JD Vance Calls Out Far Left for Undermining Immigration Enforcement Amid Minneapolis Chaos

By Patriot News Investigative Desk | January 22, 2026

Vice President JD Vance exposes how far-left activism in Minneapolis endangers immigration enforcement efforts, fueling lawlessness that threatens American security and sovereignty.

In a candid address from his home state of Ohio, Vice President JD Vance confronted the dangerous chaos unleashed by far-left activists who obstruct lawful immigration enforcement efforts. Speaking ahead of his visit to Minneapolis—a city rattled by protests following the fatal shooting of Renee Good by an ICE agent—Vance pinpointed political obstructionism as the root cause of spiraling disorder.

Why Is the Far Left Sacrificing American Security for Political Theater?

“If you want to turn down the chaos in Minneapolis, stop fighting immigration enforcement and accept that we have to have a border in this country,” Vance declared. His message strikes at the heart of a critical issue: national sovereignty cannot be maintained if activist groups encourage defiance against federal agents charged with protecting our borders and enforcing laws. For hardworking Americans demanding order, this resistance is more than political posturing—it threatens their safety and freedoms.

Minneapolis has become a flashpoint where protestors openly challenge Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), disrupting community peace even within sacred spaces. Vance condemned protesters who interrupted a church service chanting “ICE out” and “Justice for Renee Good,” emphasizing that such actions terrorize families seeking refuge in worship.

“They’re scaring little kids who are there to worship God on a Sunday morning,” he noted sharply. “Those people are going to be sent to prison so long as we have the power to do so.” This stance reinforces the principle that while free speech and protest are protected rights, they never extend to lawlessness or disrupt others’ liberties—especially when it comes to religious freedom and public safety.

The Real Cost of Ignoring Borders and Law Enforcement

Vance’s comments underscore how resisting immigration enforcement is not just local disorder but a national security failure with real consequences for all Americans. The Biden administration’s weak border policies have encouraged lawlessness that spills into communities like Minneapolis, creating chaos where citizens expect protection.

Moreover, Vance highlighted the broader economic challenges facing America under current leadership, urging patience while pointing out that President Trump inherited an economy weakened by Democrat policies. Yet no sound economic recovery can last without secure borders and respect for law enforcement—the foundations of national prosperity and individual liberty.

The choice is clear: will America stand firm on defending its borders, safety, and values? Or will far-left defiance continue to erode our sovereignty under the guise of activism?

Americans deserve leaders willing to enforce laws fairly but firmly—and stop enabling those who threaten our communities with reckless resistance.
