Frank Stallone, brother of actor Sylvester Stallone, publicly criticized Minnesota’s Democratic leaders for their handling of protests related to President Donald Trump’s immigration policies targeting sanctuary states. Through social media, he called on Minnesota to “get its act together” and accused Democratic-run areas of widespread corruption and failure.
He further alleged that demonstrations were being manipulated by paid agitators from outside Minnesota and condemned protesters for targeting churches and children during their actions as “unacceptable.”
Minnesota you need to get your act together. Look at every State and City that is run by Democrats, they are all failing poison by corrupt politicians. These paid agitators are from out of state and are distorting the facts. Coming into Christian house of the lord, intimidating children? Please give me a break. This needs to stop now.

In an online video message, Frank Stallone expressed sadness over the current state of Minnesota, particularly naming Minneapolis and St. Paul as examples of cities once admired for their beauty but now “falling apart.” He attributed this deterioration to local and state officials, including the governor and mayor, accusing them of instigating violence and actively opposing law enforcement efforts.
It’s very sad to see what’s going on in Minnesota right now… Minnesota used to be a beautiful city — St. Paul and Minneapolis — it’s just falling apart.

He also highlighted concerns about protester behavior near law enforcement, stating protesters should not be allowed within 25 feet of police or federal officers. He pointed out risks of property damage and physical harm from projectiles, warning that if the situation worsens, it might compel the president to invoke the Insurrection Act.
You shouldn’t be able to get 25 feet near a federal officer or the police in a situation like this,

the president might have to do the insurrection act.

Views on Protests’ Legality and Immigration Policy
Frank Stallone insisted that protests must be lawful, including obtaining permits and selecting locations that do not disrupt traffic or public order. He challenged claims of peaceful demonstrations, calling them the “furthest thing from peaceful.”
If you want to protest, get a permit, get a field or a place that’s not obstructing traffic and go have at it,

But when they say it’s peaceful — it’s the furthest thing from peaceful.

Regarding immigration enforcement, Stallone stated a strict position against illegal residency, emphasizing that illegal status is non-negotiable regardless of origin. He compared the trajectory of Minnesota’s unrest to a dystopian scenario, expressing sympathy for the state’s residents.
If you’re here illegally, you’re here illegally! I don’t care where you came from… illegal is illegal.
Frank Stallone, Actor’s Brother
I feel sorry for the people of Minnesota.

Frank Stallone Calls Out Celebrities Supporting ICE Protests
Frank Stallone also targeted various celebrities who protested against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), criticizing their public condemnations while performing abroad. Among those mentioned were Bruce Springsteen, Jane Fonda, Molly Ringwald, John Leguizamo, and Lady Gaga. He accused them of betraying their country by denouncing it in other nations.
Well they’re at it again. Puke Springsteen, Jane Fonda, now Molly Ringwald, John Leguizamo oh and Lady Gaga…you’re on stage in another country and you’re putting your own country down.

Implications for Minnesota and National Politics
Frank Stallone’s remarks reflect a deep frustration with the ongoing protests in sanctuary states like Minnesota, highlighting a conflict between federal immigration enforcement and local government policies. His criticism of city leaders and high-profile protesters underscores the polarized national debate over immigration control and civil unrest. The suggestion that drastic federal intervention, such as the Insurrection Act, could become necessary signals escalating tensions if local authorities cannot regain control. This contentious atmosphere suggests that immigration enforcement will remain a flashpoint affecting politics, public safety, and community relations in Minnesota and beyond.
