Vance lands in Minneapolis blaming the 'far left' for turmoil over deportation efforts

MINNEAPOLIS — Vice President JD Vance on Thursday blamed the “far left" for turmoil surrounding the White House's deportation campaign before arriving for a high-profile appearance in Minnesota, which has emerged as a national focal point in the clash over the Trump administration's crackdown on violent illegal immigrants.

“If you want to turn down the chaos in Minneapolis, stop fighting immigration enforcement and accept that we have to have a border in this country,” Vance said in Toledo, Ohio, en route to Minnesota. “It’s not that hard.”

He also praised the arrest of protetsters who disrupted a church service in Minnesota on Sunday and said he expects more prosecutions to come.

“They’re scaring little kids who are there to worship God on a Sunday morning,” Vance said. “Those people are going to be sent to prison so long as we have the power to do so."

He added: “Just as you have the right to protest, they have a right to worship God as they choose. And when you interrupt that, that is a violation of the law.”
