"US doesn't gun down citizens": Biden says ICE's actions in Minnesota "betray our most basic values"

President Joe Biden has slammed the actions of US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in Minnesota, calling them a betrayal of America's core values. The former president condemned the agents' terrorizing of Minneapolis residents, saying they "betray our most basic values as Americans."

Biden criticized the government for allowing citizens to be brutalized while exercising their constitutional rights, and warned that no single leader can destroy the country's values on their own. He urged Americans to stand together and speak out against such actions.

Biden praised the people of Minnesota for their courage and neighborliness, saying they reminded him what it means to be American. He called for a full, fair, and transparent investigation into the deaths of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, two Minnesotans who lost their lives at the hands of ICE agents.

The statement, shared on social media platform X, was seen as a subtle rebuke of former President Donald Trump's policies. Biden stopped short of naming his predecessor directly but conveyed a clear message that no single leader has the power to unilaterally end the American experiment.

The situation in Minnesota has sparked widespread outrage, with many calling for accountability and justice for those affected. Biden's statement was seen as a strong rebuke of ICE's actions and a call for action from the federal government. The former president concluded his statement by expressing his support for the families and communities affected by the tragic deaths.
 
ICE agents are literally ruining the reputation of America ๐Ÿคฏ. I mean, come on, terrorizing innocent people? That's just not what America is supposed to be about ๐Ÿ™…โ€โ™‚๏ธ. Biden's right, no single leader can destroy our values, but this kind of behavior from the government is definitely giving us all a bad day ๐Ÿ˜’. What's even more disturbing is that these agents are supposed to be enforcing laws and protecting citizens, not violating their rights ๐Ÿšซ. The fact that Renee Good and Alex Pretti lost their lives due to ICE's actions is just heartbreaking ๐Ÿ’”. We need some serious accountability here ๐Ÿ‘ฎโ€โ™‚๏ธ.
 
omg just saw joe biden take on ice in minneapolis ๐Ÿคฏ๐Ÿ‘ฎโ€โ™‚๏ธ like what's goin on with those agents bein brutal to ppl exercisin their rights? ๐Ÿ˜ก Biden said somethin about betrajin america's values but idk if that's enough lol. gotta stand up 2 them, though ๐Ÿ‘Š hope theres an investigation into renรฉe & alexs deaths ๐Ÿค•
 
omg can you believe what's going on with ice in minnesota?! ๐Ÿ˜ฑ they're literally treating ppl like animals ๐Ÿบ joe biden needs to step in and put a stop to this ASAP ๐Ÿ’ช i'm so proud of him for speaking out against this injustice and standing up for whats right ๐Ÿ‘ it's crazy that some people think they can just terrorize citizens without consequences ๐Ÿšซ the fact that he's calling for an investigation and condemning these actions is EVERYTHING ๐Ÿ’ฏ let's get justice for renee & alex ๐Ÿ™
 
๐Ÿ˜• this is getting outta hand ICE needs to get its act together, but at the same time I feel bad for the victims and their families ๐Ÿ˜ญ they're just trying to do their jobs right? ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ but Joe's words are straight fire ๐Ÿ‘Š someone's gotta stand up for these people and Biden's doing it ๐Ÿ’ฏ
 
I'm so done with this whole thing ๐Ÿคฏ. Can't we just have humane treatment of people who are already in our country, you know? Like, I get it, borders need to be secured, but at what cost? We're talking about human lives here, not some numerical value that can be added or subtracted from a spreadsheet. It's like, what even is the point of having a whole country if we're just gonna terrorize our own citizens in the name of security? I mean, come on, Joe Biden said it best - "our most basic values as Americans"... doesn't that just scream "we care about people over profits"? And what's with all this 'no single leader can destroy the country' nonsense? Like, we need leaders who actually listen to us and stand up for our rights, not ones who just pander to the highest bidder. This whole situation in Minnesota is just a huge mess ๐Ÿค•, and I'm not sure when we're gonna get some real answers.
 
