Renee Nicole Good. State investigators have been on the scene in North Minneapolis, Walz wrote on X overnight. I know you're angry. I'm angry. What Donald Trump wants is violence in the streets. But Minnesota will remain an island of decency, of justice, of community, and of peace. Don't give him what he wants."
Donald Trump threatened to invoke the Insurrection Act in Minnesota to end protests over federal immigration enforcement, warning that corrupt local politicians must stop alleged agitators targeting ICE. Governor Tim Walz urged protesters to remain peaceful and appealed directly to the president to de-escalate, calling for an end to retribution and warning against fanning chaotic violence. The immediate unrest followed reports that a federal officer shot a man in the leg during an immigration operation on the city's north side and came a week after a federal officer killed Renee Nicole Good. Minneapolis police described unlawful protest behavior and urged people to disperse.
