Former Minnesota Vikings captain and University of Minnesota football player Jack Brewer spoke out against the anti-ICE agitators in his state.
Riots erupted in and around Minneapolis on Saturday after a Border Patrol agent fatally shot one of the agitators. Brewer called out the state’s liberal leadership for stoking the unrest and argued that Democrats oppose ICE because the agency is “deporting their constituents.”

“We’re turning out their voters. That’s part of what’s happening, and it blows up their whole plan,” Brewer told Pakinomist Digital.
“You can’t allow people to come into your country who don’t have the same morals and values that you do. That’s what’s happening. Minneapolis protects these thugs. It’s unbelievable. These people are demonic. I’ve worked in third world countries for 25 years. The values are not the same… You can’t let people into their cultures with what they bring into America’s cultures with because they can let people come from them with the culture. what’s going on.”
Brewer also took aim at the city’s liberal population, calling for behavioral assessments and National Guard intervention.
“Something is wrong in Minneapolis. We need a citywide behavioral health assessment. People have completely lost touch with reality,” Brewer said. “I hope President Trump sends in the National Guard. We need curfews. We need real consequences for attacking law enforcement. These men and women should be able to do their jobs and go home safely to their families.”
In 2018, Brewer was presented with the key to the city of Minneapolis by Mayor Jacob Frey. But today, Brewer condemns Frey for taking far-left positions.

“I wish I could lock the doors of that city and not let him back in if I had the power. What he’s done is absolutely ridiculous,” Brewer said. “He tap-dances for Somalis. He does everything to go against America’s culture and Christianity for them.”
Alex Jeffrey Pretti, a 37-year-old Minneapolis resident and ICU nurse, was shot during an immigration enforcement operation early Saturday targeting Jose Huerta-Chuma, an illegal immigrant with a criminal history including domestic violence for willful conflict bodily harm, disorderly conduct and driving without a valid license.
Department of Homeland Security officials said Pretti approached Border Patrol agents while armed with a 9 mm handgun and “violently resisted” when they tried to disarm him. Medics immediately provided aid, but Pretti was pronounced dead at the scene of the shooting.
After the shooting, approximately 200 agitators arrived and began “obstructing and assaulting law enforcement,” prompting enforcement actions, according to DHS.
The Minneapolis Police Department asked the public to remain calm after Saturday’s shooting.
“We are aware of reports of another shooting involving federal law enforcement in the area of 26th Street W and Nicollet Ave. We are working to confirm additional details. We ask the public to remain calm and avoid the immediate area. Please follow the city’s social media channels for updates,” the Minneapolis Police Department said in a statement to Pakinomist Digital.
Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara said at a news conference that an “unlawful assembly” was taking place in the area of the shooting and urged the public to avoid it.
“Our demand today is that the federal agencies operating in our city do so with the same discipline, humanity and integrity that effective law enforcement in this country requires. We urge everyone to remain peaceful,” O’Hara said.
O’Hara said there had been an emergency recall of all sworn personnel back to duty to deal with the situation.
While MPD is leading the charge, it is receiving help from the Minnesota State Patrol and the Hennepin and Ramsey County sheriffs, O’Hara said.
Suburban cities have helped MPD handle the influx of 911 calls. He added that the fire department was working with police to “ensure that two small fires that were started in the area are safely extinguished.”
