Jesse Ventura, a former pro wrestler and governor of Minnesota, slammed President Donald Trump as a 'draft-dodging coward' whose deployment of deadly ICE forces 'undermines the entire Constitution'

In the wake of the Minneapolis shooting, former Minnesota Gov. Jesse Ventura slammed President Trump and hinted at another run for office.

President Donald Trump defended the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent who fatally shot a woman on Wednesday in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Jesse Ventura has called President Donald Trump “a draft-dodging coward” and hinted he may again run for Minnesota governor amid a surge of immigration enforcement raids in Minneapolis.

He said he was “proud” of Roosevelt High School for “keeping ICE off of this campus.” Ventura, an independent, went on to claim that the U.S. is beginning to look like a “third world country” before bashing Trump for dodging the draft during the Vietnam War.

WASHINGTON (TNND) — The Trump administration stated Friday that it had begun reviewing refugee status of residents in Minnesota. The news comes days after the shooting of a woman by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent.

The children of slain Minnesota state lawmaker Melissa Hortman are urging President Donald Trump to remove a post on Truth Social that promotes a conspiracy theory alleging the state's governor, Tim Walz, was involved in Hortman’s death.

They charged more people in 2023 and 2024. In June 2024, five people were indicted in a related juror bribery scheme. Before Biden left office, Andrew Luger, his U.S. attorney in Minnesota, said 70 people had been charged in the Feeding Our Future case.
