Former Minnesota Vikings captain and University of Minnesota football player Jack Brewer spoke out against anti-ICE agitators in his state.
Riots broke out in and around Minneapolis on Saturday after a Border Patrol agent shot and killed one of the rioters. Brewer criticized the state’s liberal leaders for inciting the riot, arguing that Democrats oppose ICE because the agency is “deporting their constituents.”

“We’re deporting their voters. That’s part of what’s happening and it’s ruining their whole plan,” Brewer told Pak Gazette Digital.
“You can’t let people come to your country who don’t have the same morals and values as you. That’s what’s happening. Minneapolis is protecting 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 come to America who come from cultures like that, because they bring their culture with them. That’s what’s happening.”
Brewer also targeted the city’s liberal population and called for behavioral evaluations and national guard intervention.
“Something is wrong in Minneapolis. We need a citywide behavioral health screening. People have completely lost their grip,” 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 return home to their families safely.”
In 2018, Mayor Jacob Frey presented Brewer with the key to the city of Minneapolis. But today, Brewer condemns Frey for taking far-left positions.

“I wish I could close the gates to that city and not let him in if I had the power. What he’s done is absolutely ridiculous,” Brewer said. “He tap dances for the Somalis. He does anything to go against American 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 against Jose Huerta-Chuma, an illegal immigrant with a criminal record that includes domestic assault for intentional bodily harm in conflict, disorderly conduct and driving without a valid license.
Department of Homeland Security officials said Pretti approached Border Patrol agents armed with a 9mm handgun and “violently resisted” when they tried to disarm him. Medics immediately rendered 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,” leading to crowd control measures, according to DHS.
The Minneapolis Police Department asked the public to remain calm following Saturday’s shooting.
“We are aware of reports of another shooting involving federal officers 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 Pak Gazette 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 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 was an emergency call for all sworn personnel to return to duty to handle the situation.
While MPD is leading the charge, it is getting help from the Minnesota State Patrol and the sheriffs of Hennepin and Ramsey counties, 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 started in the area were safely extinguished.”
