The PEOPLE Are Angry

The PEOPLE Are Angry

I don’t like where this is headed.

There’s a clear disconnect now between ICE and the people.

Did you see that moment of silence during the Timberwolves game?

The people are very angry.

They don’t view ICE as law enforcement anymore.

They view ICE as an invading enemy.

Free people don’t like being invaded.

I don’t like where this is going at all.

Still time for a deal. Losers blaming each other doesn’t help. Need to listen to the winners.

This is easy guys. Not even tough to get a deal done here. Already gave you the roadmap.

Otherwise this is where we end up… and more people are going to die. For no reason.

Dave– These are serious times. Stop writing letters and start getting something done. Call me if you need help. I have some ideas.

Give ICE Some Space Guys

Give ICE Some Space Guys

Look, Americans are big believers in freedom.

We love freedom.

And when we see some things out there that look like people are getting their freedom taken away we want to stand up and do something about it.

I love that.

But we also need to be smart guys.

When federal law enforcement is actively following and enforcing the law we have to give them space to operate.

Getting in their face and calling them names and trying to stop them from doing their job isn’t right.

And really… it isn’t helping.

I understand the people are angry right now.

They’ve been LET DOWN.

But screaming in an ICE agent’s face is NOT helping anyone. If anything it creates anger and resentment in that human being that will come out in other ways later.

Bad ways.

Anger begets anger.

Love begets love.

Let’s remember we all love each other.

And yes, MISTAKES HAVE BEEN MADE. But these guys have a VERY tough job and the more times people get in the way the more mistakes are going to happen. And NOBODY wants that.

Protest safely. Protest SMART. Otherwise REALLY BAD stuff is coming guys. Trust me.

First rule of litigation– you can’t let one mistake lead to more mistakes.

So let’s be smart. Remember we love each other and give ICE some room to work while we try to make a deal to solve all of this once and for all.

Washington needs level-headed leadership. Support Troutman now!

A lot of you have asked me to say something about this.

But leaders don’t push anger.

We don’t push fear.

We don’t do this:

What we witnessed was the execution of a civilian bystander by masked government agents.Not self-defense. Not law enforcement. Murder.Everyone responsible will face criminal charges. There will be accountability.In the meantime, get the fuck out of MN and start following… pic.twitter.com/Gukvd73MFh— Rep. Dave Min (@CongressMin) January 24, 2026

Very helpful Dave.

Leaders do this.

We look for solutions.

You all have eyes.

You know what happened.

You don’t need me to tell you about it.

Enflame you. Enrage you.

Try to control you by playing to your emotions.

I’m not one of the emotional predators.

And that’s not how this is going to go.

We’re going to change the system. Make it work the way it was supposed to work before the parties corrupted it and turned America into a war zone.

BOTH parties are to blame folks. Don’t get it twisted.

And they’re BOTH happy as can be right now– plenty of talking points for their base. Plenty of anger and hatred and lies and fear to spread. And they’re spreading it as fast as they can.

Well I won’t be part of that.

This is where all of that stuff comes to a stop.

But what I AM going to do is work to FIX this so it doesn’t happen again. And in the meantime try to make sure nobody else gets hurt.

I love you all.
