In a recent appearance on MS NOW’s “All In” this Thursday, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz (D) addressed the lingering impact of President Donald Trump’s actions during an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operation that took place earlier in Minneapolis. According to Walz, the events have left a lasting impression on Minnesotans, who continue to demand justice.

Governor Walz highlighted the significance of the No Kings rallies, which have become a visible expression of the public’s resistance. He acknowledged the support from individuals nationwide, while emphasizing that Minneapolis and Minnesota have set a precedent for challenging Trump’s actions. “There’s work to be done because we still need justice,” Walz asserted, pointing to the ongoing efforts required to address these issues.

Walz further elaborated on his recent decision to utilize his executive powers to establish a commission tasked with documenting these incidents. Collaborating with organizations like the ACLU and various immigrant advocacy groups, the goal is to gather narratives that underscore the severity of the situation. The involvement of international bodies, including the United Nations in Geneva, underscores the global implications of what he described as a distressing assault on Minnesota. Walz reflected on how, not long ago, the United States stood as a beacon of human rights, investigating such matters in other countries. He expressed a commitment to applying the same scrutiny domestically.
