As our own Eric V. reported earlier, Customs and Border Patrol agents shot and killed an anti-ICE protester who attempted to pull a weapon on Border Patrol agents who were trying to detain him. DHS reports that the man had a gun and two magazines on him. Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz on X called for President Donald Trump to pull the thousands of "violent, untrained officers" out of the state immediately.
Walz eventually found his way to a microphone to speak about the shooting, and rather than calling for calm and asking protesters to remain peaceful, he assured ICE that he was creating a log of evidence to use against ICE agents in their future prosecution.
Federal officers are under attack in his state simply because they're enforcing our nation's laws — and Tampon goes on TV to say: "We're creating a log of evidence for the future prosecution of ICE agents and officials responsible for this."

What a pathetic, sick little man. pic.twitter.com/RnX7gwctsO
This is reminiscent of the Seditious Six video: don't execute any illegal orders, or you might be prosecuted under the next Democratic administration.
This isn't the first time Walz has suggested the future persecution of ICE agents:
TIM WALZ: "If you see these ICE agents in your neighborhood, take out that phone and hit record."

Tampon Tim should be arrested immediately

This is intentional. We all see it. Law enforcement needs backup.

Arrest Walz for sedition.

Tim Walz needs to be removed from

Office immediately. Insurrection.
He has no idea of what's coming, and he is doing it all in hopes of distracting from his criminal behavior and deeds. They need to arrest this fool for sedition.

Walz has called Minnesota an "island" and suggested that he will mobilize the Minnesota National Guard to keep the federal government out of the state.
You heard it here first folks, they will go after Trump (and us) again. They will call us insurrectionists again. They will blame us for the violence.

Stoking the fire again.

It's past time for the Insurrection Act.

Tim Walz is a total disgrace vowing to "log evidence" against our brave ICE agents who took down an armed illegal wanted for assault? This guy's priorities are f’d up! He’s trying to distract the public from the fraud he’s committed. protecting criminals over American safety!…

Every time Walz speaks or posts on social media he incites violence against federal agents. Invoke the Insurrection Act and arrest him. This is all to distract from the fraud in his state.

Like the Seditious Six, Walz is trying to cow federal agents into not doing their jobs for fear of being prosecuted for doing them.
