MINNEAPOLIS — After weeks of clashes, at times violent and deadly, Vice President JD Vance had a message for local lawmakers in the North Star State: cooperate with Immigration and Customs Enforcement to stop the chaos.

“We can do a good job of enforcing our immigration laws without the chaos, but it actually requires the cooperation of state and local officials,” Vance said on Thursday while speaking at the Royalston Square event venue.
