AFPI Applauds Arrest of Minnesota Rioters

Washington, DC — The America First Policy Institute (AFPI) released the following statement:

"Federal law enforcement officers in Minnesota are bravely enforcing immigration law and keeping Americans safe. In return, they have faced riots, obstruction and interference, brutal attacks, doxing, and violent resistance at every turn. These rioters have been emboldened by reckless statements by state and local officials in Minnesota.

We commend Attorney General Pam Bondi for stepping up where Minnesota leaders have repeatedly failed to maintain order and protect the rule of law. The arrest of 16 rioters who allegedly assaulted federal law enforcement officers and impeded officers carrying out their duties underscore the need for firm accountability and real justice. The message is clear: No one is above the law, and those who obstruct it will be held accountable."
