<p>WASHINGTON — Vice President JD Vance will travel to Minneapolis, Minnesota, on Thursday, &#8220;ground zero&#8221; for the anti-ICE violence, protesting, and rioting.</p>
<p>Vance will first head to an industrial shipping facility in Toledo, Ohio, where he will deliver remarks on President Donald Trump&#8217;s commitment to lowering prices, increasing paychecks, and creating more jobs across the Midwest.</p>
<p>He will then head to Minneapolis, Minnesota, to hold a roundtable discussion with local leaders and community members, deliver remarks, and meet with ICE agents to &#8220;reinforce the White House’s unwavering support for federal immigration officials,&#8221; a White House official told The Daily Wire.</p>
<p>The White House believes Democrats in Minnesota have purposefully neglected the fraud in the state, undermining federal immigration authorities in their investigations into &#8220;criminal wrongdoing,&#8221; an official shared.</p>
<p>&#8220;Minnesota has become ground zero for attacks on ICE officials and illegal, violent anti-ICE protests,&#8221; that official said.</p>
<p>When Vance speaks in Minneapolis, he plans to highlight the administration&#8217;s &#8220;commitment to restoring law and order&#8221; in the city. He will point to the blue city&#8217;s sanctuary city policies and how they have &#8220;degraded public safety and endangered ICE officers,&#8221; the official shared.</p>

<p>The vice president will also celebrate the &#8220;essential work ICE agents have done to take dangerous, criminal illegal aliens off of America’s streets.&#8221;</p>
<p>The move comes after Vance, during a press briefing at the White House last week, announced a new position at the Justice Department: the Assistant Attorney General, focused on cracking down on fraud and abuse of taxpayer-funded programs.</p>
<p>“To make sure that we prosecute the bad guys and do it as swiftly and efficiently as possible … we are creating a new assistant attorney general position who will have nationwide jurisdiction over the issue of fraud,” Vance said from the podium in the White House briefing room. “Now, of course, that person’s efforts will start and focus primarily in Minnesota, but it is going to be a nationwide effort, because unfortunately, the American people have been defrauded in a very nationwide way.”</p>
<p>The vice president noted that the new position is part of the Trump administration&#8217;s plan to go after fraud in states like California, Minnesota, and Ohio.</p>
<p>“If you’re a young parent struggling to afford childcare in the United States of America, there are programs that we have to make it easier for your kids to get in daycare, for your kids to get in preschool,” Vance said at the time. “Those programs should go to American citizens, not be defrauded by Somali immigrants, and others.”</p>
