Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz is set to deliver an address on the ongoing federal immigration crackdown in Minnesota at 7 p.m., his office announced Wednesday evening.
The governor’s office is streaming the address on YouTube and it can be viewed here on TwinCities.com.
The administration of President Donald Trump has significantly boosted immigration enforcement in Minnesota in recent weeks.
Last week, Secretary of Homeland Security Krist Noem announced her agency would be sending 2,000 federal agents to the Twin Cities to carry out immigration enforcement.
Within days, an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer fatally shot 37-year-old Renee Good, who had confronted agents during an enforcement action in Minneapolis. The killing led to ongoing protests in the Twin Cities and across the country.
Walz and other Minnesota officials have asked for ICE and U.S. Border Patrol to cease their immigration crackdown in the state following the shooting, but Noem on Sunday said she planned to send hundreds more agents.
