Aiming to address the fraud being perpetrated in large by the state\u2019s Somali community, President Trump sent ICE officers into the state. One activist, Renee Good, was killed during a confrontation in which she attempted to drive into an ICE officer. Ever since then, frequent anti-ICE protests have been held around the country, with many taking place in Minnesota.\n<\/p>\n<p>The DOJ is already working to charge people over this. In an interview with conservative influencer Benny Johnson, Harmeet Dhillon, Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights at the DOJ, called it a \u201cvery serious matter,\u201d stressing that \u201cnobody should think in the United States that they\u2019re going to be able to get away with this.\u201d She even announced that the DOJ is bringing charges against Don Lemon, former CNN host, under the FACE Act and the KKK Act.
