In response to the disruption at the Cities Church over the weekend, White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson accused Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey of inciting the anti-ICE protests in a Monday statement to Fox News Digital. 

"Jacob Frey and Tim Walz have whipped these rioters into a frenzy and turned them loose to wreak havoc on Minneapolis,” she stated. "Frey and Walz should be ashamed for inciting such chaos, but the Trump Administration will continue enforcing the law."
