Walz Over ICE Agent Remark"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>Several Democratic governors, including Minnesota\u2019s Tim Walz, testified Thursday before the House Oversight Committee on sanctuary state policies and illegal immigration. Walz, who served as Kamala Harris\u2019s running mate during their failed 2024 White House bid, claimed Minnesota is not officially a sanctuary state, noting that neither he nor the legislature had formally passed such a designation. However, Rep. Tom Emmer (R-Minn.) challenged that assertion, referencing Walz\u2019s past statements and social media posts. Emmer highlighted a 2018 tweet in which Walz wrote, \u201cI support policies that keep law enforcement from enforcing federal laws.\u201d He also confronted the governor over remarks made during a 2024 commencement address, where Walz referred to ICE agents as \u201cDonald Trump\u2019s modern day Gestapo.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Emmer condemned the comment as dangerous and inflammatory, especially in light of recent attacks on ICE personnel in Los Angeles. \u201cICE agents are brave Americans,\u201d Emmer said. \u201cYou, at the very least, owe them an apology.\u201d He further criticized Walz\u2019s policies that provide public benefits to undocumented immigrants, including free healthcare, college, and driver\u2019s licenses, while allegedly limiting law enforcement\u2019s ability to act. \u201cIf you think that\u2019s not a sanctuary state, you shouldn\u2019t be governor,\u201d Emmer added, highlighting the sharp political divide over immigration enforcement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Several Democratic governors, including Minnesota\u2019s Tim Walz, testified Thursday before the House Oversight Committee on sanctuary state policies and illegal immigration.
