On Sunday evening President Trump called on Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, and “EVERY Democrat Governor and Mayor in the United States of America” to cease their sanctuary policies and partner with the federal government on enforcement of immigration laws. He also called on Congress to “immediately pass legislation to END Sanctuary Cities,” which he rightly lists as the “root cause of all these problems.”
His request, posted to his Truth Social account, comes after Walz and Frey held a contemptible press conference blaming the death of Alex Pretti on federal immigration agents rather than on Pretti’s own actions, and called Operation Metro Surge an “occupation.”

Trump wrote:
That is why I am hereby calling on Governor Walz, Mayor Frey, and EVERY Democrat Governor and Mayor in the United States of America to formally cooperate with the Trump Administration to enforce our Nation’s Laws, rather than resist and stoke the flames of Division, Chaos, and Violence:
- Governor Walz and Mayor Frey should turn over all Criminal Illegal Aliens that are currently incarcerated in their State Prisons and Jails to Federal Authorities, along with all Illegal Criminals with an active warrant or known Criminal History, for Immediate Deportation.
- State and Local Law Enforcement must agree to turn over all Illegal Aliens arrested by Local Police.
- Local Police must assist Federal Law Enforcement in apprehending and detaining Illegal Aliens who are wanted for Crimes.
- Democrat Politicians must partner with the Federal Government to protect American Citizens in the rapid removal of all Criminal Illegal Aliens in our Country. Some Democrats, in places like Memphis, Tennessee, or Washington, D.C., have done so, resulting in safer streets for ALL.
In addition, I am hereby calling on the United States Congress to immediately pass Legislation to END Sanctuary Cities, which is the root cause of all of these problems. American Cities should be Safe Sanctuaries for Law Abiding American Citizens ONLY, not Illegal Alien Criminals who broke our Nation’s Laws.
All of these requests are rooted in COMMON SENSE, and will provide the best possible circumstances to, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! The Trump Administration is standing by, and waiting for ANY Democrat to do the right thing, and work with us on these important matters of MAKING AMERICA SAFE like it is in all sections of our Country where we are, together with Local Leadership, participating and involved.
DONALD J. TRUMP
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
It’s unlikely that Walz or Frey will commit to working with Trump, even though 60 Minnesota CEOs called on “state, local and federal officials to work together to find real solutions” in an open letter Sunday.

As of Sunday morning there were no plans for the House to return to Washington, D.C. this week, but hopefully Trump has already spoken with Speaker Mike Johnson and that will change. Passing this legislation needs to be a top priority.
Editor’s Note: Democrat politicians and their radical supporters will do everything they can to interfere with and threaten ICE agents enforcing our immigration laws.
