Trump’s top officials aren’t messing around. They’re calling out Democrats for their insane behavior.
And the Homeland Security Secretary lashed out at these radical Leftists for stoking violence.
During an exchange on CNN’s State of the Union this Sunday, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem didn’t hold back when she tore into Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey. These Democrat leaders stand accused of whipping up public frenzy during the escalating drama over the Trump administration’s tough deportation crackdown. Noem made it crystal clear that their reckless rhetoric is endangering everyday Americans while shielding criminals in their so-called sanctuary haven.
The showdown kicked off when host Jake Tapper pressed Noem on why state and local officials in Minnesota are being shut out of a key investigation into a recent shooting. Tapper highlighted pleas from state officials for joint access to evidence alongside the FBI. He pointed out that such collaborations are standard practice in these high-stakes probes.
Noem shot back without hesitation, defending the federal approach. “Well, we’re following the same protocols that we’ve always followed in these situations. Nothing’s changed. We do our investigations, and the federal government continues to do that with the Department of Justice.”
Tapper wasn’t letting it slide, questioning the lack of teamwork with locals. He asked point-blank, “You don’t work with locals?”
The DHS chief clarified her stance, emphasizing conditional cooperation. “But we do work with locals when they work with us. But on the investigation piece of it, ICE and the Department of Homeland Security have a process and a protocol that we’ve always followed, and we’re doing the same thing in this situation.”
Tapper pushed for more details on that cryptic line. “But what do you mean? You work with them when they work with you?”
Noem doubled down, shifting the spotlight to the real dangers lurking in Democrat-run cities. “Like as far as operations on the ground, we would love that. These sanctuary cities, such as Minneapolis, are extremely dangerous for American citizens. And, Jake, since we’ve been there, we’ve arrested dozens and dozens of m*rderers and r*pists.”
This revelation underscores the Trump team’s no-nonsense push to clean up the streets, nabbing violent offenders who thrive under lax liberal policies. Noem’s words paint a stark picture of how sanctuary status turns communities into magnets for crime, putting law-abiding folks at risk.
Tapper circled back, noting that even Department of Justice officials seem to be stonewalling the locals. He probed, “I understand that you’re saying that it’s the Department of Justice, not DHS, but officials are saying the Department of Justice is not working with them. Should they be working with the locals?”
That’s when Noem unleashed her most blistering critique, calling out Walz and Frey for their inflammatory antics:
“You know, I would say that these locals, if you look at what Governor Walz has said, if you look at what Mayor Frey has said, they’ve extremely politicized and inappropriately talked about the situation on the ground in their city. They’ve inflamed the public. They’ve encouraged the kind of destruction and violence that we’ve seen in Minneapolis those last several days.”
“And I would encourage them to grow up, get some maturity, act like people who are responsible, who want people to be safe and the right thing be done. When you use the kind of language that you use against law enforcement officers, they lose their credibility.”
Her sharp rebuke hits home for anyone tired of leftist politicians playing games with public safety. Noem’s call for maturity exposes the hypocrisy of Dems who claim to champion communities but instead fan the flames of unrest to score political points.
This clash comes at a pivotal moment as the Trump administration ramps up deportations, targeting illegal immigrants who’ve committed heinous crimes. Sanctuary cities like Minneapolis have long been a thorn in the side of federal enforcement, allowing dangerous elements to evade justice and terrorize neighborhoods.
Noem’s unapologetic defense of protocol shows the feds won’t bend to pressure from blue-state officials more interested in virtue signaling than protecting citizens. Her mention of arresting “dozens and dozens of m*rderers and r*pists” drives home the urgency of the mission—real results over empty talk.
Walz and Frey’s complaints about being sidelined ring hollow when their own words have stoked the very violence they’re now wanting to investigate.
It’s classic Democrat deflection: create the problem, then blame others for not letting you “help” fix it.
As tensions boil over in Minnesota, Noem’s appearance serves as a rallying cry for patriots who demand law and order. Her message is simple—stop the games, support the badges, and put America first.
