Tensions have been high in Minnesota, particularly after the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) recent announcement that they’d be sending 2,000 ICE officers to the state.
After the January 7 shooting that killed a 37-year-old woman in Minneapolis, Governor Tim Walz responded in a press conference, calling for protestors to remain calm, and rejecting any further federal law enforcement be sent to the Twin Cities.
“I have a very simple message, Walz said, “We do not need any further help from the federal government. To Donald Trump and Kristi Noem, you’ve done enough.”
DHS Secretary Noem herself held two separate press conferences regarding the shooting, in both cases calling the driver’s actions a case of domestic terrorism. In response to calls for ICE officers to leave the state, Noem said her agency is simply enforcing laws that are on the books, and pointed to figures from recent operations.
“Since we have been here in recent weeks, we have arrested over 1,500 criminals off of the streets. Our law enforcement has arrested murderers, known and suspected terrorists, child pedophiles, and other brutal criminals that were protected here in this city. We should all work together to protect our citizens,” Secretary Noem said.
The governor called ICE operations a threat to public safety.
“What we’re seeing is the consequences of governance designed to generate fear, headlines, and conflict,” Walz said.
During the press conference, he took time to address protestors, whose anger he said he sympathized with, but called for them to remain peaceful, warning them against actions that could result in a further federal response.
“Do not take the bait,” Walz cautioned, “Do not allow them to deploy federal troops into here. Do not allow them to invoke the Insurrection Act..."

Cut off all federal funds. NOW.
Is there a single illegal alien still here in America? Then we still haven’t done enough, Timmy.
I voted for this.
Timpon and Dhimmi Jake.
The communists LOVE living in Minnemogadishu until it's time to retire and go on Social Security. Then they find out that Timpon and his DFL buddies tax the crap out of SS.
So, they move out to infect other states with their Commie voting. I know two couples that have done that in the last 5 years.
Border wall for MinneCommie. We need to keep the Commies IN their own Democraphole.
Dhimmi Jake, the Somali-loving flake.
Everyone who isn’t a nitwit retard to Walz: STFU.
Translation: "Please STOP!!! You're about to expose all my corruption!"
That sentence -- "Get off my neck" -- reveals Walz has been TOLD.
"You best shut your butter hole, or you'll get a Federal State of Emergency with 3 divisions of Marines and no habeus corpus when I lock your ass up for defrauding the United States Government."
Very clear now why TrumpII did not go into Chicago last September.
"Chicago will be a free-for-all. Pick up the black carpet there, and find Sinaloa underneath, running 90% of all the old mafia business with dem 'peoples' in the field like always (meet the new boss same as the old boss, just browner); and at some point the cartels will shoot back to keep their mojado mule traffickers out of Bonga Bonga. Kinda hard to mule yer way back from Africa.The media will find the lone bystander nicked by a ricochet and declare Kent State.
So best to save Chiraq for last, warn conventions to avoid town, etc., because if it goes wrong Trump can declare martial law and suspend habeus corpus."
This is why TrumpII picked Minnesotastan instead. He has a legit grievance against every single level of Minnesomali goobermint: Walz, Mayor Crybaby, billions in Somali fraud, and the same Somalis committing electoral fraud and costing him MN in 3 elections.
MN declared war on Trump, not the other way around. He needs to punch down harder.
ag but the adjunct general of NG was not at the press conf. and i heard the commish of the MNSP gavw timmy a hard no on helping the local cops.
And Tampons beard wife opened the windows to smell the burning! SICKOS!
Okay. Timmy....no more federal funding for anything i. Your state.
