Not Helping: Amid Anti-ICE Chaos, Obama Encourages More Protests

IFA / Breitbart : Jan 27, 2026  Intercessors For America

As chaos continues across the country, let's pray that leftist states like Minnesota and leaders like Governor Walz and Obama would support our law enforcement officers, not antagonize them.

Over the weekend, another fatal shooting sparked chaos in Minnesota. And, as tensions between law enforcement and Minnesotans rose, former President Barack Obama was quick to fan the flames, blaming President Trump for the violence and calling for more protests.

From Breitbart:

Obama wrapped his call for nationwide action against the federal government in a tone of regret, and he portrayed the street protests as defensive measures against a tyrannical government:

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

Federal law enforcement and immigration agents have a tough job, but Americans expect them to carry out their duties in a lawful, accountable way, and to work with, rather than against, state and local officials to ensure public safety. That's not what we're seeing in Minnesota. In fact, we're seeing the opposite.

Alex Pretti was an armed protestor who was shot and killed by Border Patrol agents in a confrontation in Minneapolis on Sunday. Officials in the Trump administration said that Pretti wanted to "perpetuate violence" and "violently resisted" law enforcement, stressing that agents only fired out of fear for their lives. His death comes nearly three weeks after ICE officers shot and killed another protestor, Renee Good, as she was attempting to hit federal law enforcement with her car.

Obama did not mention any of this context in his statement, instead voicing his disagreement with the Trump administration's statements on both deaths. The former also called for the current administration to work with Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, despite the fact that both of them have antagonized and refused to work with President Trump for months now.

Most notably, Obama also called for Americans across the nation to "draw inspiration from the wave of peaceful protests in Minneapolis and other parts of the country." While this call may have been made in good faith, it ignores that the protests in Minnesota are not at all peaceful. Last week, for example, protestors stormed a church in St. Paul, harassing and threatening congregants. Law enforcement has also faced attacks. One ICE officer had his finger bitten off by a protestor (WARNING: link contains graphic content), and CBP Commissioner Rodney Scott shared on X that protestors attempted to force their way into a Minneapolis hotel Border Patrol agents were staying in.

Meanwhile, the Trump administration may soon change its approach in Minnesota. The President himself recently signaled this change was coming, announcing on Truth Social that Border Czar Tom Homan was on his way to the state. Additionally, President Trump said on Monday that he had a "very good call" with Governor Walz, who reportedly requested to work together with the federal government in Minnesota. It's unclear exactly what was discussed, but it seems we may finally see the temperature come back down in Minnesota.
