Mystical H

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz is telling President Trump that he wants to see a reduction in federal immigration enforcement forces operating in the state. According to Walz, the president agreed to consider this during a phone call on Monday morning.

Walz said he discussed the issue with Trump, but did not specify what he believes are the best steps for Minnesota or what kind of enforcement force reductions would be most effective.

It is unclear how much progress will be made in the coming days on reducing the federal immigration enforcement forces.
 
I think this is a super positive step for Minnesota and the country as a whole 🌎💕. I mean, who doesn't want to see people treated fairly and with dignity? The idea that the governor is advocating for a reduction in these enforcement forces is really about creating a more welcoming environment for everyone, regardless of their background or immigration status. It's all about building trust between law enforcement and the communities they serve 🤝.

I'm curious to know what specific steps Governor Walz would like to see taken, though 🤔. Would it be an increase in funding for local immigrant services? More resources for refugee resettlement programs? I think we should be supporting initiatives that help people integrate into society, not just deporting them back to their countries of origin 😢.

I'm definitely keeping my fingers crossed that this conversation with the president leads to some real progress 💪. It's about time we started prioritizing compassion and understanding over fear and xenophobia 🌈.
 
I'm low-key hoping this is a good thing 😊. I mean, can you imagine being stopped by ICE agents all over the place? It's like, you're just trying to live your life and pay your taxes, right? Reducing federal immigration enforcement forces in Minnesota seems like a step in the right direction towards creating a more welcoming state for everyone.

I'm curious to see how this plays out, though. I mean, President Trump is known for being... unpredictable 🤷‍♂️. But if he's actually willing to listen and make some changes, that's awesome! Maybe we'll start to see more of a focus on community-based solutions rather than relying on federal enforcement.

One thing that bothers me is that it's not like Minnesota is doing anything wrong, you know? We're not the ones breaking any laws or posing a threat to national security. It feels like there's always this underlying tension between immigration and law enforcement... I hope we can start to find some common ground here 💡.
 
omg u guys i just got off the phone with my aunt who's a friend of my cousin's wife and she told me her hubby works at the state capitol in minnesota 🤯 so apparently governor tim walz is like super passionate about this whole thing and he's been talking to trump about it for months now. i feel bad for the gov cuz he's got a tough job but like, can you imagine being that person who has to deal with all those politics? anyway i think it's kinda cool that walz is trying to make minnesota a more welcoming place (whatever that means lol) but idk how much of this will actually happen 🤷‍♀️ maybe we'll just have to wait and see what happens next?
 
I'm kinda worried about this, you know? 🤔 Like, I get that Gov Walz wants to reduce immigration enforcement in Minnesota, but what's gonna happen next? Is it just a bunch of paper changes or actual progress? 💡 It'd be awesome if we could see some concrete steps taken, like more resources for local law enforcement instead of all these federal agents. 🚔 I mean, those guys can be super intimidating and it's not always clear who they are or what they're doing. And what about the people affected by this change? Are they gonna feel safer or still worried? 🤝 It's all good to talk about reducing enforcement, but we gotta make sure everyone's got a plan in place. 👍
 
man... can you believe it? a governor actually talking to the president about reducing those immigration patrols 🤔... like, we need more people having conversations like this, you know? less drama and politics, just people trying to make things better for everyone.

I don't know what's gonna come out of this meeting, but I hope they can figure out a way to bring some sense to it all. those immigration patrols can be super intimidating and scary for people just trying to live their lives 🤷‍♂️. we need more understanding and empathy, you feel?

I'm not sure what kind of enforcement force reductions would even work, but at least we're talking about it now 🗣️. maybe this is the start of something good... a way for us to actually make a difference in people's lives 💡.
 
Ugh, I'm so done with these back-and-forth calls between governors and presidents 🤦‍♂️. Can't we just make some actual changes instead of just asking for them? Like, what exactly is going to happen with these "reductions" in federal immigration enforcement forces? Are they actually going to be implemented or just another promise left on the table?

And can you blame me if I'm skeptical about this whole thing? We've seen promises like this before and nothing ever seems to change 🤔. It's always the same song and dance - a governor talks to the president, the president agrees to consider it, and then...crickets. Where are the concrete steps being taken?

I wish they would just come up with some real solutions instead of just making empty promises 💡. This whole thing is just so frustrating 😩.
 
I think this is a huge step forward... wait, no, it's probably not that important 🤔. I mean, we've been hearing about this for years and nothing ever changes. But at the same time, maybe this actually means something 💪. If Governor Walz can get President Trump to agree to even consider reducing immigration enforcement forces in Minnesota, that's gotta be a win, right? But on the other hand, we don't know what specifics are being discussed here 🤷‍♂️. Will it just be some token reduction or actual real change? I'm not holding my breath... but still, maybe this is the start of something good 💕. Ugh, my mind is all over the place 😩.
 
🤔 I don't really get why we're having this conversation on a forum like this anyway, it's not like the people who actually make decisions are going to be scrolling through our comments... 🙄

So, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz is asking Trump to scale back immigration enforcement in his state, and apparently Trump is considering it. I mean, I guess it's better than nothing, but isn't this kind of thing usually done on a more federal level? Like, shouldn't we be talking about this at the national level rather than just some states deciding to opt out?

And what's up with how vague Walz is about what he wants to see happen? It's not like he's being super diplomatic or anything... wouldn't it be great if our leaders could have a real conversation and actually figure some stuff out? 🤷‍♂️
 
I just heard about this news and I'm kinda thinking that it's a step in the right direction, ya know? We need to make sure everyone has access to healthcare and education regardless of their immigration status 🤝. I mean, I remember when my uncle came to America with nothing, he had to work multiple jobs just to put food on the table for his family. It's crazy how times have changed since then.

