Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN) appealed to President Donald Trump to turn the temperature down on Thursday, as thousands of Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers find and deport illegal immigrants in his state. But until Walz and his fellow Democrats admit the truth about the game they are playing with federal law enforcement, the “chaos” Walz pretends not to want will continue.

In a longer speech Wednesday night, Walz did nothing but turn the heat up, accusing ICE of conducting a “campaign of organized brutality against the people of Minnesota.” Not only did he call the mere presence of federal law enforcement officials an “occupation,” but he called on his fellow Minnesotans to “resist.”
