President Donald Trump delivered a scathing rebuke of Minnesota Democrats on Saturday, accusing Governor Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey of "inciting insurrection" with their reckless anti-immigration enforcement rhetoric that preceded a deadly terrorist attack on federal officers.
The explosive confrontation came after an armed assailant was shot and killed while engaging in a violent altercation with law enforcement officers earlier in the day. The terrorist's attack on officers represents exactly the kind of violence that Trump's immigration enforcement policies are designed to prevent.
But instead of supporting our brave men and women in uniform, Walz and Frey have been actively undermining federal law enforcement with inflammatory statements designed to obstruct Trump's mass deportation agenda. Their dangerous rhetoric is putting officers' lives at risk and emboldening criminals to resist lawful immigration enforcement.
Democrats Choose Criminals Over Cops
This is the same Tim Walz who failed spectacularly as Kamala Harris's running mate in 2024, and who allowed Minneapolis to burn during the BLM riots in 2020. Now he's at it again, choosing to protect illegal aliens over the safety of American law enforcement officers.
The timing couldn't be more revealing. As President Trump works to secure our border and remove dangerous criminal aliens from our communities, Minnesota Democrats are actively working to sabotage these efforts - even if it means putting officers in harm's way.
"This is what happens when radical Democrats prioritize criminal aliens over the safety of American citizens and law enforcement," a senior administration official told reporters.
Other Trump administration officials have rallied around the President's strong condemnation of the Minnesota Democrats' irresponsible behavior. The message is clear: there will be consequences for politicians who endanger federal officers with their reckless rhetoric.
How many more officers have to be attacked before Democrats stop their dangerous obstruction of immigration enforcement? Patriots across America are watching, and they won't forget which politicians stood with criminals instead of cops.
