Minnesota Governor Tim Walz again invoked Nazi-era comparisons when speaking about ICE operations in the state, suggesting that events unfolding in Minnesota will one day be written about in a manner similar to Anne Frank’s diary.
“We have got children in Minnesota hiding in their houses, afraid to go outside,” Walz said at a news conference. “
Many of us grew up reading that story of Anne Frank. Somebody is gonna write that story about Minnesota, and there’s one person who can end this now,” Walz added, referring to President Donald Trump.
Walz has repeatedly used Nazi-related metaphors when criticizing ICE. Last year, he drew backlash after referring to ICE agents and officers as “modern-day Gestapo,” a remark that was condemned by the agency, which warned such rhetoric was dangerous at a time when ICE agents were facing increasing assaults by activists.
Since then, confrontations have escalated. ICE agents in Minneapolis have been beaten and harassed by activists, including one Department of Homeland Security officer who reportedly had part of his finger bitten off during an altercation.
Walz again urged President Trump to pull back federal immigration agents operating in Minnesota, who DHS says are largely targeting illegal immigrants with criminal records.
“And I would say, President Trump, you can end this today. Pull these folks back. Do humane, focused, effective immigration control. You've got the support of all of us to do that, let our law enforcement continue to do what they do, making Minnesota one of the safest states in the country, one of the best places to live. Allow our children to go back to school. We have got children in Minnesota hiding in their houses, afraid to go outside,” Walz said.
The governor’s emotional remarks coincided with a viral claim online alleging that ICE had used a five-year-old child as “bait” or had improperly detained the child. According to DHS, those claims were false.
"The child was ABANDONDED by his father, and the alleged mother REFUSED to take custody of her own child. Our law enforcement took care of the child, got him McDonald’s and played him his favorite music to comfort him. Parents are asked if they want to be removed with their children, or ICE will place the children with a safe person the parent designates," DHS said in a post on X.
““And I would say, President Trump, you can end this today. Pull these folks back. Do humane, focused, effective immigration control. “
Walz could end it today. Just end the “sanctuary” policies, tell your courts and police to cooperate with ICE. Arrests would take place at the courthouse, not after a manhunt on the streets. Could not be any easier.
Not a single word of thanks to President Trump for ridding Minnesota of thousands of violent foreign illegal murders, rapists, kidnappers, child molesters and human traffickers.
yeah.. if she was from a different country and the Nazi’s if they found her would have simply sent her home...
but other than that, exactly the same!
LMAO
Not who who is dumber, him or hundreds of white liberal women demanding violent criminals be kept as their neighbors.
Ann Frank was a German citizen. Has the Dims stopped hunting Jews?
If they’re not Illegals they don’t need to hide but you can bet the democrats tell them ICE is after everyone
He’s a lying idiot. Plus, there aren’t many of us left who vividly remember WW2 and what happened to Anne Frank. So he’ll continue with his lies and criminal activities to defraud the taxpayers out of multi-millions. And if he doesn’t get arrested, will probably be re-elected.
RICO Walz and his accomplices will say anything to delay going to prison.
Very!
No kid should be out in -10 degree weather. That’s why they’re staying home, Timmy!
Imagine the terror raging thru Walz's mind? He knows the feds have the receipts on his fraud schemes, yet he's standing behind thousands of people that have no idea they are being used to keep him a free man.
If I were him, I'd turn myself in to the feds. His odds are much better than if the leftists have an overdue epiphany and figure this out.
While those kids sure aren’t at those daycare centers that cost us millions.
How can we expect kids to lear in that environment?
I just don’t see why these politicians can’t be arrested for inciting violence. Nothing was done about Maxine, so they just keep doing it. Trump said to go peacefully protest and they tried to send him to jail. Why don’t Rs have the same backbone. So frustrating. AOC continually saying people are being kidnapped is inciting violence. I don’t get it.
“ Well first, Anne Frank’s story was a bit of a fairy tale. Her parents wrote her diary.”
Oh come on.
The leftists are the Jew haters, not our side
Tiny Timmy Tampon! Minniesomalia’s Drama Queen of the Year. Get a life fatso! Don’t you have the boys room tampon machines to fill you ape?
Anne Frank’s relatives need to kick Fatso Walz’s ass. Those Sammie kids won’t have to hide if they go home and put on their pirate suits! Aaaarrrggg!.
LOL
There appears to be absolutely nothing the demonic left will not say or do and no level of violence they won’t eagerly try to stir up in order to protect their tens of millions strong invasion of the US. They always knew the radical left could never conquer the most successful nation in the history of humanity unless they brought in massive numbers illegally to inflate their vote totals, increase their House seats, give blue-states more electoral votes, etc.
