Trump Reacts to ICE Shooting: 'Agitator' Criticized, DOJ Subpoenas Tim Walz

Donald Trump has launched a furious attack on 'agitators, insurrectionists and troublemakers' in Minnesota as the DOJ subpoenaed officials in the state. Trump addressed riots in Minneapolis which have spiraled after an ICE agent shot dead a woman during protests against the immigration crackdown on January 7. 'How can you have a place with 10,000 criminals, how can you have a state?' Trump told reporters at the White House on Tuesday, as he claimed that there was a 'professional agitator' screaming 'shame' at the scene of Renee Good's shooting 'like an opera singer.' The president's press conference came as it emerged that the Justice Department subpoenaed the offices of Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey and state Attorney General Keith Ellis, over allegations of obstructing ICE. Trump last week threatened to invoke the Insurrection Act to crackdown on riots in the state that were sparked by Good's shooting. The president told reporters 'it's a tragedy, a horrible thing,' referring to how Good's family were Trump supporters. 'I learned her parents, her father in particular - I hope he still is - was a tremendous Trump fan ... It's a hard situation ... It's so sad, it's just terrible,' Trump said. The president held up a batch of posters showing criminals who he claimed had entered the country under Joe Biden. 'Twenty-four convictions. Twenty-four times convicted. They are not charges. They are convictions,' Trump said holding up the poster for one of the criminals. 'Do you think he's going to be good here?' The president also attacked ex-CNN anchor Don Lemon amid a brewing scandal over the journalist entering a church during an anti-ICE protest targeting worshippers. 'Don Lemon is a loser, lightweight. I saw him walk into that church, it was terrible. I have such respect for that pastor. So calm and nice. He was accosted. What they did in that church was horrible,' Trump said. The president also turned his ire on Rep. Ilhan Omar, a Somalian-born lawmaker who has been a frequent target of the administration which has accused the Somalian community of widespread welfare fraud. 'She comes from Somalia, the worst country. They don't have anything. They just have people running around killing each other and trying to pirate ships,' Trump said. 'But she'll come here, and then she wants to tell us how to run our country.' The FBI on Tuesday served grand jury subpoenas to five Minnesota government offices as part of a federal investigation into alleged conspiracy to coerce or obstruct federal law enforcement during ongoing ICE operations. Subpoenas were also issued to the offices of St Paul Mayor Kaohly Her and Hennepin County attorney Mary Moriarty. Attorney General Pam Bondi arrived in Minnesota on an unannounced visit on Tuesday. The Justice Department declined to comment. US Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche warned last week that Walz and Frey were on the brink of committing a crime with their anti-ICE speeches. 'When the governor or the mayor threaten our officers, when the mayor suggests that he's encouraging citizens to call 911 when they see ICE officers, that is very close to a federal crime,' Blanche said.
