These Are the 'Sickos' Tim Walz Is Fighting to Keep in the US

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and other Democratic elected officials have done nothing but disparage the brave immigration enforcement officers who are putting their lives on the line each day to make the country safer. In May, the failed Democratic VP nominee went so far as to call ICE a “modern-day Gestapo,” prompting a furious response from acting ICE director Todd Lyons, who said the “abhorrent” and “dehumanizing” comparison “should not be tolerated.”

“It seems that Mr. Walz prefers violent criminal aliens are released into Minnesota’s communities,” Lyons added. "If the governor doesn’t like the laws, he’s free to advocate that Congress change them, but he should refrain from putting ICE officers in danger by likening them to one of the most appalling groups in history.”

Walz hasn’t backed down, so the Department of Homeland Security is showing the American people exactly who he’s defending.
