Despite their vilification by Democrat officials and an 8,000% increase in death threats, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents continue in Minneapolis and other dangerous sanctuary jurisdictions to make arrests — 70% of which are reportedly of criminal illegal aliens charged or convicted of a crime in the United States.When attempting to make one such arrest on Wednesday evening, a federal law enforcement officer was savagely attacked not only by the illegal alien he was pursuing but by a pair of onlookers who apparently felt compelled to frustrate the administration of justice.'Minnesota insurrection is a direct result of a FAILED governor and a TERRIBLE mayor encouraging violence.'The incident resulted in an apparent defensive shooting, which radicals seized upon as yet another excuse to attack police, engage in wanton destruction, and altogether ramp up what the Department of Justice is now referring to as an "insurrection."The shootingThe Department of Homeland Security indicated that around 6:50 p.m. local time, federal agents attempted to arrest an illegal alien from Venezuela. The suspect peeled away in his vehicle and fled the scene but ultimately crashed into a parked car.While the suspect proceeded to take off running, an agent, who has been identified as an ICE officer by U.S. Customs and Border Protection Commander Gregory Bovino, caught up with the Venezuelan in the 600 block of 24th Avenue North.When the ICE officer attempted once again to make the arrest, "the subject began to resist and violently assault the officer," said the DHS.Seeing the two men struggling on the ground, two individuals exited a nearby apartment and allegedly began attacking the officer with a shovel and a broom handle, enabling the illegal alien to break free.The Venezuelan allegedly proceeded to use one of the two improvised hitting implements to strike the outnumbered officer.RELATED: Blocking ICE with 'micro-intifada': Good's group taught de-arrest, cop-car chaos before her death Photo by Mostafa Bassim/Anadolu via Getty Image"Fearing for his life and safety as he was being ambushed by three individuals, the officer fired a defensive shot to defend his life," said the DHS.The two alleged attackers and the Venezuelan — who sustained a non-life-threatening gunshot wound to the leg — reportedly barricaded themselves in the apartment but were ultimately flushed out. The illegal alien and the officer were taken to the hospital, and the two suspected attackers were placed in custody.Minneapolis police were ultimately joined at the scene by the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension and the FBI.Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara confirmed that a broom and a snow shovel were found at the scene of the struggle and indicated "at least one person may have assaulted federal law enforcement."The Minneapolis reflexO'Hara indicated that in the wake of the struggle and shooting, a mob assembled and began "engaging in unlawful acts."In addition to pelting law enforcement officers with incendiary devices, ice, rocks, and other projectiles, rioters ransacked and vandalized federal vehicles, videos showed.Mayor Jacob Frey (D) wasted no time in fanning the flames, referring to ICE during a press conference on Wednesday night as an invading force that's supposedly rounding up American citizens."I've seen conduct from ICE that is disgusting and is intolerable," said Frey.After demonizing ICE and championing anti-ICE protests, Frey suggested that radicals "taking the bait" weren't helping.Gov. Tim Walz (D) also responded with mixed signals, characterizing federal agents as villains and recommending resistance but also suggesting that Minnesotans should remain peaceful."You're angry. I’m angry. Angry is not a strong enough word," Walz said in a video address on Wednesday night. "You are not powerless, you are not helpless, and you are certainly not alone. All across Minnesota people are learning about opportunities, not just to resist, but to help people who are in danger."The Justice Department evidently saw the signal through the noise and accused the two Minnesota Democratic Party leaders of incitement."ICE operates in thousands of counties without incident. Men and women doing their jobs, protecting us from criminal aliens," said Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche. "Minnesota insurrection is a direct result of a FAILED governor and a TERRIBLE mayor encouraging violence against law enforcement. It's disgusting.""Walz and Frey," continued Blanche. "I’m focused on stopping YOU from your terrorism by whatever means necessary. This is not a threat. It’s a promise."President Donald Trump threatened on Thursday morning to invoke the Insurrection Act "if the corrupt politicians of Minnesota don't obey the law and stop the professional agitators and insurrectionists from attacking the Patriots of I.C.E., who are only trying to do their job."Trump noted that many presidents have utilized the Insurrection Act of 1807 and that it would "quickly put an end to the travesty that is taking place in that once great state."Like Blaze News?

