Angie Craig, who suggested calling 911 if ICE officers enter private businesses too prompt local police intervention. The article cites the death of Renee Good-who allegedly attempted to run over an ICE officer-and reports of activists interrupting a church service as context for its argument that some on the left are encouraging selective law-breaking.<\/p>\n<p>The writer argues that urging mass 911 calls to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/renee-good-was-a-member-of-ice-watch-group-thats-active-around-the-country-report\/\" title=\"Renee Good Was a Member of &#039;... Watch&#039; Group That&#039;s Active Around the Country: ...ort\">disrupt federal enforcement<\/a> is both illegal and perilous, explaining that non-emergency calls clog limited emergency-response infrastructure and can delay help for real emergencies. The piece accuses Democrats of hypocrisy over federal authority (the Supremacy Clause) and frames the tactics as reckless, concluding with a sarcastic warning about escalating lawlessness.  <\/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><\/p>\n<p>Good news, everybody! We&rsquo;re well on our way to making &ldquo;The Purge&rdquo; a year-long reality.<\/p>\n<p>You know &ldquo;The Purge&rdquo; &mdash; the movie franchise in which, for one night a year, all lawlessness is tolerated so that humanity can get it out of their system. It&rsquo;ll take a while to get there, sure. But for the second time in five years, leftists in general and Minneapolis leftists in particular want to give the theory that undergirds it a trial run by deciding which laws we can choose to obey.<\/p>\n<p>After Renee Good thought she could run over an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer with her SUV without consequences, leftists were furious that consequences were indeed there: namely, Good is now dead, because she disobeyed explicit orders from law enforcement and used her vehicle as a potentially deadly weapon. Then, to protest ICE some more, a group of activists seemingly violated federal civil rights law which prohibits interfering with religious services by doing just that, all because one of the pastors at the church allegedly worked with the ICE field office. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/unbelievable-don-lemon-lectures-pastor-christianity-anti-ice-rioters-storm-church-service\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Former CNN anchor Don Lemon narrated approvingly<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Anti-ICE mobs are now storming Christian Church services in Minnesota.<\/p>\n<p>Where is Governor Tim Walz?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/5SeeeXZtOR\">pic.twitter.com\/5SeeeXZtOR<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; America (@america) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/america\/status\/2013047759780155838?\">January 19, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p> <script type=\"text\/javascript\"> \t\t\tif ( getCookie( \"ff_subbed\" ) ) { \t\t\t\tdocument.getElementById(\"stnvideo\").remove() \t\t\t} else { \t\t\t\tdocument.addEventListener(\"DOMContentLoaded\", function() { \t\t\t\t\tfunction loadScript(src) { \t\t\t\t\t\tconst script=document.createElement(\"script\"); \t\t\t\t\t\tscript.src=src; \t\t\t\t\t\tscript.async=true; \t\t\t\t\t\tdocument.body.appendChild(script); \t\t\t\t\t} \t\t\t\t\tfunction findPreviousParagraph(selector, x) { \t\t\t\t\t\tconst targetElement=document.querySelector(selector); \t\t\t\t\t\tif (!targetElement) { \t\t\t\t\t\t\tconsole.warn(\"Target element not found.\"); \t\t\t\t\t\t\treturn null; \t\t\t\t\t\t}  \t\t\t\t\t\t\/\/ Get all <\/p>\n<p> elements in order as they appear in the document \t\t\t\t\t\tlet paragraphs=Array.from(document.querySelectorAll(\"p\"));  \t\t\t\t\t\t\/\/ Find the index of the last <\/p>\n<p> before the target element \t\t\t\t\t\tlet targetIndex=paragraphs.findIndex(p=> p.compareDocumentPosition(targetElement) & Node.DOCUMENT_POSITION_PRECEDING);  \t\t\t\t\t\tif (targetIndex===-1 || targetIndex <x) { \t\t\t\t\t\t\tconsole.warn(\"Not enough paragraphs before the target element.\"); \t\t\t\t\t\t\treturn null; \t\t\t\t\t\t}  \t\t\t\t\t\treturn paragraphs[targetIndex - x]; \t\t\t\t\t}  \t\t\t\t\t\/\/ Set up IntersectionObserver \t\t\t\t\tfunction observeElement(element) { \t\t\t\t\t\tif (!element) return;  \t\t\t\t\t\tconst observer=new IntersectionObserver( \t\t\t\t\t\t\t(entries)=> { \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tentries.forEach(entry=> { \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tif (entry.isIntersecting) { \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tconsole.log(\"Paragraph is now visible:\", entry.target.textContent.trim()); \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tloadScript(\"https:\/\/embed.sendtonews.com\/player3\/embedcode.js?fk=s28Az7AY\"); \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tobserver.disconnect(); \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t} \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t}); \t\t\t\t\t\t\t}, \t\t\t\t\t\t\t{ threshold: 0.5 } \/\/ Adjust threshold as needed \t\t\t\t\t\t);  \t\t\t\t\t\tobserver.observe(element); \t\t\t\t\t}  \t\t\t\t\t\/\/ Find the 1st paragraph before #stnvideo and observe it \t\t\t\t\tlet paragraphToObserve=findPreviousParagraph(\"#stnvideo\", 2); \t\t\t\t\tobserveElement(paragraphToObserve); \t\t\t\t}); \t\t\t} \t\t<\/script> <\/p>\n<p>And now, Minnesota Democratic Rep.

Let&rsquo;s instead talk about the fact that 1) calling 911 for spurious reasons is a crime and 2) it&rsquo;s a crime for a reason.<\/p>\n<p>No. 1 is prima facie fact. If you call 911 and you are not experiencing a real emergency &mdash; someone enforcing the law does not count &mdash; you can and will get charged with a crime. No. 2, instead, is worth exploring.<\/p>\n<p>The 911 system still functions on the same infrastructure it was designed with, even in this digital age, which means there are plenty of choke points. There&rsquo;s the telephone infrastructure, including the trunk line. Then you have the human elements &mdash; a call-taker who processes the information, and a dispatcher who makes a decision on whether or not to deploy resources to deal with the situation.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, estimates are that non-emergency calls take 30 to 90 seconds at minimum, even if a pattern of spuriousness emerges. Multiply this by thousands and you can see how it would fry the emergency response system &mdash; and why? To protest Donald Trump&rsquo;s administration <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/photos-5-worst-evil-illegals-ice-officer-ross-working-arrest-renee-good-tried-murder\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">arresting illegals who also sexually molest little kids<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>If these are occupied as Minnesotans call 911 <em>en masse<\/em> because ICE officers are enforcing the law they&rsquo;re there to enforce, this means that people with actual emergencies &mdash; fires, heart attacks, home invasions &mdash; will either wait longer, or potentially even get a busy signal.<\/p>\n<p>But this isn&rsquo;t important to Rep. Craig. She&rsquo;s willing to put your life on the line so that lawbreakers who are illegally in this country can stay there. Sorry, but you heard the woman: This isn&rsquo;t the time for &ldquo;Minnesota nice.&rdquo; Should&rsquo;ve had that aneurysm when tens of millions of illegals were flooding into the country without serious <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/republicans-demand-ed-secretary-miguel-cardona-turn-over-communications-re-nsba-letter-targeting-parents\/\" title=\"...ublicans Demand Ed.
