By In 2018, Democrats went into full “resistance” mode, going so far as pushing to abolish ICE—the agency in charge of enforcing immigration laws—as a way to promote illegal immigration.
Now, as he runs for president, America is learning that Tim Walz, who today is portrayed as a rural moderate, got entirely swept up in the push to unravel America’s immigration enforcement. Alpha News reported that in 2018 Walz “marched along protestors” at the “Families Belong Together” protest in Minneapolis to support illegal immigration.
Democratic gubernatorial candidates Tim Walz and Erin Murphy joined in a protest in Minneapolis weekend, calling for no borders and to “abolish ICE.”
On Saturday, an estimated 7,000 protesters gathered in downtown Minneapolis for the “Families Belong Together” protest to push back on the Trump administration’s immigration policies. Walz, a U.S. Representative, and Murphy, a state representative, marched alongside the protesters. Walz’s running mate Peggy Flanagan also participated.
Despite President Donald Trump already having signed an executive order to prevent families from being separated at the border, many protesters held signs calling for the end to family separation. Calls to abolish U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) were also prevalent throughout the march, and some protesters called for the elimination of national borders all together.
Murphy tweeted a picture holding a sign that read “#ShutSessionsDown and #AbolishICE. Murphy acknowledged she would have no ability to dissolve ICE if elected governor of Minnesota, but promised to “fight like hell” to “insure [sic] that our state isn’t doing Trump’s bidding.”
The revelation about Walz’s radicalism came after reporting showed that while serving as vice president, Kamala Harris has been donating money to promote sanctuary cities.
“Legal Aid DC, a nonprofit organization in the district that works on housing law and represents low-income clients in other areas, received a $1,000 donation from Harris and Emhoff in 2023, according to a copy of their joint tax return. In 2021, the couple also directed $1,000 to Legal Aid DC,” a Washington Examiner review of financial disclosures found.
The Examiner noted that “news of the donations, which have not been reported on until now, comes as Harris faces scrutiny on the 2024 campaign trail over her support in 2020 for defunding the police and her handling of the border crisis. Harris has reversed course on a variety of her left-wing policy positions after becoming the Democratic presidential nominee. But the vice president’s willingness to fund Legal Aid DC as recently as 2023 could raise questions about her ties to controversial progressive activists — including after Harris selected Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN), who has been widely criticized over his response to the 2020 riots in Minnesota, as her running mate.”
Legal Aid DC pushed for a law in Washington, D.C. that restricts cooperation between U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and local agencies.
Adam Jacobs, Legal Aid DC’s project coordinator, claimed that the law “could lift some of the terror our immigrant neighbors and their families have faced for many years.”
Democrats have been doing everything they can to distance Harris and her party from her time as “border czar,” where her work—or lack thereof—led to millions of illegal immigrants coming into the country through the southern border.
It’s not a mystery as to why. ABC News recently reported that “public opinion about immigration has swung sharply back to the right since Biden became president. There has been an 11-point increase in the share of Americans who say that “immigrants drain national resources,” a 12-point increase in support for deporting undocumented immigrants and record support for the U.S.-Mexico border wall. There has been an even more dramatic change in support for decreasing immigration levels. The share of Americans favoring such reductions surged from 28 percent in May 2020 to 55 percent in June 2024 — the highest percentage recorded in Gallup’s polling since October 2001.”