I just saw the funniest meme about cats on X, you know that one where it's like a cat trying to "help" with homework? Anyway, back to this news... I was thinking, what if we had more community centers in Minnesota where people can meet and talk things out? It's crazy how much ICE agents are terrorizing innocent people. I've been meaning to try out that new vegan restaurant downtown ๐Ÿ”๐ŸŒฑ
 
ICE's actions in Minnesota are super concerning ๐Ÿšจ. It's crazy to think that agents are treating people like they're some kind of enemy, just because they're exercising their rights. I mean, as Americans, we're supposed to stand together and protect each other, not terrorize them. Biden is right on point when he says that no single leader can destroy our values - it takes a collective effort to fight for what's right. It's also sickening that people have died at the hands of these agents... Renee and Alex deserve justice ๐Ÿ’”. The fact that ICE is allowed to get away with this kind of behavior is just ridiculous ๐Ÿคฏ. Biden needs to follow through on his promise and make sure there's a full investigation into what happened.
 
ICE is like, super outta control right now ๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿ˜ก. They're literally terrorizing people in Minnesota just because they're trying to exercise their rights? That's not America, that's some other country altogether. I'm so mad about what's happening there and I think Biden is totally right to speak out against it. We need a full investigation into those deaths and we need justice for the families of Renee Good and Alex Pretti ๐Ÿ’”๐Ÿ˜ข. It's ridiculous that people are still getting treated like this in 2025 ๐Ÿคฏ. The government needs to step up and take action, not just talk about it. We can't just sit back and let this happen. We need to stand together as Americans and demand change ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ’ช
 
omg i'm so done with ice already ๐Ÿ™„ they're literally treating ppl like animals in minnesota. joe biden is my man right now for calling them out on their crap ๐Ÿ™Œ it's about time someone stood up to those agents and said no way jose ๐Ÿ‘Š renรฉe good and alex pretti deserve justice and i'm so glad joe is speaking out about it ๐Ÿ’• can you believe they just terrorized innocent ppl and got away with it?๐Ÿคฏ biden's words are everything and i'm so proud of him for standing up for what's right โค๏ธ we need more leaders like him who care about the people, not just power ๐Ÿ™Œ
 
omg ๐Ÿคฏ i totally agree w/ joe biden on this one!!! ice is literally outta control!! ๐Ÿ˜ก who gives these agents permission to be so aggressive & terrorize ppl just cuz they're immigrants? ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ we gotta stand w/ the ppl of minnesota & demand justice 4 those who were killed. it's so sad Renee & Alex lost their lives like that ๐ŸŒน. joe biden is right, no one person can destroy america's values on their own - we need to come together as a nation & make some serious changes! ๐Ÿ’ช
 
I dont know how I just found out about this... ICE is doing what, literally? I cant even imagine if that was happening in my hometown ๐Ÿคฏ. It's crazy to think that some people are just that scared of others to take it out on them like that. I feel so bad for the families of Renee and Alex, still can't believe what happened. The thing is though, how do we even fix this? Biden says no single leader can destroy America, but what about all the leaders who let this happen in the first place ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ?
 
omg yallICE is literally outta control rn they r treatin ppl like dirt in minnesota ๐Ÿคฏ!! Biden's statement was so on point, like we gotta stand up 4 our values & rights as americans ๐Ÿ’ช๐ŸŒŽ i mean what's next? ๐Ÿค” are we gonna let them just keep brutalizin people w/o no consequences? that's straight up unacceptable ๐Ÿ˜ก. i'm so proud of biden 4 speakin out & callin 4 justice 4 Renee & Alex's families ๐Ÿ‘Š๐Ÿ‘ซ๐Ÿ’• x-factor
 
OMG ๐Ÿคฏ, I'm literally shaking with rage right now!! how can those guys @ ICE just terrorize innocent ppl?!? what's going on in this country?!? we need some real change ASAP! Biden is totally on point here tho, he's not afraid to speak truth to power ๐Ÿ’ช. and btw, Renee and Alex's families deserve justice โš–๏ธ. I'm so proud of the people of Minnesota for standing up for what's right ๐Ÿ™Œ. we gotta hold our leaders accountable for this kind of BS!
 
