What's the plan Donald Trump?: Minnesota Gov. Walz wants ICE removed after Alex Prey killing

Federal Actions and Tragic Deaths

• 💡 Within two weeks, two Minnesotans, Renee Good and Alex Prey, have died at the hands of ICE agents, with Alex Prey, a VA nurse, being the latest victim.
• 🎯 Governor Walz demanded President Trump remove 3,000 "untrained agents" from Minnesota, accusing the federal government of fostering "fear, violence, and chaos."
• 📌 Minnesotans are described as unified, resolved, and angry, committed to upholding law and order despite the federal actions.

Obstruction of Justice and Legal Response

• ⚠️ Federal agents denied state investigators (BCA) access to the crime scene after Alex Prey's shooting, even after a judicial warrant was secured.
• ⚖️ The Attorney General's office secured a temporary restraining order (TRO) to prevent federal agents from destroying or altering evidence related to the shooting.
• ✅ This legal action was deemed extraordinary and unprecedented, highlighting the federal government's alleged obstruction of a homicide investigation.

"Operation Metro Surge" and its Impact

• ⚡ The deployment, dubbed "Operation Metro Surge," is considered the largest of its kind in US history for a single state, causing widespread harm.
• 📈 Its consequences include two killings, non-lethal shootings, demands for papers, home invasions, business closures, and drained local law enforcement resources, costing over $2 million in overtime.
• 🧠 The state views this as "targeted oppression" and a "novel abuse of the Constitution," violating First and Tenth Amendment rights by coercing the state for political reasons.

Minnesota's Values and Resistance

• 🤝 Minnesota is characterized as a state that welcomes strangers, cares for the vulnerable, and believes immigration is not a sin, contrasting with the federal government's actions.
• 🔥 State officials are committed to matching the courage of protesters and will use all legal means—including courts, ballots, and peaceful protests—to defend its citizens and constitutional rights.
• 🗣️ Governor Walz urged President Trump to show "basic human decency" by withdrawing agents and implementing humane immigration control, criticizing the smearing of Alex Prey's name.

State vs. Federal Authority

• 📜 Minnesota law enforcement cooperates with ICE when proper legal documentation is provided but cannot hold individuals beyond state legal boundaries due to liability.
• ❌ The state argues that ICE is failing to perform its own duties by not picking up individuals who should be removed, while simultaneously engaging in "extrajudicial law enforcement" on their streets.
