What the Democrats and others on the Left have done with the demonizing of ICE and other federal immigration agents is disgraceful. It's resulted in all kinds of assaults and attacks. It's even led to the deaths of two illegal aliens in an attack on a government facility. And now it's led to the death of Renee Good as well.
It's more than time that the Left rejects these harmful and dangerous actions.

But they were still going at it in Minnesota on Friday, trying to interfere or insert themselves into law enforcement actions. In this case, it was the Border Patrol. Fox's Matt Finn got some great coverage of what went down. You can see how much they have to deal with in dealing with these activists.
He showed how, when they were picking someone up, a woman inserted herself, complaining about medical care for the person taken into custody. And people were loudly blowing whistles to let others know immigration agents were on the scene.

Another woman called out, "ICE is here." And still, the Border Patrol agent's first instinct was to warn her that it was icy and not to slip.
The agent Finn was driving with explained that they were being followed by two cars. He explained how they were giving them a warning, but that if they continued, they could be arrested.

That has to be concerning when other agents have been rammed or otherwise attacked.
Finn got another encounter here:

This was quite something with this entitled person thinking that she is in the right. An agent gives her fair warning not to continue. He's giving her good advice. She smirks, "I think I'm making exactly the right decision." She wishes him a terrible day after he wishes her a good day.

A man filming off to the side claims that stopping the car is unconstitutional.
Um, guys? If you interfere in a law enforcement operation, they can stop you and arrest you. Why is this hard to understand?
But this was perhaps the wildest moment after Finn said that a woman hit one of the Border Patrol SUVs and another person spat at them. This woman and a man were then taken into custody.

The woman kept struggling, even telling them to "Stop touching me!" The man tried to interfere, and then he got taken down. If they're arresting you, they're likely to touch you, and she found out it wasn't a good idea to struggle with them.
What is needed is for the Democrats to tell people to stop. But all they are doing right now is ratcheting up the rhetoric.
They're going to continue to find out that this is an unwise idea.
