Former President Bill Clinton threw gasoline on the fire on Sunday after violence erupted in Minneapolis this weekend following a fatal ICE-involved shooting.
ICE agents are conducting raids in Minnesota because Democrat Governor Tim Walz and other Democrat leaders are not cooperating with federal immigration enforcement officers.
Governor Walz and far-left Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey have encouraged anti-ICE agitators to fight back in get in the face of federal agents.
DHS law enforcement officers were conducting a targeted operation in Minneapolis against an illegal alien wanted for violent assault when an armed man approached Border Patrol officers, the DHS said.
The armed man, identified as 37-year-old Alex Jeffrey Pretti from South Minneapolis, appeared to attack federal law enforcement agents before he was fatally shot.
Pretti was reportedly armed with a handgun and had two additional full magazines.

Earlier this month, Renee Good was fatally shot after she tried to run over an ICE agent.
Bill Clinton fanned the flames after this weekend’s fatal officer-involved shooting.
“Over the course of a lifetime, we face only a few moments where the decisions we make and the actions we take will shape our history for years to come,” Clinton said in a statement on Sunday.
“This is one of them,” Clinton added.
“People, including children, have been seized from their homes, workplaces, and the street by masked federal agents. Peaceful protestors and citizen exercising their constitutional right to observe and document law enforcement have been arrested, beaten, teargassed, and most searingly, in the cases of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, shot and killed,” Clinton said,
Clinton also accused members of the Trump Administration of lying.

Never forget that Elian Gonzalez, the little boy who survived a Cuban shipwreck, was seized at gunpoint on Bill Clinton’s orders.
Federal agents stormed into a Miami home and took the 6-year-old child out of the home and returned him to his father in Cuba.
Can you believe Trump did this to a 5-year-old?
Oh wait, that was Elian Gonzalez, and it was Bill Clinton who did it. pic.twitter.com/cvk4f3yL3Z
