Tim Walz for calling for calm after protests in Minneapolis disrupted ICE operations following the fatal shooting of 37-year-old anti-ICE activist Renee Good. It recounts videos that, the article says, show Good appearing to drive her car at an ICE agent who then shot her; the <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >agent suffered internal injuries<\/a>. The piece argues Walz and other Democrats-citing prior rhetoric in which walz reportedly spoke of &#8220;war&#8221; against the federal government and city leaders&#8217; anti-ICE stances-helped inflame tensions and are now being hypocritical by urging de-escalation. Social media users reacted harshly, the article notes, accusing Walz of stoking violence and failing to enforce immigration holds.It also mentions President Trump&#8217;s threat to invoke the Insurrection Act to restore order,and concludes with a partisan call for Walz&#8217;s arrest and predicts Democrats would portray him as a martyr.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_1)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>If justice prevails, then unhinged leftists will probably turn Democratic Gov.
