President Donald Trump announced that Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz reached out to him regarding the violence in Minnesota.
Trump said they had a “very good call” and agreed to cooperate. The president already said he is sending Border Czar Tom Homan to Minnesota, and that Homan will report directly to Trump, not anyone in DHS.
It’s AMAZING what happens when you talk through the situation instead of slinging insults and hyperbole.
Walz released more details about the call:
Governor Walz had a productive call with President Trump earlier today. The Governor made the case that we need impartial investigations of the Minneapolis shootings involving federal agents, and that we need to reduce the number of federal agents in Minnesota. The President agreed that he would talk to his Department of Homeland Security about ensuring the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension is able to conduct an independent investigation, as would ordinarily be the case. The President also agreed to look into reducing the number of federal agents in Minnesota and working with the state in a more coordinated fashion on immigration enforcement regarding violent criminals.The Governor reminded President Trump that the Minnesota Department of Corrections already honors federal detainers by notifying Immigration and Customs Enforcement when a person committed to its custody isn’t a U.S. citizen. There is not a single documented case of the department’s releasing someone from state prison without offering to ensure a smooth transfer of custody.
The response also strengthens the posts put out by Erick Erickson and Bill Melugin, revealing that people within DHS and the White House are not happy with DHS leadership, especially with the killing of ICU nurse Alex Pretti.
The DHS response has been horrid in this case, especially DHS Secretary Kristi Noem and FBI Director Kash Patel slamming gun owners.
I’ll tell you this. Even if I wasn’t protesting in Minneapolis, I would be carrying my gun with me at all times because who knows what will happen where and when.
