The Department of Homeland Security will continue to operate on the ground in Minnesota, not only to remove criminal illegal aliens, but also to continue conducting door to door investigations of the rampant fraud that has taken place in the state under the failed and corrupt leadership of Democrat Governor Tim Walls.
You're listening to the forty seven Morning Update with Ben ferguson.
Good Friday morning.
So nice have you with us on the forty seven Morning Update, And we've got one major story for you. Democrats going into full anarchy mode, especially in Minnesota. The governor in Minnesota describing it as a civil war with the Trump administration and the federal government. The mayor in Minneapolis telling Ice agents to get the f out, and the protesters, who's paying them, who's financing them? And why are we seeing the same tactics being used all over the country.
We break it all down for you.

Story number one.
More fallout in Minneapolis after the attack on an ICE agent that costs a woman her life. Donald Trump blasting the radical left after the ICE agent had no other choice but to shoot the woman who drove the car right into the ICE agent. The reason these incense are happening is because the radical left is threatening, assaulting, and targeting our law enforcement officers. President Trump releasing that statement, blasting the left for ratching up their rhetoric not toning
it down. Trump said the video of the shooting is a horrible thing to watch and added that the woman driving the car was very disorderly, obstructing and resisting, who then violently, willfully and viciously ran over the ice officer
who seems to have shut her in self defense. Based on the attached clip, it is hard to believe he is alive, but is now recovering in the hospital, the President said, regarding the ICE agent who appeared to be clipped by the woman's vehicle, The situation is being studied in its entirety, but the reason these incense are happening is because the radical left just threatening, assaulting, and targeting our law enforcement officers and ICE agents on a daily basis.
The President went on to say, they are just trying to do the job of making America safe. We need to stand by and protect our law enforcement officers from the radical left movement of violence and hatred. Video footage shows ICE agents approaching the woman's car, with one agent attempting to open the driver's side door. Another agent approached the front of the vehicle and the woman began to
drive towards him before three shots were fired. The agent near the front of the vehicle appeared to be clipped by the car. The Minnesota Governor Tim Wallas, however, he's decided to play politics and is basically advocating for more violence, blaming ICE and of course, the Trump administration, he says, for inflaming tensions in Minneapolis. Leading to the deadly shooting on Wednesday. Quote to Minnesotans, I say this, I feel your anger. I'm angry, the governor said during a pro conference.
They want to show. We can't give it to them. We cannot. If you protest and express your First Amendment rights, please do so peacefully as you always do. We can't give them what they want, obviously, the governor, they're lying. It was very clear the woman was not being peaceful and she was using her car as a weapon to try to kill an ICE agent.
Well.
It's also added that he had reached out to the Home Land Security Secretary Christy Nome and is waiting her response.
We also saw the Minnesota.
Democratic mayor Jacob Fry blaming federal agents for the fatal shooting and told ICE to get the f out of Minneapolis.
We don't want you here. He said.
Your state of reason for being in the city is to create some kind of safety, and you're doing exactly the opposite. People are being hurt, families are being ripped apart. Now somebody is dead, and that's on you, and it's also on you to leave. It's on you to make sure that for further damage, further loss of life an injury is not done. Yet again the Democratic Party showing that they are wanting to go political on a tragic event and not being honest about what actually happened and
treating law enforcement like they're somehow the bad guys. But this is exactly why Minneapolis got to the point where it is with massive amounts of fraud, waste, and abuse. Vice President Jade Vance also coming out and saying this at the White House.
President, thank you for taking questions today. Is there a risk with you describing for as a deranged left as talking about very specific facts of these events when an investigation is just beginning. Are you preempting a thorough investigation by drawing such conclusions? And have you received any information beyond the videos we've seen publicly about this individual per specific acts that has informed your.
Point of view.
