LEAD STORY: President Trump’s envoy for antisemitism has condemned Minnesota Governor Tim Walz for drawing parallels between federal immigration enforcement and the Holocaust, including Anne Frank’s ordeal. Walz’s remarks, which suggested that children live in fear of immigration officers, were criticized as ill-informed and offensive. Jewish organizations and the Holocaust Museum rebuked the statement, emphasizing that such comparisons diminish the gravity of historical atrocities and called on political figures to refrain from misusing Holocaust references for partisan purposes.
