Funny how the Left forgot to mention a crucial detail about the guy who ICE neutralized

Governor Tim Walz, Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey wasted no time rushing out statements after federal immigration authorities fatally shot an armed suspect in Minneapolis on Saturday morning but conveniently omitted the fact that the suspect was armed and posing imminent danger.

Tampon Tim Walz demanded, "The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota." 

See how he used the dead guy as a sacrificial lamb for 'the cause'?

Repulsive Rep. Omar went even further, declaring, "This appears to be an execution by immigration enforcement." She added that she is "absolutely heartbroken, horrified, and appalled" that federal agents "murdered another member of our community." She had to be pulling our collective leg because the victim was a white man, and we all know how she and many on the Left really feel about white guys.

But according to Omar, the shooting wasn't "isolated or accidental," rather it was part of the Trump administration’s effort to "trying to beat us into submission." How's that for throwing gas onto the already burning fire of hatred burning in her state?

She went on to claim President Trump has transformed Minnesota from a "place of refuge" into a "war zone where unchecked federal forces murder our neighbors."

Mayor Jacob Frey piled on, asking, "How many times must local and national leaders plead with you Donald Trump to end this operation and recognize that this is not creating safety in our city." Well golly gee, it almost sounds as if Mayor Jake has aspirations for doing something special for himself in 2028.

The Department of Homeland Security offered a far different account, telling conservative outlets such as The Daily Wire that officers were conducting a "targeted operation" against an illegal immigrant "wanted for violent assault." During the encounter, the suspect approached Border Patrol agents with a "semi-automatic handgun" and was pronounced dead at the scene after violently resisting attempts to disarm him. [For any liberals who may be accidentally reading this, a semi-automatic handgun, like semi-automatic rifles, is a weapon that fires a round once, each time the trigger is pulled.]

DHS stated: "At 9:05 AM CT, as DHS law enforcement officers were conducting a targeted operation in Minneapolis against an illegal alien wanted for violent assault, an individual approached US Border Patrol officers with a 9 mm semi-automatic handgun. The officers attempted to disarm the suspect but the armed suspect violently resisted."

The contrast between the DHS facts and the inflammatory rhetoric from Walz, Omar, and Frey couldn't be starker, yet highly predictable.

The pile-on didn't stop there. 

Comrade Rep. Alexandria [aka Sandy] Ocasio-Cortez (Democratic Socialist-NY) having finally recovered from nearly being killed during the January 6 protest of 2021, nasally chimed in with her typical apocalyptic drama: "Americans are being killed in the street by their government. Our Constitution is being shredded and our rights are dissolving. Resist." She added, "We have a responsibility to protect Americans from tyranny."

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) called for ICE to be "out of Minnesota now." 

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani joined the chorus: "As tens of thousands across America protest the violence that ICE sows with impunity, federal agents shot and killed another person in Minneapolis today," adding, "ICE terrorizes our cities. ICE puts us all in danger. Abolish ICE." He was going to add: 'And free, free, free Palestine,' but bit his tongue. 

[Fun Fact: Mamdani is currently receiving feline anti-allergy injections as he plans to get a cat in the near future. Dogs, of course, are out of the question--the prophet hated dogs.]

The Department of Homeland Security has promised more details on the armed confrontation are coming. But don’t hold your breath waiting for the outrage brigade to acknowledge the suspect was armed and resisting. If we're lucky, we might find a short sentence mentioning he was a registered gun owner, but that would likely be buried deep in the article where liberals tend to fade out.
