Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump - Video: You have failed the people of Minnesota to provide free health care to illegal aliens.
You sign the higher education omnibus bill into law in May of 2023.
That bill allows illegals to have their college tuition paid for by the state.
You sign the driver's license for all act into law in March of 2023, and that bill allows illegals to receive driver's licenses.
So you claim you're not a sanctuary state.
You just provide free health care, free college, and driver's licenses to illegal aliens.
One reason you're here testifying before us today is because you refuse to cooperate with ICE.
While states like Florida and Virginia empower their law enforcement to detain and remove criminal illegal aliens,
You, sir, have done just the opposite.
Your attorney general is directing law enforcement to ignore ICE immigration detainers.
Do you agree with the attorney general's guidance?
-
Well, Congressman, it's good to see you again, and thank you for being here.
-
First, I would say it's my job as governor of Minnesota is to make Minnesota the best state in the nation.
-
Do you agree with the attorney general's guidance?
-
Congressman, what I would say on this is that Minnesota follows all law.
I would say—
-
It's a very easy question.
And again, if you're not—if you claim you're not a sanctuary state, you just—I guess you just claim that you support policies—you're not a sanctuary state, but you support policies that prevent ICE from doing their job.
-
Congressman—
-
Isn't that right?
-
That is incorrect, Congressman.
-
We follow the same laws when you were in the Minnesota House.
The law has not changed, sir.
-
Well, sir, if you'll allow me.
I've got limited time.
Well, that's what you tweeted, by the way, sir.
On May 23rd, 2018, you tweeted, quote,
I support policies that keep law enforcement from enforcing federal laws, close quote.
On May 17th, just this spring, at the University of Minnesota Law School's commencement ceremony, you said, quote,
Donald Trump's modern-day Gestapo is scooping folks up off the streets.
When you said the words modern-day Gestapo, you were referring to ICE agents.
Gestapo, by the way, sir, was the official secret police of Hitler's Nazi Germany.
So you're calling ICE agents modern-day Nazis.
Given the attacks on ICE agents that took place in Los Angeles over the weekend, don't you regard your dangerous inflammatory rhetoric as a problem?
-
The questions you want me to answer first.
-
So, sir, it saddens me that you refuse to express regret from comparing ICE to Nazis.
ICE agents are brave Americans who get up every morning, leave their families, and put their lives in harm's way to protect our country, sir.
You, at the very least, owe an apology to these dedicated public servants.
I will say, sir, inflammatory rhetoric such as yours and the other governors on this panel, is responsible for putting a target on the back of every ICE agent who is risking their life to protect our communities.
Minnesota is all too familiar, by the way, with the chaos that ensues when you refuse to work with law enforcement to enforce the law.
