The question the FBI must answer in Minnesota ICE shooting

For the third time in a week, Minnesota is making national headlines, and for all the wrong reasons. In a massive show of federal force against a resistant sanctuary metropolis, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) deployed 2,000 federal agents to Minneapolis-St. Paul in the largest immigration enforcement operation in the nation’s history.

In responding to the tragedy, President Trump proceeded on his favorite premise: the best defense is a good offense. On social media, he declared that the need for the imposition of law and order by ICE was paramount: “The woman screaming was, obviously, a professional agitator, and the woman driving the car was very disorderly, obstructing and resisting, who then violently, willfully, and viciously ran over the ICE Officer, who
