\nIn a surprising twist few saw coming, President Donald Trump and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz held a call Monday that both camps called \u201cproductive.\u201d That\u2019s not the usual tone when these two leaders are mentioned in the same sentence.
The call followed weeks of rising tension after two fatal shootings by federal agents in Minnesota, including the highly controversial killing of ICU nurse Alex Pretti. Trump has openly blamed Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey for what he called \u201cpompous, dangerous, and arrogant rhetoric,\u201d saying it fueled unrest and chaos. He even accused them of \u201cinciting insurrection.\u201d
Yet on Monday, Trump posted on Truth Social that Walz had reached out and \u201crequested that we work together.\u201d Trump called the discussion \u201cvery good,\u201d noting they \u201cseemed to be on a similar wavelength.\u201d
The shift is more than just political optics\u2014it comes with action. Trump announced he\u2019s dispatching former ICE director Tom Homan to Minnesota. He also told Walz the White House wants state prisons and jails to immediately hand over criminal illegal immigrants in custody to federal authorities. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt backed that up, calling for full state cooperation with federal immigration enforcement.
And here\u2019s where things get even more interesting. While Walz\u2019s office described the call as productive and said Trump agreed to ensure state investigators could look into the federal shootings, the tone marked a clear detour from the governor\u2019s earlier rhetoric. Just 24 hours prior, Walz had slammed Trump for allegedly seeking \u201cfear, violence and chaos.\u201d
We don\u2019t know what Trump said to Walz, but look what happened when rioters tried to attack a hotel again.
Reports from the ground show law enforcement was ready. Federal agents coordinated swiftly with local police. The crowd scattered. The chaos was stopped cold. There was no repeat of the fiery summer scenes from years past.
That\u2019s the kind of outcome that speaks louder than any press statement.
And while Walz doubled down in a Wall Street Journal op-ed defending Minnesota\u2019s cooperation with ICE, the political temperature seems to be shifting. The governor confirmed the state notifies ICE of any non-citizen inmates, claiming there\u2019s \u201cnot a single documented case\u201d of non-cooperation.
The White House didn\u2019t immediately respond to questions about the deeper implications of the call, but the impact is already being felt on the streets of Minneapolis.
Whether this sudden alignment between Trump and Walz holds, or if it was simply a tactical pause, remains to be seen. But one thing is clear: The heat is still on in Minnesota\u2014and everyone\u2019s watching what comes next.
