Walz linked federal immigration raids to fear among immigrant children and called for Trump to withdraw 3,000 agents, amid two recent deadly shootings by federal officers.
- On Sunday, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz compared ICE and Border Patrol raids to Nazi occupation invoking Anne Frank, saying `We have got children in Minnesota hiding in their houses, afraid to go outside.`
- The operations began last month and authorities linked them to rising fear in communities, prompting Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz to urge President Donald Trump to withdraw federal immigration agents after Alex Pretti was killed.
- Walz has a history of using Nazi-era comparisons, previously calling ICE a `modern-day Gestapo` last year, while Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker likened Trump-era raids to Nazi stormtroopers.
- The killings and enforcement methods prompted widespread demonstrations across the North Star State, while Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz warned history will judge the administration harshly.
- Critics noted key historical differences between Frank’s experience and current U.S. enforcement, pointing out citizenship and deportation differences as other Democrats echo Walz’s analogy in political debates.
