The TheoBros are getting the war they want in Minnesota

John Piper’s Minnesota minions are apparently rejoicing in answered prayers tonight as yet another one of their neighbors has been shot dead by ICE.

Wolfe posted on X, “Another foolish person has lost their life trying to obstruct ICE. Here’s my reaction: I don’t care.”
