Miami Launches Biometric Technology to Speed ​​Up Security Checks During Peak Season

  

Florida Representative Byron Donalds intensified his criticism of Minnesota Governor Tim Walz amid a political climate marked by controversy surrounding federal immigration operations in the state.

During a tense and direct exchange, Donalds openly questioned Walz's stance on the role of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The Republican congressman posed the fundamental question of whether it is ICE's responsibility to enforce immigration laws and deport undocumented immigrants in the United States. According to the transcript of their remarks, Walz responded with what Donalds described as an evasive statement: "Yes, Congressman, except..." which Donalds interpreted as a lack of clarity and firmness on the governor's part in upholding federal law.

Donalds emphatically affirmed that this responsibility does exist: “We have a responsibility to deport undocumented immigrants…,” further emphasizing his argument that, in his opinion, the previous administration misused border processes and allowed millions of people to enter the country illegally. For Donalds, these issues are not merely administrative but rather matters of security and respect for the law.

The congressman's criticism did not stop there. Donalds harshly rebuked Walz's public remarks about ICE agents, calling it “disgusting” and unfair that the governor used extremely harsh terms to refer to these officers. In the verbal confrontation, Donalds insisted that Walz was wrong and should offer a public apology to ICE agents for his comments, which, in his view, crossed a line by delegitimizing those responsible for enforcing immigration laws.

This confrontation comes amid a climate of high political tension in Minnesota, where ICE operations have been at the center of a national debate on immigration, fueled by media blunders, including law enforcement and respect for federal authority, especially after recent incidents that have provoked strong reactions and protests from leftists.
