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.

No.
You move, Timmy.
L
Sure, Tampon.
One place that we know they aren’t hiding is the Somali daycare centers.
Comparing Anne Frank to ICE searching for criminals is disgusting.
This guy is just the worst.
Its ironic, the party that hates the Jews and wants the extermination of Israel has the nerve to bring up the holocaust while they say NOTHING about REAL slaughter in Iran, 35,500 people DEAD and the commies say NOTHING of course not, Iran pays for their protests
“””This guy is just the worst.”””
He is going nuts because he knows he has been caught.
Walz is a stupid asshole. So is his wife. We’ve known that for a long time.
Well first, Anne Frank’s story was a bit of a fairy tale. Her parents wrote her diary.
And second, are they legal or illegally in the USA?
So let’s compare gas chambers to deportation to their home country. HUGE difference. Why is he marginalizing the holocaust?
Now, in a serious subject, that post of yours made me nearly spit my drink!
It reminded me of the Monty Python “Cheese Shop” skit where Eric Idle says something like “It’s a very clean cheese shop!” and John Cleese says “Well, it certainly isn’t contaminated by any cheese!”
Probably read it in mandarin.
Now we know why libs don’t teach history to kids anymore.
Disrespectful to the genuine victims of the Holocaust.
Using the people who were true sufferers for cheap political gain.
Walz is a Chinese Communist loving traitor. He hates America.
There are NO children huddling in danger now.
That one little boy would have wandered the cold streets had he been abandoned while his parent was handcuffed and taken to jail. But ICE agents helping the child was supposedly “kidnapping” or “incarcerating a child” by “Nazis of ICE.”
None of the Democrats arrested every day for drug dealing or prostitution gets to take their children to jail with them. It is NOT allowed. Same with illegals.
Anne Frank style victims?
BS
Claims that the diary was written by her parents (or father alone) or that it is a forgery come almost exclusively from Holocaust deniers and antisemitic scumbags.
One would think Tim would learn…….his outrageous comments continue, even after being responsible for the deaths of two of his followers.
They are really pushing the Gestapo garbage.
Ok, military soldiers rounding up Jews to put them in government camps to work them or kill them.
Vs reality here
Law enforcement agents rounding up people (primary emphasis on violent criminals first) that are in the country illegally, to send them back to their home countries.
Totally the same /sarc to infinity
