Vance heads to Minneapolis and says ‘far left’ should stop resisting immigration enforcement
January 22, 2026
Vice President JD Vance is blaming what he calls the “far left” for turmoil surrounding the White House’s deportation campaign. Vance is set to visit Minnesota later Thursday. But first he stopped in Ohio, his home state, where he criticized opposition to the administration’s immigration enforcement. The vice president will meet in Minneapolis with Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents. Protests have erupted in the city after an agent fatally shot Renee Good this month. Vance has defended that agent and said Good’s death was a “tragedy of her own making.” Vance also is praising the arrest of protesters who disrupted a weekend church service in Minnesota.
