Gov. Walz Reflects Anger in New Announcement on | Political News
Minnesota Governor Tim Walz held a press convention on Wednesday afternoon, talking about the public ramp-up of anti-ICE “anger” and the state’s National Guard, after an anti-ICE assault led to the girl making an attempt to run over an agent being shot and killed on Wednesday.
RedState has totally lined the incident, including the current assertion from President Trump, in which he talked about far-leftists inspiring the mobs to assault Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) personnel..

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey has also spoken on the assault, and did little to calm people about it with his remarks.
During Walz’s presser, the governor spoke about sharing the anger of the people, while deriding unnamed others he claims “want a show,” while praising people for “always” protesting peacefully:

“If you protest, please do so peacefully—as you always do.”

He tried to gaslight people about the George Floyd riots of 2020 being “peaceful”:

Walz spoke about people’s need to “speak up to this administration of how wrong this is,” characterizing it as “a patriotic duty,” and urging that it’s “a peaceful resistance”:

He announced that, if vital, the Minnesota National Guard will “be deployed,” if protests instead develop into violent. He also pressured that the Guardsmen are under his command, not the federal goverment’s:

“We are preparing the National Guard. They are prepared to be deployed if necessary.”

Walz expanded on the aim of utilizing the National Guard, including doubtlessly defending Minnesotans from “a rogue federal agent,” including that he “wanted to be very careful”:

Earlier on Wed., Secretary Kristi Noem responded to Gov. Walz’s ridicule of how ICE brokers are getting used in Minnesota, losing taxpayer {dollars}, reminding him that there’s a large grift happening that took money out of people’s wallets. She also railed against the “rampant assault against our law enforcement thanks to vilification from politicians like you.”

Walz confirmed that hasn’t ended, based on his new assertion on Wednesday. He spoke against the Trump Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and ICE, laying all blame for the girl’s death on them, while paraphrasing the well-known phrase from the McCarthy hearings:
“DO YOU HAVE NO DECENCY?!”
Tim Walz appears to have reached his breaking level live during this press convention.
“We have someone dead in their care for NO REASON WHATSOEVER!”

Finally, Walz said MN has had enough “help from the federal government”:
