The State of Minnesota has filed a federal lawsuit against the Trump Administration, as reported by various news outlets including MSNBC, and the details should alarm every American who believes in law and order. Governor Tim Walz is actively working with leftist nonprofits and even the United Nations to build a case against ICE and CBP agents involved in shooting incidents during law enforcement operations, according to Walz’s own statements. The lawsuit targets agents who were forced to defend themselves against violent attackers, including two individuals who assaulted ICE agents and a criminal illegal alien who was wounded while attacking officers in Minneapolis, as outlined in the lawsuit documents.
Rather than backing the men and women who risk their lives to enforce our immigration laws, Walz has decided to side with the lawbreakers. During a Thursday appearance on MSNBC, Walz made his intentions crystal clear; he openly admitted he is collaborating with the ACLU, pro-immigrant advocacy groups, and the United Nations in Geneva to pursue what he calls justice. He accused the Trump Administration of human rights abuses and vowed to continue fighting until the final days of this administration and beyond, according to the MSNBC transcript. This is not the rhetoric of a governor serving his state but the language of an activist using his office to wage political warfare against federal law enforcement.
The federal government has refused to release the names of the agents involved, and for good reason, as stated by federal officials. In today’s climate, where leftist mobs are encouraged to dox and harass law enforcement officers, protecting their identities is a matter of safety. But Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison, who has his own history of controversial associations, declared that the federal government’s refusal to cooperate with state law enforcement is unique, rare, and simply cannot be tolerated, per Ellison’s public statements. What he fails to mention is that state prosecutors are reportedly weighing criminal charges against these agents for doing their jobs, based on reports from local media.
When did it become controversial to defend yourself against violent attackers? When did we start treating the people who enforce our borders as criminals while giving sanctuary to those who break our laws? This lawsuit represents a dangerous escalation in the left’s ongoing campaign to undermine immigration enforcement and strip federal agents of the ability to protect themselves and the American people. If Governor Walz and Attorney General Ellison succeed in their mission, the message will be clear to every ICE and Border Patrol agent in the country: enforce the law at your own peril. And that is a precedent no American should accept.
Providence watches over the bold.
