Tim Walz's Op Ed vs. DJT and ICE in WSJ

'Minnesota governor Tim Walz called the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown in the state “chaos,” “illegal,” and “unAmerican” in an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal today.

“The Trump administration’s assault on Minnesota long ago stopped being a matter of immigration enforcement. It is a campaign of organized brutality against the people of our state. It isn’t just. It isn’t legal. And, critically, it isn’t making anyone any safer,” said Walz in the op-ed.

“That isn’t effective law enforcement. It isn’t following the rule of law. It’s chaos. It’s illegal. And it’s unAmerican” he added. “This assault on our communities is not necessary to enforce our immigration laws. We don’t have to choose between open borders and whatever the hell this is.”

I feel Minnesota is on the front lines right now, for all of us.
