48 hours after the deadly shooting of an ICE protester, state and federal authorities are clashing over its legality as violent demonstrations once again grip Minneapolis. Daily Wire senior editor Cabot Phillips is here with the latest on the fallout. Hey, Cabot. So let's start with what's happening in the city. Protests, as Georgia said, really gripping Minneapolis. What's the latest on the ground? Yeah, even before this shooting, there had been quite a bit of pushback against ICE agents operating in Minneapolis, but things have certainly escalated in the last 24 hours. Large crowds Thursday congregated outside of ICE detention facilities across Minneapolis, attempting to block the street and also clashing with federal authorities.
And now there are real concerns that things could get even worse. In preparation, Minneapolis public schools canceled all classes on Thursday and Friday, and Governor Tim Walz has ordered the state's National Guard to prepare for mobilization if Whiteskill rioting does take place. Remember, he was widely criticized after waiting weeks during the George Floyd riots back in 2020 to actually mobilize the Guard, and it looks like he's trying to avoid that this time around. Now, for her part, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem offered a fiery defense of the ICE officers' actions and had this warning for agitators who were looking to riot this weekend.
If you lay a finger on one of our officers, we will catch you, we will prosecute you, and you will feel the full extent of the law.
All right, so that's Noem, who's been very vocal in the last couple of days. What have we heard from the White House? As you can imagine, they are standing firm across the board in their belief that the shooting was justified. Multiple cabinet members on Thursday pointed to newly released slow motion video from the confrontation that shows the victim seemingly hitting the gas, causing her tires to spin forward as agents approach from the front and driver's side of the car. And because of snow and ice on the road, the tires at first spun out, but they argue the agent obviously would have heard the engine revving.
