Trump Vows ‘Day of Reckoning’ After Deadly ICE Shooting in Dark Rant

The 79-year-old president addressed Minnesota residents to tease imminent “retribution.”

President Donald Trump has appealed to Minnesota residents in a bizarre rant about the “patriots of ICE” coming to save them and imminent “retribution.”

In an early morning Truth Social tirade, the 79-year-old president appeared to lash out at Minnesotans after state officials sued to stop more federal immigration agents from entering the state following the fatal shooting of Minneapolis mother Renee Good.

He questioned if the people of Minnesota “really want to live in a community in which there are thousands of already convicted murderers, drug dealers and addicts, rapists, violent released and escaped prisoners, dangerous people from foreign mental institutions and insane asylums, and other deadly criminals too dangerous to even mention.”

ICE Now So Hated Even Their Own Agents Are Terrified

“All the patriots of ICE want to do is remove them from your neighborhood and send them back to the prisons and mental institutions from where they came, most in foreign Countries who illegally entered the USA though Sleepy Joe Biden’s HORRIBLE Open Border’s Policy. Every place we go, crime comes down,” Trump said.

“In Chicago, despite a weak and incompetent Governor and Mayor fighting us all the way, a big improvement was made. Thousands of Criminals were removed! Minnesota Democrats love the unrest that anarchists and professional agitators are causing because it gets the spotlight off of the 19 Billion Dollars that was stolen by really bad and deranged people. FEAR NOT, GREAT PEOPLE OF MINNESOTA, THE DAY OF RECKONING & RETRIBUTION IS COMING!”

The White House has been contacted for comment on the president’s post.

Tensions have been high across the country after Good, a 37-year-old mother of three, was shot three times at point-blank range last week by ICE agent Jonathan Ross.

The Trump administration has scrambled to portray Good as a “domestic terrorist” who deliberately attempted to run over the ICE agent with her vehicle, despite video footage from the scene appearing to show her trying to drive away.

The shooting has sparked anti-ICE protests nationwide, with Democratic lawmakers demanding accountability for the killing.

On Monday, Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison filed a lawsuit against the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), asking a judge to declare the Trump administration’s “unprecedented” surge of federal immigration agents into the state unconstitutional and unlawful.

“The unlawful deployment of thousands of armed, masked, and poorly trained federal agents is hurting Minnesota,” Ellison said in a statement. “People are being racially profiled, harassed, terrorized, and assaulted. Schools have gone into lockdown. Businesses have been forced to close. Minnesota police are spending countless hours dealing with the chaos ICE is causing. This federal invasion of the Twin Cities has to stop, so today I am suing DHS to bring it to an end.”

The lawsuit has the backing of Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, who demanded that ICE “get the f**k out” of the city in the wake of Good’s death.

“Minneapolis didn’t ask for this operation, but we’re paying the price,” Frey said. “When federal actions undermine public safety, harm our neighbors, and violate constitutional rights, we have a responsibility to act. That’s exactly what we’re doing today.”

In the filing, Ellison alleges that Trump targeted Minnesota as part of “Operation Metro Surge” because the state is governed by Democrats and has never supported Trump in any of his presidential campaigns.

The state estimates that Minneapolis Police Department officers logged more than 3,000 additional overtime hours—costing taxpayers over $2 million—between Jan. 8 and Jan. 11 alone, due to heightened law enforcement activity tied to ICE’s “reckless and aggressive immigration enforcement tactics” and the public response to them.
