Secretary Noem: In my discussions with Governor Walz, and from what I've seen in his press gatherings, he still is not willing to work with our federal officers to bring peace to the streets of Minneapolis.

Reporter:Do you have any plans to pull out of Minnesota?

Secretary Noem [press conference]: No plans to pull out of Minnesota

Reporter: How would you describe what you are seeing on the ground there? Would you describe it as an insurrection, and do you believe the president should invoke the Insurrection Act?

Secretary Noem: I describe it as violent, a violation of the law in many places. I discussed with the president this morning, several things that we are dealing with under the department, different operations. We did discuss the Insurrection Act. He certainly has the constitutional authority to utilize that. My hope is that this leadership team in Minnesota will start to work with us to get criminals off the streets. Remember, we are there in surged operations because of the largest fraud scheme in American history. We had people stealing from taxpayers, stealing funds away from the most vulnerable individuals in this country; people who needed mental health services, developmental services, autism, daycare. Instead, individuals came in, much from the Somalian community, and stole dollars from those who needed it and put it in their own pockets and enriched themselves. Did it right under Governor Walz' nose. And we believe that he didn't just know about it, he may be complicit in it as well.

Secretary Noem: Last night what we saw is three individuals weaponize shovels and brooms, and attacked an ICE officer that had to defend himself. We're hopeful that we don't see that again, that these protesters and violent rioters will be held accountable for the actions that they are taking, and that our officers can do their work safely.

Reporter: Those cars looted in Minnesota, can you provide an update on what the agency is going to do about that, and any concern with the documents that were taken?

Secretary Noem: I believe that those vehicles were FBI vehicles, not our Department Homeland Security vehicles, so I'm not certain what documents were in there that those criminals may have taken and seen, but I would say that our agent is beat up, he's bruised, he's injured, hes getting treatment, and we're thankful that he made it out alive.
