Vice President JD Vance says he came to Minneapolis to help “lower the temperature” in the city. But during his stop in Minnesota on Thursday, he blamed “far-left people” and state and local law enforcement officials for the chaos that's convulsed the state during the White House’s aggressive deportation campaign. He also defended federal agents who detained a 5-year-old boy while making an immigration arrest. President Donald Trump has threatened to invoke the Insurrection Act and send in military forces to crack down on the unrest. Vance was asked about that option. He said, “Right now, we don’t think that we need that.”