OMG, like, this is totally not okay ๐Ÿคฏ! The US gov't needs to get its act together, you know? ICE's actions in Minneapolis are straight-up messed up ๐Ÿ˜’. I mean, come on, terrorizing citizens just because they're exercising their constitutional rights? That's not America, that's a dictatorship ๐Ÿšซ.

And what really gets my goat is that Biden is only now speaking out against this BS. Like, where was he when the Good and Pretti families were suffering? It's about time someone in power said something, but it should've been sooner ๐Ÿ’”.

I'm not buying the whole "no single leader can destroy America" thing either ๐Ÿ™„. The gov't needs to take responsibility for its own actions and make sure that everyone is held accountable. And let's be real, this whole situation is a total mess ๐Ÿคฏ.
 
just saw joe biden speak out against ice in minnesota ๐Ÿ˜”๐Ÿ˜ค it's so frustrating to think about people being terrorized by law enforcement... but at the same time, i gotta say, i love that he's using his platform to call for accountability and justice ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿฝ. it's like, we can't just sit back and let this stuff happen ๐Ÿšซ. and i'm so glad he's recognizing the courage of the minnesota residents who stood up for what's right ๐Ÿ’ช. i think it's awesome that he's encouraging americans to speak out against injustice too... because when we all stand together, that's when real change happens ๐Ÿ’ฅ. let's hope this investigation into those two tragic deaths leads to some real action ๐Ÿ•Š๏ธ
 
ICE is still doing its thing in Minnesota ๐Ÿคฏ๐Ÿ˜ก. I mean, what's up with these agents? They're literally terrorizing people just because they're trying to exercise their rights. It's like, hello! We're America, we're supposed to be a place where everyone can live without fear of getting roughed up by the law. And Joe Biden is like, "yo, I gotchu" ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿฝ๐Ÿ‘. But for real though, this kinda thing makes you wanna shake your head. What's going on with our country? ๐Ÿค”
 
๐Ÿ˜’ I'm not surprised, Biden is finally speaking up about this mess. It's been too quiet for far too long. Those ICE agents are literally enforcing a policy that's all about fear and intimidation. America isn't supposed to be about that kind of stuff ๐Ÿ™…โ€โ™‚๏ธ. And what really gets my goat is that this has been going on under Trump and now it's like Biden is finally putting his foot down? ๐Ÿค” Still, better late than never, right? ๐Ÿ’ฏ I'm just glad he's calling for an investigation โ€“ we need to get to the bottom of this and make sure justice is served. The families of Renee Good and Alex Pretti deserve it ๐Ÿ‘Š.
 
๐Ÿšจ This is getting real, fam! Biden's out here calling out ICE like that? I'm low-key impressed. The dude knows how to bring the heat without throwing shade at anyone ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ. He's setting a tone for accountability and speaking truth to power โ€“ can't ask for more from our leaders. The fact that he stopped short of going after Trump directly shows he's got some finesse too. It's all about finding that balance between standing up for what's right and not stirring the pot ๐Ÿ™.

I'm loving how Biden's using his platform to highlight the bravery of the Minnesotans affected by ICE's actions โ€“ it's a beautiful reminder of what being American is all about โค๏ธ. The fact that he's calling for an investigation into those tragic deaths? That's some real leader stuff right there ๐Ÿ‘ฎโ€โ™‚๏ธ.

ICE needs to get their act together, pronto! The people are rising up and demanding justice, and I'm here for it ๐Ÿ’ช. Biden's speech is like a shot of adrenaline straight to the heart โ€“ it's time for change, and it's happening now ๐Ÿ’ฅ.
 
omg can u believe what's happening in minnesota ๐Ÿคฏ i'm actually kinda glad joe biden is speaking out against ice, it's about time someone held those agents accountable ๐Ÿ™Œ their actions are literally a betrayal of everything america stands for, and we all know that no single leader can just undo our values like that ๐Ÿ’ช the fact that Renee and Alex lost their lives at the hands of these agents is just heartbreaking โค๏ธ but i do love how joe is calling on americans to stand together and fight for what's right ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ it's gonna be a wild ride, but with people like biden leading the charge, maybe we can finally get some real change ๐Ÿ’ช
