With U.S. president Donald Trump clearly in a position to unilaterally declare the Insurrection Act over the ongoing obstruction of federal law enforcement by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency (ICE), it remains to be seen how far the situation may escalate.
Protests and unrest in Minneapolis have been ongoing since early January 2026, primarily against ICE agents detaining and arresting illegal immigrants. What many observers are asking themselves is: just what are the ‘protesters’ protesting against?
As the War Room’s Harrison Smith noted, “They’re not protesting against rapists and murderers. They’re literally protesting against the arrest of criminals, against law and order itself.”
And Megyn Kelly, after hearing Minnesota Governor Tim Walz accuse ICE agents of “going door to door asking people where colored people live” and of “kidnapping innocent people with no due process,” and of representing “organized brutality against Minnesota by our own government,” understandably found herself asking: “How insane is that?!?”
It’s ‘insane’ to the point of being stupefying, and stupidity is the operative force at play behind the so-called ‘protests.’
“Stupidity isn’t a lack of intelligence; it’s a lack of freedom,” explains blogger Marina Karlova. “Stupidity is an outcome bred by upbringing, normalization, and relentless repetition that trains you not to notice…”
Similarly, Steven Crowder explains that “words inspire people to do incredible violence and to completely illogical acts. That’s why they killed Charlie Kirk. People believed the BS. And a lot of people in Minneapolis believe their mayor who has been inciting violence: ‘My message to ICE: get the f**k out of Minneapolis.'”
So far, the ‘protesters’ who have been injured or killed by ICE agents have been the victims of their own stupidity, although the ‘protesters’ have been convinced that the ICE agents are solely responsible.
Given their consistent violence and inability to be persuaded otherwise, this may certainly be a justifiable time to invoke the Insurrection Act under the axiom “when persuasion fails, just use force.”
