Minnesota Governor Tim Walz compared President Donald Trump’s immigration enforcement operations to the Nazis’ arresting Anne Frank during a press conference on Sunday at the State Emergency Operations Center in Blaine.

Walz complained that minor illegal aliens and the children of illegal aliens are afraid to go to school.

“Allow our children to go back to school. We have got children in Minnesota hiding in their houses, afraid to go outside,” Walz said. “Many of us grew up reading that story of Anne Frank. Somebody’s going to write that children’s story about Minnesota.”

This isn’t Walz’s first time comparing immigration enforcement to Nazi Germany.

Last year, Walz called ICE President Trump’s “modern-day Gestapo.”

At another point during the press conference, Walz pleaded with Trump supporters to “jump ship” and join Democrats in opposing ICE.

“You’re allowed to decide at any point that you are not with this anymore,” Walz said. “If you voted for the administration, heck even if you thought Operation Metro Surge was a good idea and sounded like something we could do about it a month ago, you’re still allowed to look at what’s happening here in Minnesota and say this isn’t what I wanted or what I want.”

The governor urged attendees to “speak out, share what you see, urge others, put politics aside.”

Walz also outrageously claimed, “We all want secure borders and immigration enforcement that prioritizes criminals,” though his actions show that is not the case.

Minnesota’s sanctuary policies, under his leadership, have long hindered federal immigration efforts.

DHS has repeatedly warned about a surge in violence against its officers, attributing it to “radical rhetoric” from sanctuary politicians.

In a statement earlier this month, DHS reported an unprecedented 1,300% increase in assaults on ICE officers and a 3,200% increase in vehicular attacks compared to previous years.

“The hateful rhetoric and resistance against men and women who are simply trying to do their jobs must end. Federal law enforcement officers are facing a more than 1,300% increase in assaults against them as they put their lives on the line to arrest criminals and lawbreakers,” the department said in a statement.
