Vance’s message in Minneapolis: Local officials must cooperate with the immigration crackdown
Vice President JD Vance called for state and local cooperation with ICE amid over 3,300 arrests since November, blaming local officials for escalating unrest.
- On Jan. 22, 2026, Vice President JD Vance visited Minneapolis, holding a closed-door roundtable and publicly defending Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents after reports a 5-year-old boy from Columbia Heights was detained.
- After a fatal Jan. 7 shooting heightened tensions, a surge of federal immigration enforcement agents has been conducting widescale arrests in the Twin Cities, prompting Vance to blame Minnesota state and local officials for what he called "chaos."
- About 3,000 federal immigration officials have been deployed to the Twin Cities, with Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents documented entering homes without judicial warrants, including detaining a man wearing only shorts and a blanket.
- Legal challenges are now pending in the federal court system after authorities made arrests related to unrest, including at least three people at Cities Church in St. Paul, according to officials.
- Vance said he expects better cooperation from state and local officials in the weeks and months to come, urged peaceful protest, saying `Come out and protest, but do it peacefully`, and warned assaults on law enforcement officers will be prosecuted.
