President Donald Trump slammed Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey and Gov. Tim Walz after another fatal shooting in Minneapolis earlier today.
Trump said that Frey and Walz “are inciting Insurrection, with their pompous, dangerous, and arrogant rhetoric!”
Instead of protesting Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers, they should be looking for the billions of dollars that criminals stole from Minnesota, Trump wrote.
“LET OUR ICE PATRIOTS DO THEIR JOB! 12,000 Illegal Alien Criminals, many of them violent, have been arrested and taken out of Minnesota. If they were still there, you would see something far worse than you are witnessing today!”

When I visited Minnesota, what the ICE agents wanted more than anything was to work with local law enforcement so that situations on the ground didn't get out of hand.

Walz, who previously compared ICE agents to the Gestapo according to RealClearPolitics, called on Trump to end the immigration blitz.
I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening.
— Governor Tim Walz (@GovTimWalz) January 24, 2026
The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.
If Walz wanted ICE out, all he has to do is offer the White House a deal that they will comply with federal immigration law and comply with ICE detainers.

You're a governor, not a king of a state. SCOTUS has ruled, states can't make their own rules when it comes to immigration https://t.co/kMJjXZ0nPj

Tim Walz just a few days ago was climbing on the gate of his mansion urging protesters to keep causing “trouble” and fighting ICE.

An armed man just attacked agents and got killed.
See how that works? Minnesota officials are fueling this.
