In Republican town near Minneapolis, Trump voters back immigration crackdown

Buffalo residents largely support the Metro Surge immigration crackdown and some back invoking the Insurrection Act despite protests and two citizen deaths, citing law enforcement needs.

  • In Buffalo, residents broadly support the enforcement centered in Minneapolis about 40 miles away, according to local supporters like Bob Rassat, a 72-year-old retiree.
  • Supporters say the killings of US citizens Renee Good and Alex Pretti by federal agents last month sparked protests, blaming Biden and Minnesota state government inaction.
  • An 80-year-old US Army veteran supports the raids and urges invoking the Insurrection Act, as residents back the efforts outside their homes, with signs and voices of support.
  • The Trump administration says it will continue detentions of US citizens, refugees, and others, prompting calls for military measures amid protests.
  • The events have deepened partisan divides as locals offered mixed views, with some calling the protests 'stupid' and others rejecting killing people or vigilante tactics.
