During a heated exchange in a hearing, Rep. Byron Donalds confronted Minnesota Governor Tim Walz over Walz's comparison of ICE agents under Trump to the Gestapo. Donalds argued that this statement trivializes the historical significance of the Gestapo and degrades the work of ICE agents, insisting that they perform their duties with honor. Walz defended his remark, asserting that Trump's administration utilized ICE for questionable practices. The debate highlighted tensions over immigration enforcement and respect for law enforcement personnel, with Donalds demanding an apology for the comment made by Walz.
You said earlier that the ICE agents under the orders of President Trump are a modern-day Gestapo. Do you realize how disgusting a phrase that is, considering the history of Nazi Germany?
What I said, Congressman, and I have a long history of supporting law enforcement, I said President Trump was using them as his modern-day Gestapo, not identifying who you are, coming up in unmarked vans, taking people away.
It's not an either or,
It is sick to refer to Americans who are ICE agents as Gestapo.
