Minnesota’s Democrat governor Tim Walz continues to fan the flames as the anti-ICE uprisings have grown more violent by the day.
An armed protester was shot and killed on Saturday after he got into a physical confrontation with Border Patrol agents. Walz held a press briefing Sunday afternoon, raging over the shooting, and demanding that Trump pull the federal immigration agents out of Minnesota.
The White House Rapid Response team posted one video of Walz’s remarks and wrote, “A pathetic, weak Walz asks, “What is the plan?” It’s simple. Work WITH federal law enforcement — like countless other Republican- AND Democrat-led cities have done — to get violent criminal illegal aliens out of your sanctuary cities and state.”

“Walz was asked if there is “anything that you can do to meet the Trump Administration at least part of the way.” He rants and raves and lies like the unhinged lunatic he is — admitting he has no interest in enforcing our immigration laws or investigating fraud,” the Rapid Response Team added.

President Donald Trump indicated in a post on Truth Social that Walz is inciting the violent protests in order to direct attention away from the massive fraud scandals in Minnesota.
“Minnesota is a Criminal COVER UP of the massive Financial Fraud that has gone on!” he wrote.

Later Sunday evening, President Trump unleashed his outrage over the situation in a pair of new Truth Social posts, as follows:
During the four years of Crooked Joe Biden and Democrat failed leadership, Tens of Millions of Illegal Alien Criminals poured into our Country, including Hundreds of Thousands of Convicted Murderers, Rapists, Kidnappers, Drug Dealers, and Terrorists.
I won the Election in a Historic Landslide, and Republicans won Majorities in both the House and Senate, in large part, because we pledged to SEAL THE BORDER, which we have done, and launch the largest Mass Deportation of Illegal Alien Criminals in American History. This Deportation effort is underway, and in Republican run Cities and States, these operations are going peacefully and smoothly, because Local Law Enforcement Officers are allowed to work with their Federal counterparts. For example, in the five Republican run States of Texas, Georgia, Florida, Tennessee, and Louisiana, ICE has arrested 150,245 Criminal Illegal Aliens over the past year — with ZERO protests, riots, or chaos. Why? Because Local Police and ICE are cooperating and working together.
Meanwhile, Democrat run Sanctuary Cities and States are REFUSING to cooperate with ICE, and they are actually encouraging Leftwing Agitators to unlawfully obstruct their operations to arrest the Worst of the Worst People! By doing this, Democrats are putting Illegal Alien Criminals over Taxpaying, Law-Abiding Citizens, and they have created dangerous circumstances for EVERYONE involved. Tragically, two American Citizens have lost their lives as a result of this Democrat ensued chaos.
Next, President Trump gave Walz and every other Democrat governor a to-do list that would completely avoid all the chaos, rioting and division:
That is why I am hereby calling on Governor Walz, Mayor Frey, and EVERY Democrat Governor and Mayor in the United States of America to formally cooperate with the Trump Administration to enforce our Nation’s Laws, rather than resist and stoke the flames of Division, Chaos, and Violence:
1. Governor Walz and Mayor Frey should turn over all Criminal Illegal Aliens that are currently incarcerated in their State Prisons and Jails to Federal Authorities, along with all Illegal Criminals with an active warrant or known Criminal History, for Immediate Deportation.
2. State and Local Law Enforcement must agree to turn over all Illegal Aliens arrested by Local Police.
3. Local Police must assist Federal Law Enforcement in apprehending and detaining Illegal Aliens who are wanted for Crimes.
4. Democrat Politicians must partner with the Federal Government to protect American Citizens in the rapid removal of all Criminal Illegal Aliens in our Country. Some Democrats, in places like Memphis, Tennessee, or Washington, D.C., have done so, resulting in safer streets for ALL.
In addition, I am hereby calling on the United States Congress to immediately pass Legislation to END Sanctuary Cities, which is the root cause of all of these problems. American Cities should be Safe Sanctuaries for Law Abiding American Citizens ONLY, not Illegal Alien Criminals who broke our Nation’s Laws.
All of these requests are rooted in COMMON SENSE, and will provide the best possible circumstances to, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! The Trump Administration is standing by, and waiting for ANY Democrat to do the right thing, and work with us on these important matters of MAKING AMERICA SAFE like it is in all sections of our Country where we are, together with Local Leadership, participating and involved.
DONALD J. TRUMP
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