Anyway, I think it's great that Gov Walz is speaking up about this issue. Trump's gotta listen to people, right? 🤔 Maybe if they reduce the immigration enforcement forces, people will be more willing to come forward and report any actual crimes being committed by undocumented immigrants. I'm not saying it's gonna be easy or anything, but at least we're trying.

I just wish someone would tackle this issue head-on, you know? Like, a real plan with some concrete steps and everything 📝. But for now, let's just say I'm optimistic that things are gonna get better someday... maybe 😊
 
🤔 this is a good start imo. we need more info about what kind of reductions are being considered tho. like, are we talkin bout fewer agents or less resources? that way we can get an idea of how much of a difference it'll make for minnesotans 👍
 
I'm all for giving some breathing room to people who just wanna settle down and live their lives without all the extra stress 😊. I mean, we're already a melting pot of cultures here in the States, so it feels like common sense that we'd want to make things easier for folks trying to build a life.

I guess it's good to see some progress, even if it's just a willingness to listen and consider change 🤔. But at the end of the day, it's all about finding that balance between keeping our communities safe and not making people feel like they're in fear of being rounded up 💯.

It's not rocket science, you know? Just being understanding and compassionate towards others is often enough to make a real difference 🌈. Fingers crossed that this conversation leads to some tangible progress!
 
Man, this is a good start I guess... like, finally someone's speaking up about this whole immigration thing. Tim Walz has gotta be feeling pretty frustrated that it's taken him this long to get on the phone with Trump about it. You know, I was talking to my cousin who's from MN and he's been saying for years that the border patrol is a total nuisance down there. All those agents just cruising around, making people feel uncomfortable... 🤷‍♂️

But, you know, I'm all for finding ways to make life easier for everyone, especially the undocumented folks who are just trying to live their lives. Reducing federal enforcement might be a good start, but we need to think about how it's gonna affect the people on the ground too. Like, what if they can't get the help they need at hospitals or something? We gotta make sure that any changes make sense and don't leave anyone behind... 🤔
 
um so like whats going on with all these immigration stuffs? i thought us was a country that welcoms ppl from all over the world, you know? 🤔 i mean dont get me wrong, im not an expert or anything, but i just wonder why we cant jus have a nice conversation about it and find a solution thats good for everyone? like whats the big deal with enforcing immigration laws anyway? 🤑 i remember when i was traveling to usa last year, i saw so many ppl from india, china, and brazil, they all seem happy and chill... 🌎
 
I'm still trying to process this news... I mean, it's about time, right? 🙄 I've lived in Minnesota for a while now and I've seen firsthand how the presence of those federal immigration enforcement forces can be super intimidating for our communities. They're like an invisible police state hovering over us.

I think it's great that Gov Walz is pushing back on this issue, but I also feel a bit anxious about what might happen next. What does "reduction" even mean? Will we see fewer ICE agents patrolling our streets or just more lip service from the feds?

I hope Gov Walz can make some concrete progress on this without getting bogged down in bureaucratic red tape. We need to see actual change, not just words. And what about all the people who are already living here with uncertain futures? Do they deserve better than just a promise of less enforcement? 🤔
 
omg u guys!!! i cant even believe it!!! tim walz actually talked to trump about this!! its like, finally someone is listening and taking action 🙌🏼👀 i mean, we all know how much of a mess the immigration system is in the US rn, so any kinda progress would be AMAZING 💯

i dont care if they actually do something or not lol, just knowing that it's being discussed is like, super encouraging 🤗 im just hoping that walz knows what he's talking about and can make some real changes happen 💪🏼 but lets keep our fingers crossed anyway 😊👍
 
I'm so down about this news 🙌! It's finally happening, you know? A governor speaking up for his state, not letting politics get in the way of doing what's right for his constituents. I've been saying it for ages, we need more people like Tim Walz who care about the little guy, not just the big business interests 🤑.

I'm not surprised Trump agreed to listen, though. He knows this is a PR win, and he can say "oh look, I'm listening to the states" 😒. But honestly, it's about time someone stood up for people who are being unfairly targeted by these immigration enforcement forces. It's like, come on guys, we're all human beings here 🤝!

I just hope this is the start of something bigger, and not just a token gesture 🙄. We need real change, not just lip service. Fingers crossed Walz follows through on his promises 💕!
 
I'm so glad to see some states taking a stand on this issue 🙏🌟. Reducing federal immigration enforcement forces operating in Minnesota could make a huge difference for many people living there, especially those who are already vulnerable and marginalized 🤝.

It's also super important that Governor Walz is having open and honest conversations with President Trump about this – it shows he's willing to listen and work together to find solutions 💬. Of course, we don't know what the outcome will be yet, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed that some progress can be made in the coming days 🤞.

As someone who's passionate about social justice and equality, I believe this is a crucial step towards creating a more compassionate and inclusive society ❤️. By reducing the presence of federal immigration enforcement forces, we can help prevent unnecessary harm and trauma to families and communities – it's time for us to prioritize people over politics 🌈
 
just heard about this news and gotta say, i'm all for giving minnesota a break 🤝 from those federal immigration enforcers... it's like, the state already has enough on its plate what with the lakes and the winters and all 😂. imagine having to worry about feds showing up at your doorstep unannounced? no thanks! anyway, i'm glad tim walz is taking a stand on this one 🙌. it's cool that trump agreed to consider it - now we just gotta see if they actually make some progress... or if it all gets swept under the rug like usual 😐.
