In a typically absurd rant, Minnesota Democratic Gov. Tim Walz demanded the federal government “pay for what they broke” following Border Czar Tom Homan’s February 12, 2026, announcement ending Operation Metro Surge, a major immigration enforcement operation in Minnesota.
Continuing his bizarre rant, Walz described the federal presence as causing “deep damage,” “generational trauma,” economic ruin, and leaving unanswered questions about missing children and the deaths of violent anti-ICE rioters.
