Jan. 16, 2026, Fairfax, Va.—Americans for Limited Government Executive Director Robert Romano today issued the following statement urging Minnesota Democratic Governor Tim Walz and all governors to cooperate with federal immigration law enforcement efforts:
“The real constitutional crisis are sanctuary cities and states that actively encourage illegal aliens to become enrolled in public services, schools, health care — the works — as a magnet to expand their political power. Dangerously, they are encouraging their citizens to act as human shields for those illegal aliens, obstructing federal law enforcement efforts, now with deadly consequences. This is a national tragedy in the making. The Supremacy Clause of Article VI of the Constitution is very clear that all laws made pursuant to the Constitution are the supreme law of the land, including immigration laws. There is no nullification. Enough already. We already fought a Civil War over this. All cities and states, including Minneapolis and Minnesota, should be cooperating with federal authority.
“Instead, Minnesota Democratic Governor Tim Walz is repeatedly stating he is ‘at war with our federal government,’ when asked said he would use the National Guard to target ‘rogue federal agents’ and fantasizes he is winning ‘hearts and minds’ (quoting Field Marshall Gerald Templer) in his war against Washington, D.C. If states will not stop putting their own citizens in harm’s way and actively urging rebellion by joining groups like ICE Watch to obstruct immigration enforcement, President Donald Trump will be left with no choice but to invoke the Insurrection Act not just in Minnesota, but in all sanctuary cities and states, to restore constitutional federal authority. The President and Governor Walz should be speaking about how best to coordinate federal and state efforts to enforce immigration laws and to stop the fraud that is occurring. Yes, turn down the temperature. It’s not too late, but states must accept the Constitution and federal authority as a fact of life and finally bring an end to their fantastic, alternative political society where those laws don’t exist or maybe even where Trump isn’t president. No more sanctuary cities and states.”

President Donald Trump, Truth Social, Jan. 15, 2026: “If the corrupt politicians of Minnesota don’t obey the law and stop the professional agitators and insurrectionists from attacking the Patriots of I.C.E., who are only trying to do their job, I will institute the INSURRECTION ACT, which many Presidents have done before me, and quickly put an end to the travesty that is taking place in that once great State. Thank you for you attention to this matter! President DJT” https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/115899252938886431
