What actions is President Trump considering regarding anti-ICE protests in Minnesota?
President Trump threatens to raise the stakes for anti-ice agitators in Minnesota. Several European countries deploy troops to Greenland and four astronauts return home. I'm Daily Wire Executive Editor John Bickley with Georgia Howe. It's Thursday, January 15th. This is Evening Wire.
President Trump says he may invoke the Insurrection Act in Minnesota. Daily Wire Senior Editor Cabot Phillips has the latest.
Which European countries are deploying troops to Greenland and why?
The president is warning the, quote, professional agitators and insurrectionists against targeting federal immigration agents amid escalating unrest in Minneapolis. The move would allow the president to deploy the military or federalize the National Guard to restore order. Trump's comments follow a second ICE-related shooting in the city this week and days of protests that turned violent, with fireworks thrown at officers and multiple arrests reported. Minnesota's Democratic leaders pushed back Thursday, accusing Trump of stoking chaos, while the White House says federal agents are under coordinated attack and must be protected. Here's White House Press Secretary Caroline Leavitt today answering a question from Daily Wire White House correspondent Mary Margaret Olihan.
I would encourage Governor Walz and other Democrats who are demeaning law enforcement to sit down and have a cup of coffee with an ICE agent or a Border Patrol agent. These are great patriotic men and women who have families who put on the uniform every day. They are simply trying to enforce the law. And the Democrat Party has demeaned these individuals. They've even referred to them as Nazis and as the Gestapo. And that is absolutely leading to the violence we're seeing in the streets. If you look at some of the images out of Minneapolis last night, look at this vehicle. It says F ICE.
What are the implications of Trump's comments on ICE and law enforcement?
People don't do this without encouragement from people in power who make them feel like it's okay.
Details are coming in on another shooting in Minneapolis, this time after an ICE officer was allegedly attacked with a shovel last night. Daily Wire immigration reporter Jenny Ter has the story.
An ICE agent has been hospitalized in Minneapolis after being ambushed by three illegal immigrants from Venezuela. According to DHS, the agent conducted a traffic stop on a suspect who then attempted to flee in their vehicle. After crashing into a parked car, the perp took off on foot. Amid the officer's pursuit of the suspect, two other individuals emerged from a nearby apartment and proceeded to beat the agent with a shovel and broom handle. The officer fired his weapon in self-defense, hitting one of the suspects, who then all fled inside before being taken into custody. Anti-ICE protesters swarmed the scene soon after. In a press conference after the incident, Mayor Jacob Frey blamed the Trump administration, calling ICE's conduct disgusting and intolerable.
What details emerged about the recent ICE-related shooting in Minneapolis?
For anyone that is taking the bait tonight, stop. That is not helpful. Go home. We cannot counter Donald Trump's chaos with our own brand of chaos. And I have seen thousands of people throughout our city peacefully protesting. For those that have peacefully protested, I applaud you. For those that are taking the bait, you are not helping, and you are not helping the undocumented immigrants in our city.
Meanwhile, ICE continues to make arrests in the city. They picked up a slew of illegal immigrants yesterday, including several convicted of sexual assault and drug trafficking. Several European countries deployed troops to Greenland Wednesday. France, Germany, Sweden, Norway, and Britain each sent between one and 15 troops for a two-day mission to bolster the island's defenses. Leaders say the deployment demonstrates their ability to deploy military resources quickly. The Danish Ministry of Defense issued the following statement, quote, from today, there will be an expanded military presence in and around Greenland in close cooperation with NATO allies. The purpose is to train the ability to operate under the unique Arctic conditions and to strengthen the alliance's footprint in the Arctic, benefiting both European and transatlantic security.
