Angie Craig and Tim Walz are anti-ICE, pro-sanctuary cities
A report from Fox News shows a resurfaced video of extreme Democrat Angie Craig standing right next to radical Tim Walz and applauding as he compared ICE raids to “terrorism in America.”
Later in the same speech, Walz defended sanctuary cities while Angie Craig continued to support him.
“It’s clear Angie Craig supports dangerous policies that are making Minnesota communities less safe while repeatedly voting for open borders and allowing illegal immigrants to vote. Craig is dangerous for Minnesota.” – NRCC Spokesman Mike Marinella

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz pushed the narrative in 2017 that ICE raids represent “terrorism” in America while reassuring a crowd that he supports sanctuary cities.
“This is still one of the most moving things for me a week after I was elected in 2006, that giant ICE raid happened in Worthington,” Then-Rep. Walz told the crowd of about 300 people at a town hall event in 2017 in Minnesota’s 2nd Congressional District which neighbors his district, MN-01.
“I drove out to Worthington as the congressman-elect, went into the basement of the Catholic Church where Father Brixius was, who asked me to look around at all the children crying, and he said, ‘This is what terrorism looks like in America today.’”
Walz, who was standing alongside Dem. Rep. Angie Craig, continued as the audience applauded.
“What I told them at that time is that I hold the voting card in my pocket, and the votes I will take will be to make sure we protect these folks,” Walz continued.
Walz was referring to a 2006 ICE raid as part of Operation Wagon Train that, according to ICE chief Julie L. Myers, saw ICE agents uncover a scheme in which illegal immigrants and others had stolen or bought the identities and Social Security numbers of possibly hundreds of U.S. citizens and lawful residents to get jobs at Swift Co. meat packing plants.
Later in the speech, Walz defended sanctuary cities through a story about an illegal immigrant who had been victimized in his district.
“I have a gentleman in the first district who was here and was on an exchange,” Walz said. “His visa expired. He stayed. He created a life here. He had no criminal record. He had 22 years, adding to our community, had a job. He did not have permanent legal status to be here. His two young daughters were assaulted. He went to the police to tell them, and he was arrested and deported. That’s not who we are.
“And so, when people try and tell you sanctuary cities are ways for people to violate laws, our police are serving us and protecting our communities — our citizens need to know that if they go to the police to report a crime either against themselves or someone else, that they’re going to be protected, to be able to do that, and our police don’t ask immigration status because it’s not their job to do that.”
Craig, currently running for re-election, did not push back against Walz’s comments and went on to discuss the need for comprehensive immigration reform.
