VP JD Vance to Address Law and Order Restoration in Minnesota Thursday
Vice President JD Vance aims to enhance law and order in Minnesota. During a recent press conference in Minneapolis, he emphasized the need for collaboration between federal and local authorities in immigration enforcement.
Call for Local Cooperation in Immigration Enforcement

- Key Message: Local police should back federal efforts during immigration operations
Concerns Over Local Policies
The Vice President expressed concern that local authorities in some cities were not providing necessary support to federal agents. He claimed that these officials had been instructed to refrain from assisting with immigration enforcement. “This creates a situation where chaos can thrive,” he warned.
Vance referenced successful immigration enforcement in other cities like Austin, Texas, and Memphis, Tennessee. “In those areas, local cooperation has facilitated smoother operations. Here, the lack of assistance has been problematic,” he explained.
Future Collaboration on Law and Order
Looking ahead, Vance is optimistic about improving cooperation among local and federal agencies. He believes this unity is crucial for law enforcement success without jeopardizing the safety of ICE officers. The Vice President reiterated President Trump’s directive to work closely with local officials for better immigration strategies.
To sum up, enhancing law and order in Minnesota requires a concerted effort between federal and local authorities. By fostering collaboration, authorities can work towards reducing chaos and ensuring effective immigration enforcement across the state.
