Trump blasts Minn. pols for ‘inciting insurrection’ in wake of shooting: ‘Where are local police?’

 President Trump accused Minnesota officials of “inciting insurrection” in the wake of Saturday’s shooting of a 37-year-old man who brandished a gun near federal agents as they tried to arrest a migrant.

The president posted a photo of the gun authorities said belonged to the man, who died at the scene.

“This is the gunman’s gun, loaded (with two additional full magazines!), and ready to go – What is that all about?” Trump posted on Truth Social.

“Where are the local Police? Why weren’t they allowed to protect ICE Officers?”

Trump slammed Gov. Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey for their vocal objections to the presence of immigration agents in the city.

“The Mayor and the Governor are inciting Insurrection, with their pompous, dangerous, and arrogant rhetoric!” he wrote.

“Instead, these sanctimonious political fools should be looking for the Billions of Dollars that has been stolen from the people of Minnesota, and the United States of America. LET OUR ICE PATRIOTS DO THEIR JOB!”

The president insisted that things would be worse if ICE officials hadn’t made so many arrests.

“12,000 Illegal Alien Criminals, many of them violent, have been arrested and taken out of Minnesota. If they were still there, you would see something far worse than you are witnessing today!” he wrote.

Federal forces are in Minnesota because of the ongoing welfare fraud scandal in the state, the president said.

“Why does Ilhan Omar have $34 Million Dollars in her account?” he wrote in the lengthy post in reference to the Minnesota congresswoman.

“And where are the Tens of Billions of Dollars that have been stolen from the once Great State of Minnesota? We are there because of massive Monetary Fraud, with Billions of Dollars missing, and Illegal Criminals that were allowed to infiltrate the State through the Democrats’ Open Border Policy.”

“We want the money back, and we want it back, NOW,” the president continued. “Those Fraudsters who stole the money are going to jail, where they belong! This is no different than a really big Bank Robbery. Much of what you’re witnessing is a COVER UP for this Theft and Fraud.”

Walz later called in the Minnesota National Guard in response to the shooting of Alex Jeffrey Pretti, who died at the scene after allegedly trying to intervene in the arrest of a criminal migrant.
