Tim Walz this week signalled that he is ready to help ease Minnesota’s conflict with the Trump administration, starting with working with border czar Tom Homan.
Speaking to The Bulwark, the Minnesota Governor said: “I don’t agree with Tom Homan’s philosophy on things, but I do understand that he is law enforcement and he understands right and wrong.” Walz added: “I’m going to give them the benefit of the doubt. […] I am in a position right now where I want to be very careful to continue to stand up and we won’t give an inch, but not to poke the bear.”
Unsurprisingly, these comments have upset Democrats who want to see a more direct confrontation with Trump. But Walz is setting the right example, even as other Minnesota Democrats continue advocating for stronger resistance. For example, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, who once told ICE to “get the fuck out”, has doubled down on his attacks, telling the President on X: “The job of our police is to keep people safe, not enforce fed immigration laws.
