Trump Threatens ‘Day of Reckoning And Retribution’ For Minnesota In Fiery Social Media Rant

ICE has continued its long and heavy deployment to the state of Minnesota, which is once again being treated as a battleground in America’s various culture wars. This was true before the killing last week of Renee Nicole Good by an ICE agent, and even more so after.

Minnesotans have been protesting against the presence of agents in the state, and Minnesota’s attorney general, Keith Ellison, joined the mayors of Minneapolis and St. Paul in suing the Department of Homeland Security over the deployments. The Minnesota Timberwolves held a moment of silence for Good before a home game last week, during which one fan shouted, “go home, ICE” and the crowd cheered.

The president, though, has made clear that he’s not backing down, sending out an ominous Truth Social post Tuesday in which he vowed, “FEAR NOT, GREAT PEOPLE OF MINNESOTA, THE DAY OF RECKONING & RETRIBUTION IS COMING.”

“Do 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. 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,” Trump wrote in his Tuesday morning screed.

The post was shared by the X account of the Department of Homeland Security:

It’s not clear what exactly Trump meant by “day of reckoning and retribution.” Is he planning to arrest the state’s leaders? Further pull away funding? Social media users had some ideas.
