"Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) made a direct plea to President Donald Trump and DHS Secretary Kristi Noem not to send more federal law officers to his state after an ICE agent shot and killed a woman on Wednesday. I have a very simple message: We do not need any further help from the federal government, Walz said at a press conference. To Donald Trump and Kristi Noem, you have done enough."
"His comments followed Noem saying the 37-year-old woman had perpetrated an act of domestic terrorism by attempting to run [ICE agents] over and ram them with her vehicle. President Trump said he agreed after watching video of the incident. The woman driving the car was very disorderly, obstructing and resisting, who then violently, willfully, and viciously ran over the ICE Officer, who seems to have shot her in self defense, Trump posted on Truth Social."
"Walz's rebuke of the Trump Administration echoed what Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey (D) had to say. Frey said it was b*llshit to say the incident was self-defense and bluntly told ICE to get the f*ck out of his city. The shooting has divided politicians and commentators along party lines. Other Dems like Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar joined Walz and Frey in denouncing ICE,"
Gov. Tim Walz urged President Trump and DHS Secretary Kristi Noem not to send additional federal law officers to Minnesota after an ICE agent shot and killed a woman. Walz said Minnesota did not need more federal help and told Trump and Noem they had done enough. Noem called the incident domestic terrorism, and President Trump said he agreed after viewing video and posted that the woman ran over an ICE officer and was shot in self-defense. Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey rejected the self-defense claim and demanded ICE leave. The shooting divided politicians and pundits; Walz said the state would rely on the National Guard, urged peaceful protest, and vowed not to let the community be used in a national political fight.