Well, first of all, the Department of Justice is going to investigate this. The Department Homeland Security is already investigating this. But the simple fact is what you see is what you get. In this case, you have a woman who
is trying to obstruct a legitimate law enforcement operation. Nobody debates that you have a woman who aimed her car at a law enforcement officer, and pressed on the accelerator, nobody debates that I can believe that her death is a tragedy while also recognizing that it's a tragedy of her own making and a tragedy of the far left, who has marshaled an entire movement, a lunatic fringe against
our law enforcement officers. I think what is clearly happening here and it's going to keep on happening unless the Democrats wake up and say, you know what, you don't have to agree with our immigration policies. You don't have to agree with what the president or the vice president believe about immigration enforcement. But why don't you take this to the ballot box?
Why don't you vote?
Why don't you organize instead? What some of them are doing, what some of them are doing is encouraging people to get violent with our law enforcement officials. It's disgraceful and it's got to stop.
Evans wasn't done there. He also was asked this.
Our related question here. I mean Democrats have accused Ice of murder. They said they're targeting Americans. They told Ice to get the f out of Minnesota. This is going to stoke with the fire against ICE agents, And you're talking about ICE agents right now and taken sort about them, What if anything, is the administration going to do to make sure these folks aren't protected during these protests?
But also should DHS sort of revisit their procedures here? I mean, nobody wants to see an American killed.
Are there changes that need to be made to make sure something like this doesn't happen yet?
So, first of all, of course, nobody wants an American citizen to be killed. This is absolutely a tragedy, but it's a tragedy of the making of the far left. They have radicalized a very small segment of the population, taught them that ICE agents are engaging in wide scale violation of people's rights. What our ice officers are doing is deporting the millions of criminal aliens that were let
in during the Biden administrations. So number one, we have to say, as a matter of leadership, and I would appreciate if the Democrats would join me on this, let's be honest about the fact that we have way too many illegal aliens in this country. Our ice officers should be supported in doing their job. You're trying to actually marshal the far left lunatic fringe, to engage in doxing, to try to make it impossible for them to enforce the law, and in some cases actually to engage in
acts of domestic terrorism against our law enforcement officers. When you talk about different plans, different protocols, different policies, I forget exactly how you asked the question. Here's the simple fact. What we're going to do is make it easier for the American People's Administration to enforce the American People's Law. And that means that Democrats have to stop rallying the mob against legitimate law enforcement operations. And that means that
we are going to get tougher. And that's what this AAG position is about. We're going to get tougher at the people who are defrauding the United States by inciting violence against our lawf forcement officers. That's one of the things that we're gonna do. We've already started that work at the Department of Justice, but we're going to keep on doing it. And this new AAG position is going to kick that into high gear.
Vice President J. D.
Van Sayer making it very clear that the White House is not going to back down no matter what the Left decides to do. He also says that the new Assistant ag will have the job of getting to the bottom of who is funding the protests against ICE agents across the entire country. Clearly it's well organized and the radical left is paying for it, paying literally the protesters.
Vice President Vance, you just suggested that this woman who was killed, Rene Good, is part of a broader left wing network. Who do you think is behind this broader left wing network.
Well, it's one of the things we're gonna have to figure out. But here's the way that I put it. When somebody throws a brick at an ICE agent, or somebody tries to run over an ICE agent who paid for the brick and who told protesters to show up and engage in violent activity against our law enforcement officers. You see, just with this most recent terrible incident in Minneapolis, you see friends of this woman's or other people who are eyewitnesses saying basically that she was there to engage
in obstruction of a legitimate law enforcement operation. How did she get there, How did she learn about this? There's an entire network, and frankly, some of the media are participating in it that is trying to incite violence against
our law enforcement officers. It's ridiculous, it's preposterous, and part of our investigatory work is getting to the bottom of it, who's funding it, who's supporting it, who's cheerleading it, and of course, if there's a legal activity related to that, we're going to get to the bottom of that and prosecute it where we can.
It's very clear Donald Trump and the White House, the Vice President, Christy Nome, and everyone else in this administration is clearly focused on keeping law enforcement safe and also investigating who is funding those that are attacking ICE agents. Just to put in perspective, in the last month, more than one hundred cars have been used by protesters to target and attack ICE agents all over the country.
