The Issue: Gov. Tim Walz’s comparability of ICE brokers in Minnesota to Nazis in The Netherlands.
Gov. Tim Walz’s comparability of Minnesota’s revolt in opposition to federal ICE brokers to the Nazi occupation of The Netherlands belies each his abject stupidity and rank political cynicism (“Walz’s Slander,” Brendan O’Neill, PostOpinion, Jan. 27).
Walz, twisted and depressing man that he’s, has managed to insult each the reminiscences of harmless victims of Nazi Germany in addition to our devoted and courageous ICE brokers.

With his obscene exploitation of the Anne Frank story to make a weird ethical equivalence between ICE and the Nazi Gestapo, Tim Walz reveals not solely that he’s a moron of the first order, however that he sees these violently dissenting Minnesotans as some type of political martyrs.
There is definitely a ethical equivalency between Walz and the equally nutty Mayor Jacob Frey and people southern segregationist politicians in the Nineteen Sixties, whose actions bespoke a nullification of official federal authority.

Minnesota’s governor and Minneapolis’ mayor declare love for his or her fellow neighbors and residents, but absolute hate ICE brokers who’re American residents; what hypocrites.

Walz and Frey need to let cops do their factor. Local police and ICE are all members of law enforcement who need to back one another up.
Not solely are Walz and Frey at all times political, however they’re liturgical in spreading their hatred of law enforcement. The actions of the males in blue should not at all times black and white.

For the final six months, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey have refused to adjust to federal law and have prohibited native law enforcement not solely from working with ICE and Customs and Border Patrol, but additionally from holding the peace.
Over my 80-year lifetime, one fixed has been demonstrated repeatedly: Every tragedy is an intersection of a - - holes, and these tragedies are by no means sudden occasions. They develop over time as a outcome of a number of errors. Minneapolis is a prime instance.

The Issue: Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem’s handling of anti-ICE protester Alex Pretti’s death.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem’s mismanagement of ICE has grow to be a public relations catastrophe for President Trump (“Appointees point fingers,” Jan. 29).
When ICE brokers operate in American cities with unclear command buildings, masked faces and little coordination with native authorities, public trust erodes quickly. Noem’s response to these occasions has accelerated that erosion.
Trump constructed his model on decisive management. When he was a reality-TV star, he by no means hesitated to fire under-performing apprentices who had been damaging his enterprise.
If the president actually believes in accountability — and if he hopes to stop the political bleeding — he ought to apply that very same customary now.
Denny Freidenrich
Laguna Beach, Calif.
Trump is giving Kristi Noem a reprieve for the time being, however primarily based on her false narratives, this could possibly be her farewell to the Trump administration.
She blamed National Security Adviser Stephen Miller for her wording, claiming she receives every thing from him.
Noem clearly shall be the fall man as Trump is now de-escalating back from these tumultuous weeks of mindless killings. None of this shall be helpful for Trump in November.
