Battle of Minneapolis

After a new episode of violence between ICE agents in Minneapolis on Wednesday night, President Donald Trump threatened to invoke the Insurrection Act of 1807, a law that allows the use of military force on U.S. soil to suppress an uprising or invasion. Trump warned that he would use the law “if the corrupt politicians of Minnesota do not enforce the laws and stop the professional agents and the uprising against ICE patriots.”

Local government against anti-immigration agents

“It’s unacceptable,” said Minneapolis Democratic Mayor Jacob Frey. According to the White House, the riot charges relate to Frey and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, a former vice presidential candidate with Kamala Harris, who are accused of encouraging the unrest.

Violent incident

In a targeted operation, an ICE agent fatally shot a Venezuelan immigrant, Julio Cesar Sosa-Celis, in the leg, who was in the U.S. illegally and resisting arrest. Two people approached to help him, attacking the agent.

Then about 200 people arrived, clashing with agents through tear gas and attacks on federal vehicles. Mayor Frey said: “Go home, we are not opposing Trump’s chaos with our chaos.” Governor Walz added that Trump wants violence in the streets. “I know you are angry, and so am I. Trump wants violence in the streets. Don’t let it happen.”

After Renee Good's death, the government declared Agent Jonathan Ross a hero and the victim a "domestic terrorist," prompting protests and criticism from Governor Walz. He demanded "an end to this occupation" of 3,000 federal agents in a city with only 600 local police officers. The agents are stopping people at random, including American citizens, checking IDs in supermarkets, bus stops and schools, breaking windows and dragging pregnant women into the streets.

The Minneapolis Star Tribune writes that Minnesota is under siege. “Minnesota is under siege. ICE has changed every aspect of its citizens’ lives. Armed and masked agents stop every American they meet, especially people of a certain color, accent or style of dress, and the confrontations are often violent.”

Debate on legality

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem has said that ICE's operations are legal and "targeted," although relatives of suspects have sometimes been questioned. The law allows for the arrest of those who obstruct agents, but the method used is causing controversy.

The ICE manual, according to the New York Times, advises using “minimal force,” professional communication, and using force only if the agent’s life is at risk. However, Trump and his team have been criticized for encouraging aggressive tactics. Agents do not have absolute immunity, but it is difficult for states to prosecute their actions.

As a result, at least six federal prosecutors have resigned in Minnesota. Trump's actions have divided the opinion of his supporters: 59% of Republicans support ICE arrests even with the risk of collateral damage, while 39% think collateral damage should be reduced, even if it reduces the number of arrests./ Corriere della Sera
