Trump privately frustrated that he risks losing control of immigration message amid Minnesota chaos

https://www.cnn.com/2026/01/23/politics/minnesota-immigration-protests-trump-worries

President Donald Trump has expressed frustration behind closed doors that the immigration messaging is getting lost, sources familiar with the discussions told CNN. Trump has sought to take control of the narrative, starting with an impromptu press conference on the anniversary of his first year in office.

The president, at times sounding exasperated, thumbed through mugshots of individuals arrested in his immigration crackdown, highlighting their alleged crimes. His message was clear that while there might be some issues, ICE is necessary to follow through on his agenda — to deport the most dangerous criminals back to their home country.






Trump’s advisers have privately discussed the perils of the protests in Minneapolis in recent days, following the fatal shooting of Renee Good by an ICE agent earlier this month, with many acknowledging that the fallout in the city must be contained, the sources said.

As a result, top White House officials have been plotting how to move the narrative away from the unrest in Minneapolis and instead focus on what they view as ICE’s achievements.

Tell Noem & Bovino to withdraw from Minnesota & tell Stevie Miller no.
No more "Minnesota distraction".
But, he wouldn't do something so obvious, because he thinks he's always right. So, he has to double & triple down.
