Tim Walz Used One Desperate Tactic to Cover Up His Fraud Scandal That Has Trump Threatening the Insurrection Act
Tim Walz thought walking away from his reelection campaign would end the scrutiny.
But the Minnesota governor just made things infinitely worse.
And Tim Walz used one desperate tactic to cover up his fraud scandal that has Trump threatening the Insurrection Act.
Walz encourages street violence as fraud investigations intensify
Video captured Governor Tim Walz last night pleading with protesters to keep up street demonstrations in Minneapolis.
The governor's plea came hours after a third ICE agent shooting in a week.
Federal law enforcement reported an illegal alien from Venezuela violently resisting arrest and ambushing an ICE officer with help from two accomplices wielding a snow shovel and broom handle.
"Fearing for his life and safety as he was being ambushed by three individuals, the officer fired defensive shots to defend his life," DHS stated.
The timing couldn't be more suspicious.
Multiple federal and state investigations are closing in on what prosecutors call potentially billions in fraudulent welfare payments under Walz's watch.
House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer expanded his probe after auditors discovered DHS employees systematically backdating documents and creating fake records to mislead investigators.
Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey are now actively encouraging organized resistance against ICE agents trying to arrest criminal illegal aliens.
ICE vehicles destroyed and looted by mobs Walz won't condemn
Rioters destroyed multiple ICE and FBI vehicles abandoned by agents Wednesday night.
Video posted to social media showed protesters swarming the vehicles and looting gear, laptops, and personal information.
Sensitive federal documents including arrest warrants and intelligence papers now sit in protesters' hands.
"Agents gear, laptops, and personal information now LITTERS the street," posted Nick Sortor. "THIS IS ABSOLUTE ANARCHY."
Another video captured protesters reading arrest warrants and intel papers aloud with phone lights after forcing agents to abandon their vehicles.
The Department of Homeland Security didn't mince words about who bears responsibility.
"This attack on another brave member of law enforcement took place while Minnesota's top leaders, Governor Walz and Mayor Frey, are actively encouraging an organized resistance to ICE and federal law enforcement officers," DHS stated.
Officers are facing a 1,300% increase in assaults as they try to arrest criminals and lawbreakers.
Trump threatens Insurrection Act after Walz's latest provocation
President Donald Trump issued a stark warning to corrupt Minnesota officials this morning.
"If the corrupt politicians of Minnesota don't obey the law and stop the professional agitators and insurrectionists from attacking the Patriots of I.C.E., who are only trying to do their job, I will institute the INSURRECTION ACT, which many Presidents have done before me, and quickly put an end to the travesty that is taking place in that once great State," Trump posted to Truth Social.
The President's threat came after Walz spent the past week calling ICE operations an "occupation" and demanding federal authorities leave Minnesota.
"End this occupation," Walz demanded just hours before Wednesday's shooting.
Meanwhile, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey told ICE agents to "get the f*** out" of his city.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem called the situation intolerable.
Trump's Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced targeted regional actions to block anyone receiving public assistance in Minneapolis from sending money overseas through remittances.
"The IRS Criminal Investigations division has been dispatched to focus on the Minneapolis region to identify fraudulent use of public assistance services, combined with the abuse of federal taxpayer funds," Bessent stated during a Fox News interview.
Federal prosecutors have already charged more than 90 people in schemes that stole hundreds of millions from child nutrition programs, autism treatment services, housing assistance, and Medicaid programs.
House Oversight testimony revealed Minnesota DHS employees knew about the schemes as early as 2011 but Walz refused to intervene when he ran for office in 2018.
The legislative auditor's report showed what Judy Randall called a "systemic effort" by DHS employees to backdate documents and create fake records during audits.
One DHS grant manager approved $672,000 in payments for a single month of work then left the agency days later to work for the same grantee as a paid consultant.
Whistleblowers within DHS alleged the agency deleted data and withheld records to cover up the fraud.
Now Walz is inciting street violence against the agents investigating the largest pandemic fraud in United States history.
The pattern couldn't be clearer to anyone watching.
When investigations intensify, Democratic officials manufacture chaos on the streets to distract from their corruption.
