Vance Says Insurrection Act Unnecessary Amid Minnesota Enforcement Clash

Vice President JD Vance said in Minneapolis on Thursday that invoking the Insurrection Act is unnecessary 'right now,' while repeating a disputed claim that Renee Nicole Good "rammed" an agent, he said.

The Justice Department is investigating Gov. Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey for possible obstruction of immigration enforcement as the administration has deployed about 3,000 federal officers to the Twin Cities, officials said.

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey told reporters at City Hall that agents are "detaining people that have done nothing wrong" and accused federal operations of racial profiling, he said.

MoveOn spokesperson Britt Jacovich said nearly 600 local businesses planned to shut and hundreds of solidarity events were expected nationwide for a planned day of protests Friday.

An internal ICE memo shows officers can use administrative warrants to enter homes without a judicial warrant, reversing prior guidance, and Vance declined to specify which kind of warrant he meant, he said.
