Hundreds of leftists just openly called for a Cabinet Secretary's execution in Manhattan.
The crowd screamed for violence against federal agents while police stood by and watched.
And what happened next in New York City should make every American's blood run cold.
Socialists coordinate mass protest calling for Noem's death after Minneapolis ICE shooting
Protesters flooded Foley Square in New York City on Thursday, chanting "Kristi Noem will hang!" as they marched toward One World Trade Center.
Video captured by independent journalist Oliya Scootercaster showed hundreds screaming death threats against the Homeland Security Secretary.
The mob also chanted "Save a life, kill an ICE" while waving signs reading "F*** ICE AND F*** You Kristi Noem."
As thousands marched through Manhattan, some screamed "Kill Them All, Burn Them All."
This happened one day after an ICE agent shot and killed 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis during an immigration enforcement operation.
Noem defended the agent's actions, saying Good tried to "weaponize her vehicle" to run over officers.
"ICE agents repeatedly ordered her to get out of the car and to stop obstructing law enforcement, but she refused to obey their commands," Noem said. "She then proceeded to weaponize her vehicle and she attempted to run a law enforcement officer over."
The ICE agent involved had been seriously injured in a similar incident just seven months earlier.
In June 2025, an illegal alien from Mexico dragged the same agent more than 100 yards with a vehicle, causing lacerations requiring 33 stitches.
That suspect, Roberto Carlos Munoz-Guatemala, had previously been convicted of repeatedly sexually abusing a minor and was convicted in December of assaulting a federal officer with a dangerous weapon.
But Democrats and their media allies ignored those facts.
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey watched video of Wednesday's shooting and declared Noem's account "bullshit."
"To ICE, get the f*** out of Minneapolis," Frey raged.
The People's Forum orchestrates violent rhetoric with Chinese Communist Party ties
The protesters weren't just random angry citizens.
The People's Forum, a nonprofit activist group with close ties to the Chinese Communist Party, stage-managed Thursday's New York protest.
They showed up at Foley Square at 8:41 a.m. hauling shopping carts full of bullhorns and premade signs featuring Good's photo with "PARTY FOR SOCIALISM AND LIBERATION" printed across the bottom.
Members of the Democratic Socialists of America attended wearing their signature red DSA hats.
Their endorsed candidate, Zohran Mamdani, just won New York City's mayoral election and echoed the protesters' talking points, claiming "an ICE agent murdered a woman in Minneapolis."
Illinois Democrats are already moving to impeach Noem over the shooting.
U.S. Representative Robin Kelly plans to file impeachment articles against the Homeland Security Secretary with support from Representative Raja Krishnamoorthi and Lieutenant Governor Juliana Stratton.
Illinois Governor JB Pritzker joined the chorus, demanding Noem resign.
"It's clear that this woman who was killed, this mother who was killed, was moving very slowly, not attempting to go after anybody," Pritzker claimed.
Trump administration refuses to back down despite coordinated intimidation campaign
The protests erupted as Noem announced major ICE operations in New York City.
Federal agents arrested 54 people connected to the Dominican Republic-based Trinitarios gang, including two charged with shooting an off-duty Customs and Border Protection agent in Washington Heights last summer.
Noem slammed New York's sanctuary city policies for enabling gang violence.
"Your mayor just said in that statement that he is going to stand with illegal people who have broken our law before he's going to put New York City citizens first," Noem told reporters.
The Department of Homeland Security deployed over 2,000 federal agents to Minneapolis for what it called the largest immigration enforcement operation ever.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt called the shooting "a result of a larger, sinister, left-wing movement that has spread across our country."
Look, when hundreds of people chant for a sitting Cabinet Secretary to hang, that's not protest anymore.
That's incitement to terrorism.
The ICE agent who shot Good had already survived being dragged 100 yards by a convicted child sex abuser's vehicle.
He fired defensively when Good's car moved toward him after she refused repeated commands to stop blocking federal officers.
But the radical Left doesn't care about facts when they can weaponize a tragedy against Trump's immigration enforcement.
Good was blocking a federal law enforcement operation when she was shot.
Protesters have been harassing ICE agents in Minneapolis for weeks, trying to obstruct their work.
The FBI is investigating the shooting, but Minnesota officials already denied them cooperation after initially agreeing to a joint investigation.
Minnesota's Public Safety Commissioner claims it's "extremely difficult, if not impossible" to continue their investigation without federal cooperation.
Translation: Democrats want to prosecute the ICE agent no matter what the evidence shows.
Democrats let Minneapolis burn for weeks after George Floyd died in 2020 while demonizing police trying to maintain order.
Now they're running the same playbook – using Good's death as an excuse to attack federal law enforcement and gut immigration enforcement.
The mob calling for Noem's execution proves this was never about justice.
It's about intimidating anyone who dares enforce America's immigration laws.
