Democratic U.S. Sen. Tammy Baldwin says U.S. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem “needs to be fired or resign” following the fatal shooting of two Minnesota residents by federal immigration agents.

Tom Tiffany said the blame lays at the feet of Democratic leaders, including Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, who don’t cooperate with immigration enforcement efforts.

People across the state gathered Sunday to protest the fatal shooting of a former Wisconsin man by federal immigration officials in Minneapolis.

U.S. House Rep. Derrick Van Orden indicated Gov. Walz played a role in the death of Pretti in response to a post that said Minnesota officials are fueling tensions with ICE.

The ordinance states that law enforcement agencies must have prior authorization to use parks or parkways as staging areas.

In the first 10 months of 2025, ICE arrested nearly 1000 people in Wisconsin — an almost 25 percent increase from all 2024 arrests. Meanwhile, immigrants in Wisconsin say they are feeling more afraid than ever.

Western Wisconsin residents are following the protests and clashes in Minneapolis-St. Paul over federal immigration enforcement actions with concern.
