Tim Walz, governor of Minnesota and Kamala Harris' running mate in the 2024 presidential election, is facing criticism from officials at U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) after comparing federal law enforcement agents implementing President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown to a Nazi-era political police force.
The comments came during the Democrat's commencement speech at the University of Minnesota Law School graduation ceremony on Saturday, May 17, in which he referred to the Trump administration's rapid and controversial deportations, including of pro-Palestinian activists on college campuses and immigrants.
“Donald Trump’s modern-day Gestapo is scooping folks up off the streets,” Walz said in his remarks.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) sharply criticized Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) for comparing immigration enforcement officers under President Trump to the secret police force of Nazi Germany in a commencement speech over the weekend.
DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said likening the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers to the Gestapo is “sickening” in a statement Tuesday.
“Governor Walz’s comments comparing ICE agents to the Gestapo is sickening,” McLaughlin said. “This type of rhetoric and demonization of ICE officers has led to our officers facing a 413% increase in assaults.”
