Barack Obama fanned the flames and trashed the Trump Administration’s ICE operations in Minnesota during an interview with far-left podcast host Brian Taylor Cohen.
ICE agents arrested more than 3,000 violent illegal alien criminals from the streets of Minneapolis during “Operation Metro Surge.”
Obama lashed out at the Trump Administration for removing violent criminals and said, “This is not the America we believe in.”
“When I was president, I suppose I could have simply unilaterally ordered the military to go into some red state and harass and intimidate a governor there or cut off funding for states that didn’t vote for me… but that is contrary to how I think our democracy is supposed to work,” Barack Obama said.
Obama actually deported more illegal aliens than Trump has in both terms.
“The rogue behavior of agents of the federal government is deeply concerning and dangerous,” Obama said.

Great sitting down with @BrianTylerCohen to talk about everything from the courage we saw in Minnesota, to how Democrats can be true to our values and get stuff done, to how we’re building a community of changemakers at the @ObamaFoundation. https://t.co/xyskxKbM8n pic.twitter.com/E02yOaHezK

Obama also responded to the Lion King meme that played at the end of an election video Trump posted to Truth Social.
President Trump shared a video about the 2020 election fraud in Pennsylvania.
At the end of the video, a new video autoplayed – the screenshot of the new video, which was a play on The Lion King, depicted Michelle and Barack Obama as apes.
In the full video, Kamala Harris is a turtle, Joe Biden is a gorilla, and President Trump is the lion.
WATCH: That “racist” clip everyone’s melting down over? It’s from an AI Lion King parody video that auto-scrolled on Trump’s feed. If you doubt the auto-scroll, watch the beginning of this video and then see the entire video that no one’s showing you.

Obama responded to the media-hyped incident for the first time during his interview with Brian Taylor Cohen.
“First of all, I think it’s important to recognize that the majority of the American people find this behavior deeply troubling,” Obama said.
