LIVE: Governor Walz holds press conference

Governor Walz: My fellow Minnesotans, what's happening right now in Minnesota defies belief. News reports simply don't do justice to the level of chaos, and disruption, and trauma the federal government is raining down upon our communities. Two to three thousand armed agents of the federal government have been deployed to Minnesota. Armed, masked, undertrained ICE agents are going door to door, ordering people to point out where their neighbors of color live.

[accusations of PANIC]

Government Walz: All across Minnesota, people are learning about opportunities, not just to resist, but to help people in danger. Thousands upon thousands of our fellow Minnesotans are going to be relying on mutual aid in the days and weeks to come, and they need our support.

[inciting people to fight federal agents]

Governor Walz: If you see these ICE agents in your neighborhood, take out that phone and hit record. Help us create a database of the atrocities against Minnesotans. Not just to establish a record for posterity, but to bank evidence for future prosecution.

[you are not going to be prosecuting anyone]

Walz posted his live address on X, then quickly deleted it. kek

Walz tells people to resist, then within an hour, ICE is attacked by 'Minnesotans' with a shovel.

Someone just drove by the protest in front of the Whipple building and pepper sprayed several people. Must have been a good shot; they are still coughing minutes later.

Angry mob starting to form at what looks like the scene of the Minneapolis shooting.

Gas deployed on mob at scene of shooting.
