Chaos erupted in Minneapolis on Tuesday as federal agents executed court-authorized raids on two Taqueria y Birrieria las Cuatro Milpas locations, uncovering a massive drug smuggling, labor trafficking, and money laundering operation. Yet, instead of applauding law enforcement for dismantling a dangerous criminal enterprise, far-left agitators descended on the scene, hurling abuse at officers and even physically assaulting them. The violent response from these radicals highlights the left’s growing hostility toward law and order—a trend that has only worsened under weak liberal leadership.
While federal agents carried out their duties, leftist protestors attempted to block the lawful operation, screaming at officers and disrupting the scene. One individual even assaulted a federal agent, proving yet again that the far-left has no respect for the rule of law. Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, a Democrat notorious for his soft-on-crime policies, issued a milquetoast statement attempting to downplay the severity of the situation. Frey claimed the operation was “not related to immigration enforcement,” but his words ring hollow as ICE itself confirmed this was a “groundbreaking criminal operation” targeting “drug smuggling to criminal labor trafficking.”
The FBI and ICE, under the strong leadership of President Donald Trump’s administration, demonstrated the kind of decisive action needed to combat organized crime. ICE Homeland Security Investigations St. Paul Special Agent in Charge Jamie Holt declared, “This operation showcases the breadth of our collective missions and the strength of a united front.” This is the kind of tough, no-nonsense approach Americans expect from their government—not the spineless pandering of liberal mayors like Frey, who prioritize criminals over citizens.
Meanwhile, the liberal media, ever eager to twist the narrative, focused on the protestors’ tantrums rather than the serious crimes being uncovered. Outlets like KARE 11 buried the lede, framing the story around “community concerns” instead of celebrating a major law enforcement victory. This is the same media that spent years attacking President Trump for his strong stance on border security and immigration enforcement—yet here we see ICE doing exactly what needs to be done: cracking down on criminal enterprises that exploit vulnerable people and flood our streets with drugs.

President Trump’s America First policies have empowered federal agencies to take bold action against transnational crime, something the Biden administration failed to do. While the left cries about “rights” for criminals, Trump’s leadership ensures that law enforcement has the tools and support to keep Americans safe. The contrast couldn’t be clearer: under Trump, criminals face consequences; under the left, they get coddled while police are demonized.
