Good news, everybody! We’re well on our way to turning The Purge into a year-round governing philosophy.
You know The Purge — the movie franchise built on the idea that if society tolerates lawlessness, violence, and chaos for a while, people will somehow get it out of their system. It’s supposed to be dystopian fiction. But for the second time in five years, leftists — and Minneapolis leftists in particular — are eager to give the theory a real-world test run by deciding which laws they feel like obeying.
It started when Renee Good apparently believed she could drive her SUV into an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer without consequences. When those consequences arrived — swiftly and fatally — the outrage wasn’t directed at the reckless decision to use a vehicle as a weapon. It was aimed at law enforcement for enforcing the law at all.
That outrage then spilled over into something even more revealing: activists, undeterred, allegedly violated federal civil-rights law by interfering with a church service — all because one of the pastors supposedly worked with the local ICE field office. A place of worship became collateral damage in the left’s endless campaign to delegitimize immigration enforcement.

And hovering approvingly over it all was former CNN anchor Don Lemon, narrating the chaos as if it were some noble act of resistance rather than what it plainly was – a mob asserting that political grievance excuses illegal behavior:
Anti-ICE mobs are now storming Christian Church services in Minnesota.

And now Minnesota Democratic Rep. Angie Craig seems to think you can abuse 911 without consequences — as long as you’re using it to snitch on an ICE officer doing his lawful duty.
Craig, appearing on left-wing MS NOW, didn’t offer a serious policy response — she basically told host Al Sharpton Minnesotan activists should weaponize the emergency system against federal law enforcement.
“In Minnesota, we see with our own eyes and we love our neighbors. We protect our neighbors,” Craig told the least-plausible ‘reverend’ since Elmer Gantry on Sunday.
“I was doing a number of immigrant-owned business tours yesterday across Minnesota. And one of the things that we’re seeing right now is our local cities are telling business owners: If ICE comes onto this parking lot, if ICE comes into your business? Call 911.”
“We’re gonna send out local police to try to de-escalate ICE,” she added.
“We are in a circumstance in our country where literally we’re calling on local law enforcement to try to come out and de-escalate federal agents in our country. It’s just extraordinary. And Minnesotans? We know how to fight. This is no time for Minnesota nice.”
Democrat Rep. Angie Craig tells people to call 911 if they see ICE.

Funny how that works. The same people who endlessly lecture Americans about the Supremacy Clause whenever a Democrat occupies the White House suddenly develop selective constitutional amnesia when a Republican is in charge — especially when federal agents are enforcing federal law Joe ‘Autopen’ Biden and Kamala ‘Cackling’ Harris ignored for four years.
But sure — let’s pretend jurisdiction doesn’t matter and that Minnesota law enforcement can somehow “de-escalate” federal officers doing their lawful jobs. Instead, let’s focus on two inconvenient truths Democrats would rather ignore: (1) abusing 911 is a crime, and (2) it’s a crime for a very good reason.
Point No. 1 is simple and indisputable. Calling 911 when there is no real emergency is illegal. Someone enforcing the law does not qualify as an emergency, no matter how offended activists feel. People get charged for this all the time.
Point No. 2 is where things get serious. The 911 system still runs on finite infrastructure — trunk lines, call-takers, dispatchers, and limited response capacity. Every bogus call ties up a human being and a system that someone else may desperately need. Even non-emergency calls eat up 30 to 90 seconds minimum. Multiply that by thousands of politically motivated calls, and you don’t get “protest.” You get system failure.
And for what? To interfere with Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers enforcing federal law under a Republican administration — specifically Donald Trump — arresting illegal aliens, including criminals who prey on children.
While activists are flooding 911 lines to make a political statement, real emergencies don’t disappear. Fires still burn. Heart attacks still happen. Home invasions still occur. And when those callers get put on hold — or worse, get a busy signal — the consequences aren’t theoretical. They’re measured in lives.
But none of that seems to matter to Rep. Angie Craig. She’s apparently comfortable gambling with public safety so long as it helps shield lawbreakers from consequences. “Minnesota nice,” she says, can wait. Apparently so can your emergency.
That’s why 911 misuse is a crime. And now you know exactly why Democrats think some crimes are acceptable — even noble — as long as the collateral damage lands on everyone else. If this trajectory keeps up, don’t be surprised when the left rolls out a fully woke version of The Purge.
I’d set the over-under at about ten years.
