WASHINGTON —Vice President JD Vance will visit Minneapolis, Minnesota on Thursday, a person familiar with his plans said Jan. 20.

Vance will hold a roundtable with community members and deliver remarks in the city where the Trump administration is fighting to continue its immigration operations.

Vance has defended the killing of Renee Good by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer, calling it “a tragedy of her own making" and alleging she was part of vast left-wing extremist network. The shooting prompted protests and has provoked bitter dispute between state and local officials.

The Trump administration's expanded immigration enforcement raids and officers' aggressive tactics have stirred protests and increasing calls from local officials for ICE to leave the city. Vance also visited Minnesota in September with his wife to pay his respects to the victims of the mass shooting at Annunciation Catholic Church.

2. They'll just pack it with MAGAts

12. Most MAGOTS don't like him, his brown wife and other brown child born here

3. Blame the victims directly to their faces? Brilliant!

[2naSalit]

4. A little gas on the fire...

Because they can't seem to goad the good people of Minnesota into giving them an excuse to bring in the troops.

[Auggie]

6. +1

[Herself]

5. The Map of ICE activity has greatly reduced

Activity this morning.
Yesterday there were more than a dozen reports in NY. Today there is only two.
Across the country the activity has been greatly reduced.

Is it too cold for them?
Have they been Iced Out?

Has the gop pressured a draw down with ICE due to their election fears?

7. Too cold...

[Paladin]

8. Here's hoping that Vance continues to destroy his political career. (nt)

[ananda]

9. You can tell how well he'll be received.

I wish they'd close all the hotels to him.

[bluestarone]

10. Believe me, he's NOT going there to HELP Minnesotans

He's goung there to help ICE!

[littlemissmartypants]

11. Oh no! What if he goes ice fishing and falls in?

[durablend]

14. Or if he runs into a couch and falls in?

[liberalgunwilltravel]

13. Community members my ass!

They'll be a bunch of hand-picked Nazi sympathizers.

[travelingthrulife]

15. No doubt that goose-stepping fake christian preacher and ICE member will be his special guest

[AStern]

16. He's just going to throw gasoline onto the fire

The worthless troll.

[BaronChocula]

17. He's gonna do his chubby chihuahua routine

He'll go in and "yip yip yip" at a bunch of strangers he feels threatened by before running back to his AF 2 kennel.

[Bayard]

18. The protest outside will be enormous

Especially if he starts calling Renee Good a terrorist. Lighting a match for military takeover, and killing more citizens.

[PatrickforB]

19. LOL, yeah that is sure to calm things down. A nice town hall where

Vance spouts the billionaire line - Immigrants bad, profits good, survival of the fittest and all the rest of the bunkum.

The truth: All those protesters have finally had ENOUGH of this billionaire shit. We don't need a dictator, we need progressives who actually govern FOR US, the people instead of for these Wall Street people. Once we remember our compassion and the basic humanity of everyone, we can begin to rebuild.

20. Jack Smith's testimony is tomorrow.

VD Jance is being sent to MN to take the spotlight off of that.
