JD Vance defends ICE in Minneapolis, says Insurrection Act isn't needed
JD Vance praised ICE agents and urged cooperation with local officials while stating the White House currently sees no need to invoke the Insurrection Act amid protests.
- On Jan. 22, Vice President JD Vance visited Minneapolis, defending Immigration and Customs Enforcement at the Royalston Square event center amid roughly a dozen protesters, saying, `I wanted to show some support for these guys who frankly are operating in a very, very tough environment.`

- Right-Wing influencers, operating in the Twin Cities, have used content-farming tactics to provoke clashes at protests and pushed Insurrection Act calls online, raising escalation risks.
