Trump warns Minnesota Dems: ‘THE DAY OF RECKONING & RETRIBUTION IS COMING’
Trump’s threat to the state comes amid heightened tension after an ICE agent shot and killed a woman in Minneapolis last week.

President Donald Trump threatened Minnesota with a “DAY OF RECKONING & RETRIBUTION” on Tuesday, accusing the state’s Democrats of weaponizing the ICE shooting of Minneapolis protester Renee Good last week to distract from widespread fraud he argues they’ve long abetted in the state.
“Do the people of Minnesota really want to live in a community in which there are thousands of already convicted murderers, drug dealers and addicts, rapists, violent released and escaped prisoners, dangerous people from foreign mental institutions and insane asylums, and other deadly criminals too dangerous to even mention,” he wrote on his social media platform, Truth Social.
“FEAR NOT, GREAT PEOPLE OF MINNESOTA, THE DAY OF RECKONING & RETRIBUTION IS COMING!” he added, blaming state Democrats for the unrest.
Minneapolis has been rocked by protests in the days since the shooting death of Good, with Democrats including Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey urging federal law enforcement to leave the city.
The White House maintains that the ICE official who shot Good did so in self-defense. But even allies of the administration worry it has gone too far by alleging so soon that Good had committed an act of “domestic terrorism” by trying to ram the ICE agent with her car.
Trump and Vice President JD Vance have also responded by seeking to channel attention onto a sprawling investigation into alleged fraud that has plagued the state’s nutrition and social services programs. They’ve pointed to a yearslong investigation that has resulted in more than 90 people in Minnesota charged with defrauding the government.
The Department of Health and Human Services froze hundreds of millions in child care funding for the state in December.
At a White House press briefing the day after Good’s shooting last week, Vance announced the creation of a new assistant attorney general post to investigate fraud across the country. Its first stop: Minnesota.
“Minnesota Democrats love the unrest that anarchists and professional agitators are causing because it gets the spotlight off of the 19 Billion Dollars that was stolen by really bad and deranged people,” Trump wrote Tuesday.
Wherever ICE has gone, Trump wrote, “crime comes down.”
