Frank Stallone, brother of Sylvester Stallone, publicly criticized Democratic leaders in Minnesota for their handling of President Donald Trump’s push to crack down on illegal immigration in sanctuary states. Sharing his views on social media, he urged Minnesota officials to “get its act together,” attributing state and city failures to corruption.
He accused protesters in Minnesota of being influenced by paid agitators from outside the state and firmly opposed demonstrations taking place near churches and children, calling such behavior 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.

Video Remarks Highlight Decline of Minnesota Cities
In a video message, Frank Stallone expressed sadness over Minnesota’s current state, describing once-beautiful cities like Minneapolis and St. Paul as deteriorating. He placed blame on local leadership, including the governor and mayor, accusing them of fueling unrest and 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 continued by pinpointing the officials he said were inciting trouble and causing friction with police forces.
These people, the instigators, the governor, the mayor, instigating trouble. Perpetuating it against law enforcement.

Stallone also addressed safety concerns during protests, noting the danger of getting too close to federal officers or police. He warned that acts like throwing frozen bottles and causing property damage could lead to “serious, serious damage,” and hinted that if the situation worsens, the president might 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,
he said.
The president might have to do the insurrection act.

Opinions on Protest Conduct and Immigration Enforcement
Frank Stallone stressed that protests should be lawful and well-organized, insisting that demonstrators obtain permits and choose locations that do not obstruct traffic.
If you want to protest, get a permit, get a field or a place that’s not obstructing traffic and go have at it,
he said.
But when they say it’s peaceful — it’s the furthest thing from peaceful.
On the topic of immigration, Stallone firmly declared that illegal entry is unacceptable regardless of origin.
If you’re here illegally, you’re here illegally! I don’t care where you came from… illegal is illegal.

He concluded with a stark warning, suggesting Minnesota risks becoming a chaotic place akin to the “Escape from New York” movie scenario, and sympathized with residents facing the turmoil.
I feel sorry for the people of Minnesota.

Criticism of Celebrities Supporting Immigration Protests
Frank Stallone also targeted multiple celebrities who protested against ICE actions, expressing his frustration over their public dissent while abroad. His remarks referenced well-known figures including Bruce Springsteen, Jane Fonda, Molly Ringwald, John Leguizamo, and Lady Gaga.
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 of Stallone’s Statements
Frank Stallone’s harsh critique highlights the deep divisions surrounding immigration enforcement and the protests in sanctuary states, especially Minnesota. His comments reflect ongoing tensions between political factions and raise questions about how cities handle unrest and law enforcement support. The call for stricter protest regulations and warnings about invoking extraordinary government measures suggest escalating concerns over public safety and order.
Given the prominence of Sylvester Stallone’s family member weighing in, these remarks may intensify media attention and political debate on immigration policies. How Minnesota’s leaders respond to such criticism could influence future state actions and the national conversation on immigration enforcement and civil demonstrations.
