IT’S TIME for a PERP WALK

Here’s why sanctuary politicians are breaking our laws.

I’m not an attorney (and who cares?) but I think it’s about time we prosecute Minnesota Governor Tim Walz of Minnesota and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey for failing to protect their own citizens while impeding the legal activities of federal law enforcement officers. Rumor has it the DOJ might also be thinking about it. (It’s all over the Internet, where everything is, of course, true.)

I’m specifically referring to the criminal demonstrations and violent actions against ICE agents – sworn federal law enforcement officers - happening in Minneapolis. Absolutely no municipal police protection is being provided, either to the ICE officers or to the civilians who live in areas where the anti-ICE protests are taking place. The winter of 2026 is a cold weather redux of the “mostly peaceful” style demonstrations Americans witnessed during the 2020 “Summer of Love.”

Demonstrations? Hell, let’s call them for what they are. Organized criminal warfare against hero law enforcement officers. You know – the men and women who hire on to risk their lives so you don’t have to risk yours.

There’s nothing about throwing bottles of urine that is peaceful. Nothing about using a motor vehicle to run over law enforcement officers that’s peaceful. Nothing peaceful about spray painting law enforcement vehicles or breaking into them to steal guns, ammo and other law enforcement gear. Just like there was nothing peaceful about burning buildings - including a police station - and assaulting federal officers while attempting to burn federal buildings in 2020.

This is not the way America was meant to be. If you have a problem with how things are being done in this country, you need to run for office on a platform of change or vote for candidates you believe will change things to your liking. The fact of the matter is Americans have already voted a candidate into office who will change things to their liking. They overwhelmingly voted for Donald Trump, to stop illegal aliens from entering the country and the crime that has occurred as a result. You cannot have a society that is lawless. You cannot have a society where one group does not need to obey law. That includes government employees whose duties are almost always defined by statute.

Minnesota is a Democrat-run sanctuary state. For some reason, Minnesota sanctuary politicians have a habit of releasing criminal illegal aliens back onto the streets. In roughly the past 12 month, nearly 470 criminals - have been released back into Minnesota neighborhoods. This includes convicted murderers, convicted violent assailants, convicted drug traffickers and, in one instance, an illegal alien with 24 convictions.

Daily on the streets of Minneapolis anti-ICE protestors have stood in the way and impeded officers attempting to do their jobs. They have hurled objects as well as epithets at ICE agents, attacked ICE vehicles, thrown incendiaries, physically assaulted agents and more.

In one instance a demonstrator was shot and killed by the agent she was allegedly trying to run over with her car. In another instance an agent shot one of three illegal aliens assaulting him following a chase and car crash during a targeted pursuit (pursuit of a specific known criminal alien, as opposed to a broad sweep of individuals, such as laborers outside a Home Depot.)

In both of those instances, no bystanders or residents of the neighborhoods where these happened were injured. Lucky. But bad stuff happens. It is only a matter of time before innocent civilians, taxpaying citizens just trying to live in their neighborhoods, are injured or killed in incidents that would not have occurred had demonstrations been truly peaceful and had state and municipal officials honored ICE arrest detainer requests.

In Minnesota’s case, had that happened, 1360 aliens, including violent criminals, would have stayed in custody – transferred from local custody to federal custody and not at large on the streets where ICE agents are now having to arrest them.

From a Department of Homeland Security statement:

“DHS is calling on Governor Walz and Mayor Frey to contribute to the safety of Minnesotans and the American public by honoring the ICE arrest detainers of the more than 1,360 aliens, including violent criminals, in custody.

“’As our law enforcement are facing rampant violence against them, they arrested murderers, drug traffickers, and an illegal with 24 criminal convictions in Minneapolis yesterday,’ said Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin. ‘These are the criminals Governor Walz and Mayor Frey are protecting. No American wants these criminals for neighbors.’”

Walz and Frey are ignoring their statutory obligations for reasons that are purely political. Minnesota and Minneapolis deserve better. President Trump and Attorney General Bondi should charge both for failing to fulfill their duties to protect the public and causing law enforcement to be impeded in their duties.

It’s time they pay the piper.

Stalking or obstructing peace officers (and firefighters, for that matter) is a crime in Minnesota. If you’re going to argue an ICE agent isn’t a peace officer or isn’t a peace officer in Minnesota, know that Minnesota law also outlaws obstructing “...the lawful execution of any legal process, civil or criminal, or apprehension of another on a charge or conviction of a criminal offense...” Federal statutes pretty much echo the same thing. Handy, because federal law enforcement officers all have law enforcement powers in every state. It’s elementary, my dear Watson. If you interfere with a peace officer trying to keep the peace, you too are breaking the peace and subject to a piece of time in the Graybar Hotel.

The federal laws are exactly what federal prosecutors are said to be considering in a reported investigation of Walz and Frey: the alleged impedance of immigration agents. Both Walz and Frey have voiced intense resistance to the presence of nearly 3,000 federal agents in Minnesota. Although Walz urged residents to “remain peaceful” he has also encouraged the video recording of any arrests or other encounters between ICE agents and the public to create a database for potential “future prosecution” of “wrongdoing” by law enforcement.

If putting law enforcement into a database for possible future prosecution isn’t a de facto effort to impede, I’m not sure what is.

Here’s another reason Walz and Frey may need to do the perp walk. They have an obligation to protect the community. They have failed on two major counts: refusing to honor ICE requests to detain illegal aliens – especially those convicted of felonies – and refusing to provide police protection to Minnesota residents by refusing to assign police to keep order at anti-ICE protests being vomitted up as a direct result of their failure to keep criminals in custody to be turned over to ICE.

Apparently Walz and Frey love criminals and hate their constituents. Explain it some other way.

If I was Dictator for a Day, I’d order exactly what the DOJ is being rumored to do: investigate and prosecute both Walz and Frey. And I’d start prosecuting all those other “peaceful protestors” who are simply “exercising their 1^st Amendment rights,” either by breaking the law to obstruct and impede federal officers or assaulting them outright.

If you do the crime, you should do the time.

It’s not a Sanctuary DOJ anymore, folks.
