'A broken camera? ': JD Vance jokes at press meet as Americans protest Minneapolis ICE shooting

Published on Jan 09, 2026 10:50 am IST

Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt and Vice President J.D. Vance use a tense White House briefing to defend an ICE officer who fatally shot a woman in Minneapolis and to justify sweeping crackdowns on immigration fraud, with Vance blasting a “left‑wing network” and media coverage as inciting violence against federal agents while announcing a new assistant attorney general to spearhead nationwide fraud prosecutions under Trump’s direction. Vance also outlines an expansive security agenda that includes overseeing Venezuela’s post‑raid transition, arguing that the Caracas operation will bring “peace” to the hemisphere, and pointedly warns European leaders to “take the President seriously” on Greenland’s strategic importance, saying that if allies do not protect the island adequately, the United States “is going to have to do something about it.”
