In Minnesota, the federal government is no longer a trusted authority—it’s an active threat. After ICE’s massive deployment and fatal shooting of a Minneapolis resident, Governor Tim Walz has put the National Guard on alert and focused his efforts on defending his state from the regime’s extremism.
