Tim Walz issued a stern warning to President Donald Trump and his administration after weeks of sounding the alarm that the largest deployment of ICE agents in the U.S. was putting Minnesotans in danger. Trump has released a statement blaming "the radical left" and claiming the agent was in danger.
