Donald Trump, 79, Calls for Jailing Dems in Late-Night Post

Former President Donald Trump has called for the jailing of Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and Representative Ilhan Omar. This statement came after he reacted to a protest against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in Minnesota.

Trump’s Controversial Remarks

On Sunday, Trump shared his thoughts on Truth Social around 1:30 a.m. ET. He was responding to footage of a protest at Cities Church in Minneapolis. The protest had been organized over claims that a pastor at the church works for ICE. During the protest, which was streamed live by former CNN anchor Don Lemon, the atmosphere escalated, leading Trump to label participants as “agitators and insurrectionists.”

Background of the Protest

The protest took place on the heels of the tragic shooting of 37-year-old Renee Good by ICE officer Jonathan Ross. Activists claimed that the pastor’s association with ICE was unacceptable, sparking widespread outrage. Trump criticized the actions of the protesters, suggesting that they were “professionals” trained to disrupt events.

Accusations Against Walz and Omar

In his post, Trump specifically targeted Governor Walz and Representative Omar. He described them as corrupt and called for immediate investigations into their actions. Trump accused Omar of being worth over $30 million despite only holding government positions, a claim derived from financial disclosures related to her husband’s assets.

• Governor Tim Walz has announced he will not seek a third term amid criticism over social service fraud in Minnesota.
• Omar has been the subject of ongoing racist attacks, particularly from Trump allies.
• Multiple MAGA figures have also criticized the protest’s legitimacy, urging for legal action against Lemon for streaming it.

Legal Threats and Responses

Legal threats have emerged against Lemon from various MAGA supporters, including attorney Harmeet Dhillon. She claimed that documenting the protest could violate federal laws regarding protected activities at houses of worship. Dhillon emphasized that the First Amendment does not permit disruptions of prayer services.

The unfolding events highlight the tension surrounding protests and the government’s immigration policies, as well as the ongoing political battles within Minnesota. As the situation develops, the offices of both Walz and Omar have been contacted for comments, though no responses have yet been made public.