Chicken Alfredo Lasagna Rollups are made with seasoned chicken, three cheeses, and Alfredo sauce rolled up into individual lasagna noodles. An easy-to-serve dinner the whole family will love! A FUN DINNER TWIST ON CHICKEN ALFREDO These Chicken Alfredo Lasagna Rollups are beyond delicious! This was such a fun recipe to make and it turned out even better than I thought since it is so easy! It is a great dish to make the day before and pop in the oven when you get home from work. Rotisserie chicken is perfect for saving time, but you can also use leftover chicken you have on hand. Truly a simple dinner that brings tons of flavor and that everyone will love (even those picky eaters!) FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:  What are Chicken Alfredo Lasagna Rollups? Lasagna Rollups are basically a way to make lasagna that is easy to serve up. Lasagna fillings are added to cooked lasagna noodles then rolled up and added to a casserole dish and topped with sauce. It’s a fun alternative to traditional lasagna. Can I use a homemade Alfredo sauce instead? Yes. Here’s what you need and how to make it:3 Tablespoons salted butter3 cloves garlic, minced2 Tablespoons all-purpose flour1 ½ cups heavy cream½ cup grated parmesan cheese1/4 teaspoon saltDirections:Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until it smells fragrant.Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute to make a roux. Slowly pour in the heavy cream, whisking all the time to keep the sauce smooth and lump-free. Bring it up to a very gentle simmer.Stir in the parmesan cheese, salt and pepper. Let it simmer for about 2 to 3 minutes until the sauce is noticeably thicker. Take it off the heat and set it aside for later. Can I prepare this ahead of time? Yes, you can prepare this the day before, cover with aluminum foil, then place into the refrigerator. You may need to add a few minutes onto the cooking time since you’re starting from cold. What else can I add to the rollups? You can add spinach, finely chopped broccoli, and sauteed mushrooms. Why are my rollups tearing and falling apart? They might have been cooked too long or overstuffed, which can happen if you add extra items to the roll ups. I recommend cooking the lasagna pasta about 2 minutes less than the package directions call for so they aren’t too soft. What goes well with the rollups? A salad and Garlic Bread go great with the rollups. Dinner Rolls and some roasted or steamed veggies also work nicely. What’s the best way to store leftovers? You can keep this in the fridge for up to 4 days. You can freeze this dish in an airtight container for up to 1 month. I think this can be frozen before or after baking if using the jarred Alfredo sauce. If using homemade, it’s a little trickier. The homemade sauces like to separate when reheated so you have to be really careful about reheating those.  What’s the best way to reheat leftovers? You can reheat the dish in the microwave or in the oven at 350˚F for 15 minutes or until heated through.   INGREDIENTS NEEDED: (SEE RECIPE CARD BELOW FOR THE FULL RECIPE) lasagna noodles– You can use any brand of lasagna noodles. Even if you’re grabbing the oven ready lasagna noodles (as you see in my photo below), you still need to cook them a bit so they are pliable to roll up. garlic Alfredo sauce– grab a jar of whatever brand you like, or you can make some Homemade Alfredo sauce. I shared the recipe for that above in the FAQ’s (Frequently Asked Questions). Additionally, you could use regular alfredo, I just like the extra pop of flavor the garlic alfredo brings. shredded mozzarella cheese – I just used the pre-shredded kind here to keep this fast and easy to make but you can certainly shred it yourself. grated Parmesan cheese– you can use freshly grated or the stuff in the green bottle ricotta cheese – some folks prefer this with small curd cottage cheese (it’s also a cheaper option) so use what you prefer. Italian seasoning and garlic powder – I use garlic powder but you could certainly use a little fresh garlic or the jarred stuff (add to taste.) shredded cooked chicken– I used a rotisserie chicken, but you can use any already cooked, ready to go chicken. Any leftover chicken would work nicely. HOW TO MAKE CHICKEN ALFREDO LASAGNA ROLLUPS: Preheat the oven to 375° F. Cook the lasagna noodles according to the directions (cooking about 2 minutes less than on the package directions.) Drizzle a little olive oil over the noodles after draining to prevent them from sticking together. Add ¼ cup of alfredo sauce to the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish. Set aside. To a bowl, add ¾ cup alfredo sauce, 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, ricotta cheese, and seasonings. Mix until combined Add the chicken to the bowl and mix until everything is incorporated. Lay out a cooked lasagna noodle onto a clean surface. Transfer 1/2 cup of the chicken mixture to the lasagna noodle. Roll up each lasagna noodle and transfer to the baking dish seam-side down. Continue with remaining rollups. Pour the remaining alfredo sauce evenly on top of the rollups then sprinkle remaining one cup shredded mozzarella cheese on top. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes. Take the foil off and bake for another 10 minutes, or until the cheese is hot and bubbly. You can broil it for 2 to 3 minutes at the end to get a golden brown top. Optional: Sprinkle the top with chopped fresh or dried parsley.

NOTE: You can stick it under the broiler or a minute or two to get a golden brown top. Do not do this if you are not comfortable with broiling so you don't burn it. You cannot leave anything alone in the oven while broiling. You have to watch it the entire time or it can burn very fast. You want it under there just long enough to get a little golden brown color on top. Optional: Sprinkle the top with 1 Tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (or dried parsley.) Then serve! Notes Please refer to my FAQ’s (Frequently Asked Questions) and ingredient list above for other substitutions or for the answers to the most common questions. If you are using pre-shredded mozzarella, a lot of the bags are sold in 2 cup servings (an 8 ounce bag). This recipe calls for 3 cups. You can use less cheese in this recipe if you just want to buy just the one bag. Just use one cup shredded mozzarella in the chicken mixture and one cup for the topping.

Translation: Donald Trump doesn't want to "fire a $2 million missile at a $10 empty tent and hit a camel in the butt." Maybe he has more in common with George W. Bush than Trump likes to admit. Or maybe…
