MINNESOTA ARRESTS — I am on the ground in Minneapolis today. Federal agents have arrested 16 Minnesota rioters for allegedly assaulting federal law enforcement — people who have been resisting and impeding our federal law enforcement agents.

We expect more arrests to come.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: NOTHING will stop President Trump and this Department of Justice from enforcing the law. These are the names of those arrested today under 18 U.S. Code § 111 (Assaulting, resisting, or impeding certain officers or employees)

MINNESOTA FRAUD:

@NickShirleyyy’s work has helped show Americans the scale of fraud in Tim Walz’s Minnesota.

@TheJusticeDept has been investigating this for months. So far, we have charged 98 individuals – 85 of Somali descent – and more than 60 have been found guilty in court.

We have more prosecutions coming…BUCKLE UP, LAWMAKERS! I am incredibly grateful to our U.S. Attorney Daniel Rosen and @DMNnews for their dedicated and ongoing work to uncover this fraud and build strong cases against its perpetrators.

Here are a few examples of the cases we have prosecuted with other federal partners like @SecScottBessent ⬇️

.@TheJusticeDept just filed a request for an immediate stay of Judge McConnell’s utterly lawless Temporary Restraining Order issued yesterday after business hours—yet remarkably forcing @USDA to “raid school-lunch money to instead fund SNAP benefits.” That TRO purports to force the government to divert some $5 billion from the school lunch program to SNAP by the end of today. Why could we file this brief only this morning, with that clock ticking? The First Circuit clerk’s office made it impossible to file sooner. Despite being notified by the government of the high likelihood of fast-moving litigation, the First Circuit clerk’s office refused to answer its phones until this morning, and refused to offer any means of filing this emergency request until it processed certain paperwork during regular business hours.
