Governor Walz Addresses Ongoing Federal Presence in Minnesota

Published | Video Starts at 00:14

My fellow Minnesotans, what's happening in Minnesota right now defies belief. News reports simply don't do justice to the level of chaos and disruption and trauma the federal government is raining down upon our communities. Two to three thousand armed agents of the federal government have been deployed to Minnesota. Armed, masked, under trained ICE agents, are going door to door, ordering people to point out where their neighbors of color live. They're pulling over people indiscriminately, including US Citizens, and demanding to see their papers. (00:14–00:20)

CLAIM

Asserts that 2,000 to 3,000 federal agents are in Minnesota.
