Trump Blames Democrats for Deaths in Minneapolis Shooting by ICE Agents

Donald Trump has blamed Democratic leaders at the state and city levels for the deaths of two American citizens in Minneapolis, shot by ICE agents. He accused Democratic policies of causing the “chaos” and demanded the immediate handover of “illegal criminal immigrants” to federal authorities for immediate deportation. He also called for pressure on Congress to abolish so-called “sanctuary cities,” which limit cooperation with federal immigration authorities. This move has drawn criticism even from Republicans, who are calling for an investigation into ICE practices. Congress and the Department of Homeland Security have launched investigations, while the incident occurred during a severe snowstorm.
