Podcaster and Christianity Today senior contributor Mike Cosper said, “I think this is the right take (as of now). You have a confluence of factors here. ICE being militarized and internally having violence encouraged. Lack of training for sure. Protestors being encouraged to resist and disrupt ice activity.” “The Rise and Fall of Mars Hill” podcaster continued, “Hopefully an investigation tells us more. But I will say what I have said for years: We need better leaders. Leader who will cool temperatures, calm these scenes, deescalate violence. Because this leads nowhere good.”
Influencer Samuel Sey posted, “Be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to anger. It’s okay—more than that, it’s righteous—to say that you don’t know what to believe about the ICE shooting if you don’t know the facts.”

“Shepherds for Sale” author Megan Basham said, “If ICE is so untrained and out of control, how come Minneapolis is the only city in which we are seeing these tragedies? Maybe it’s because the leadership of Minnesota is encouraging miscreants to break the law, terrorize the city, and impede law-enforcement.”
Author and podcaster Allie Beth Stuckey questioned certain influencers who are speaking out against ICE:
I’m watching all types of individuals and influencers speak out against ICE who haven’t had anything to say about politics or culture since 2020. Many of these are people who identify as Christians, and even conservatives. And I just want to know: why do you only speak out against perceived injustices when Trump is in office? Why is your public outrage exclusively dictated by Democrats? I have a long list of injustices that have occurred when Republicans were not in charge on which I would’ve loved your voices to weigh in: the slaughter of babies in the womb, the attacks on pregnancy centers after Roe was overturned, the brutalizing of gender-confused children, the soft-on-crime policies that have killed innocent people like Iryna Zarutzka, the preventable murder of Americans like Laken Riley, or the poor migrant children abandoned in the desert by coyotes, thanks to liberal border policy. You considered all of these things too “divisive” or “political” and chose to say nothing. Many of you were silent when Charlie was murdered, or even added “nuance” to the aftermath by calling him racist or refuting his martyrdom. If you’ve been consistent on all of these, great. But if you find that you’ve only tuned in and spoken out when Trump is in office and the liberal media is driving the narrative, you should ask yourself if you really care about justice for the vulnerable, or if you’re only willing to speak up when it’s popular to do so.
