The Democratic Party playbook is in full swing as anti-ICE rioters have reportedly established an “autonomous zone” after overwhelming and driving Minneapolis police out of the area following the fatal CBP-involved shooting of a leftwing terrorist.
Just like in 2020, the rioting against law enforcement in an attempt to destabilize the country ahead of the November elections.
It can be recalled that violent BLM and Antifa protestors sieged a six-square block area of Seattle, Washington’s Capitol Hill neighborhood, and called it the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone (CHAZ) in 2020. Seattle Police Chief Carmen Best previously admitted “rapes, robberies, all sorts of violent acts” were occurring during the more than two weeks it was occupied by leftwing extremists and gangsters.
The anarchists had been allowed to continue their game with the blessing of Mayor Jenny Durkan, who enabled and defended the chaos, lashed out at President Trump, and declared she would not allow the National Guard to intervene.
During the period of occupation in Seattle, at least five shootings and several murders were reported, ultimately leading to police storming the area and dismantling the compound.
The Gateway Pundit reported on the violent rioting in Minneapolis, where leftists have been clashing with ICE and setting fires as law enforcement deploys crowd control measures.

Remnants of the 2020 Black Lives Matter riots began to appear earlier when rioters started at least one fire, burning a dumpster in the street.
WATCH:
Now, they’re apparently establishing their headquarters for an occupation in Minneapolis.
Fox’s Garrett Tenney reports that “a couple thousand” rioters have taken over the area, chanting, “Keep this block,” and “Whose streets? Our streets” after they drove out all law enforcement.
WATCH:
Tenney: We’ve got a couple thousand protesters here, just completely filling this entire area. And one of the chants you heard them saying, for the last few minutes, is “Keep this block.” They’ve set up barricades blocking off this entire area that were removed by police initially. They have now moved those garbage trucks, the tables, the chairs, and they’re saying that they are going to keep this almost making it an autonomous zone.
They were chanting before that, “Whose streets? Our streets.” And that is significant, because, as we’ve talked about, Governor Tim Walz said, we have the forces that we need to secure this area; we don’t need the federal agents here. We saw, though, what happened as soon as the federal agents left this area, local and state police were completely overwhelmed by the sheer numbers of protesters that were here and got driven out of this area altogether. So, clearly they did not have the forces they needed to secure this area, then. The question is going forward into tonight, when things tend to get a little dicier, will they have the forces to control and to secure the city as a whole, or is it going to be a repeat?
This is a developing story.
