On Tuesday, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz dared to slam ICE for wasting taxpayer dollars on rounding up illegal aliens, only to be promptly humiliated by Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem.

As The Gateway Pundit reported last month, ICE has been making arrests in what locals call “Somali-land Minnesota,” a region with one of the largest concentrations of Somali immigrants in the United States.

The DHS is also now conducting door-to-door audits of Somali-linked daycare centers and related social-service operations in Minneapolis, as part of a sweeping enforcement surge targeting fraud, illegal employment, and human trafficking tied to sanctuary-state policies.

One particular show of force going viral is a video of several ICE agents walking into a library to arrest illegal aliens. The incident reportedly occurred back on December 29.

Seeing the video angered Walz, who called it bafoonery and ridiculous.

“Ridiculous,” Walz whined on X. “Nobody is fooled into thinking this bafoonery is a reasonable use of taxpayer dollars.”

“It should not take 50 ICE agents to arrest one guy in a library.”

In addition to Walz’s embarrassing reaction to the video, he also got his facts wrong.

There were 14 ICE agents at the location, not 50. And they arrested two illegal aliens.

Noem quickly responded to Walz with an inconvenient and harsh reality check.

She noted it was ironic that he was acting concerned about wasting taxpayer money, given that billions have gone missing since he became governor back in 2014.

“Really, you’re worried about taxpayer dollars?” Noem fired back. “There’s been $9 billion stolen from the taxpayers in Minnesota since you became Governor.”

Noem went on to slam him for being so beholden to illegals that he would not let ICE arrest them at Minnesota’s jails, and for promoting violence against DHS and ICE agents.

“You won’t let us in Minnesota’s jails, and there is rampant assault against our law enforcement thanks to vilification from politicians like you,” she said. “So, yes, there’s strength in law enforcement numbers to remove these violent criminals from the communities you refuse to protect.”
