Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz called on President Donald Trump to “end this occupation” of thousands of ICE agents who surged into the state to enforce immigration laws.
Walz has asked President Donald Trump to stop a ‘campaign of retribution’ and to ‘turn down the heat’ one day after telling residents to film ICE agents so they can be prosecuted in the future.
“So tonight, let me say one again to Donald Trump and Kristi Noem: End this occupation. You’ve done enough.”
Walz encouraged Minnesotans to film ICE agents to sue them for doing their jobs.
“So carry your phone with you at all times and if you see these ICE agents in your neighborhood, take out that phone and hit record," Walz said. "Help us create a database of the atrocities against Minnesotans, not just to establish a record for posterity, but to bank evidence for future prosecution.”
🚨 WALZ GOES FULL INSANE IN TELEVISED ADDRESS!

Walz said that one day after rioters broke into a police vehicle and reportedly stole a rifle that was locked inside a vehicle safe.
Minneapolis (Jan. 14) — Thugs joined far-left rioters to ransack a smashed up DHS vehicle. They break a safe out of one car and are trying to get the firearms they believe are inside. The rioting mirrors the 2020 BLM-Antifa violence. pic.twitter.com/W9kVDyUOdD

When Walz is caught in a fraud he resorts to calling those who caught him racist.
Its a Marxist trick.

.@PressSec: Democrats like Walz "are using their platforms to encourage violence against federal law enforcement officers" and "encouraging left-wing agitators to unlawfully obstruct legitimate law enforcement operations... It's truly shameful." pic.twitter.com/n74ZGRjJQc
