Trump, Walz Discuss Fatal Minneapolis Border Patrol Shooting
The Spin
Republican narrative
After days of chaos and reckless rhetoric, Walz finally chose cooperation. Trump stepped in, secured a productive call, and agreed to impartial investigations while coordinating immigration enforcement focused on violent criminals. That's leadership — cutting through lies, restoring order and sending Tom Homan to fix a mess local leaders let spiral. Minnesota needs results, not bullhorn theatrics.
Democratic narrative
This phone call may sound conciliatory, but it came under heavy federal pressure after two U.S. citizens were killed by immigration agents. While Trump agreed to talks on investigations and coordination, his DOJ simultaneously pushed Minnesota to hand over private voter records — an unrelated demand that reeks of coercion. Cooperation shouldn't come bundled with election overreach.
