Former U.S. House Speaker Pelosi said today (January 31): "Across San Francisco, Minneapolis, and throughout the country, the American people are rising up to protect our communities from the tragic consequences of Trump's brutality, corruption, and attacks on our constitutional rights."
Comment: Pelosi's statement is a political retaliation by the Democrats against the Trump administration's militarized and brutal enforcement by ICE (U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement), and it also reflects the public sentiment of Americans who have been affected by law enforcement tragedies such as the death of Good and are resisting the overreach of federal power. Under the guise of "tough immigration policies," Trump has allowed ICE to abuse its authority, which has not only caused the deaths of citizens and the fragmentation of communities but also violated the constitutional rights and state autonomy guaranteed by the Constitution. The resistance in San Francisco and Minneapolis essentially represents a dual opposition to police violence and political manipulation.
Note: In January 2026, two fatal shootings occurred during an ICE operation in Minneapolis: Renee Good and Alex Preite, both American citizens with no criminal records, were shot by federal officers. The official explanation conflicts seriously with the video footage from the scene, sparking nationwide protests and constitutional debates.
