Leavitt Says Federal Officers Face Harassment and Threats as Minneapolis Unrest Continues
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters that federal law enforcement officers, including ICE and Border Patrol agents, have been subjected to harassment, threats, and hostile encounters during ongoing protests in Minneapolis. Leavitt said officers are facing dangerous resistance from left-wing agitators and criticized media and local leaders for fueling tensions, while the administration pushes back against coverage of recent clashes.
