Tensions are boiling over in Minnesota over Trump's immigration crackdown.
Minnesota Democrats were given a chance to do the right thing.
And Tucker Carlson revealed the immigration deal that Trump offered Minnesota.
Minneapolis Chose Chaos Over Cooperation
Trump deployed 3,000 federal immigration agents to Minneapolis after Governor Tim Walz refused to help deport violent criminals.
The Department of Homeland Security calls it the largest operation in its history.
Two people attacked federal agents during enforcement operations and paid with their lives.
Renee Macklin Good tried to run over ICE officers with her car January 7.
Alex Pretti attacked Border Patrol agents January 25 on a Minneapolis street.
Minnesota Democrats immediately blamed Trump instead of the criminals who attacked federal agents.
Governor Walz called federal enforcement "sickening."
Tucker Drops The Bombshell Nobody Reported
Tucker Carlson revealed the Trump administration made Minnesota officials an offer that hasn't been made public.
The deal had four specific conditions that would get most federal agents out of Minnesota.
First, local police have to answer 911 calls from federal agents requesting backup.
Second, local police have to protect federal officers when they're off duty.
Third, Minnesota jails have to identify where convicted pedophiles and rapists are being held and hand them over to ICE.
Fourth, if Minnesota agrees to those terms, the vast majority of federal agents leave the state.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed the administration wants Minnesota to turn over all illegal aliens with criminal convictions.
Local police would also have to assist federal agents in locating violent criminals wanted for deportation.
Minnesota's response?
"NO, we're not doing that."
Democrats Protect Rapists To Spite Trump
Governor Walz won't let local cops answer 911 calls when ICE officers are under attack.
Federal agents radioing for help during life-threatening situations get silence from Minneapolis police.
The demand to hand over convicted rapists and child molesters should have been the easiest yes in history.
These are convicted felons who entered the country illegally and Minnesota knows exactly where they are.
But Walz would rather keep violent criminals in Minnesota than cooperate with Trump.
This exposes the lie Democrats tell about sanctuary policies.
They claim sanctuary cities don't harbor criminals.
Then Trump asks them to turn over rapists and pedophiles and suddenly Minnesota can't do it.
Attorney General Pam Bondi sent Walz a letter January 25 demanding Minnesota end sanctuary policies and give ICE access to local jails.
Bondi also wanted voter rolls and welfare data amid a massive fraud investigation.
Minnesota Secretary of State Steve Simon called Bondi's letter "an apparent ransom to pay for our state's peace and security."
Walz painted himself as the victim on Fox News and CNN.
"What's the plan, Donald Trump?" Walz demanded at a news conference.
The plan was spelled out in black and white.
Walz just didn't like it because it required him to enforce federal law.
This Is What Nullification Looks Like
Tucker Carlson said Minnesota's refusal proves the state is trying to nullify federal immigration law.
Minneapolis police won't protect federal agents.
The state blocks federal access to convicted sex offenders in custody.
And local Democrat officials sued to stop the operation entirely.
This is the same tactic Southern states used to resist federal civil rights enforcement in the 1960s.
Democrats today claim they're protecting immigrants.
But you can't protect immigrants and convicted child rapists at the same time.
Unless protecting criminals is the actual goal.
Trump called Walz January 26 after the second shooting.
Both men praised the call as productive.
Trump wrote on Truth Social they "seemed to be on a similar wavelength."
Walz said Trump agreed to "consider" reducing federal agents.
But Minnesota still won't agree to the four conditions Tucker revealed.
Border czar Tom Homan to Minneapolis to take direct control.
Trump is willing to make personnel changes to ease tensions but he's not backing down on deportations.
And Minnesota Democrats still won't lift a finger to help remove rapists and pedophiles from their state.
