DISGUSTING: Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz Calls ICE Agents ‘Armed Lawless Gangs’ Conducting ‘Campaign of Organized Brutality’ in State of the State Address (VIDEO)
Minnesota Governor Tim Walz delivered an unhinged rant during his State of the State Address on Tuesday in the Minnesota House Chamber, calling federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents “armed lawless gangs” engaged in a “campaign of organized brutality.”
Walz dramatically referred to President Donald Trump’s immigration enforcement operations in the state as an “unthinkable federal invasion.”
The hyperbolic governor asserted, “We experienced an unthinkable federal invasion of our state. For months, armed lawless gangs roamed our communities in a campaign of organized brutality. Families lived in fear. Children were separated from their parents. Neighbors from neighbors.”
Walz claimed, “Minnesotans who had done nothing wrong were subjected to racial profiling and unlawful detentions.”

The inflammatory comments were referencing the Trump administration’s “Operation Metro Surge,” which targeted Minnesota’s sanctuary-style policies.
DHS officials repeatedly called out Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey for refusing to honor ICE detainers for criminal illegal aliens in state and local custody.
Later in the speech, Walz blamed Minnesota’s “generosity” for the billions of dollars in fraud he allowed to take place in the Somali community.

Walz has a long history of being soft on illegal immigration and crime in general.
During the 2024 campaign as Kamala Harris’ running mate, he repeatedly downplayed border chaos.
In January, as The Gateway Pundit previously reported, he compared ICE raids to “Nazis arresting Anne Frank.”
Earlier this month, Walz called Trump a “fascist” during a trip to Europe.

You literally went to a foreign country, called Trump a fascist and begged foreigners to do something about it.

Walz has also demanded the federal government pay for “deep damage” caused by ICE operations and even sued the Trump administration over ICE-involved incidents, teaming up with the ACLU and other leftist groups.
