WINONA, Minn. — The influential State Senator Jeremy Miller offered to mediate growing tensions between President Trump and Minnesota’s state leadership. Miller faulted both sides citing a lack accountability.  Neither Trump nor Governor Tim Walz took up Miller’s offer, at least not immediately. In recent days Trump has beefed up his heavily armed deportation force in Minnesota, now 3,000 agents, and Walz activated the state’s National Guard.  Said Miller: “It’s clear that the current approach is not working.”

” I’m offering to sit down with President Trump and Governor Walz to discuss ideas, find areas of agreement, and ultimately come up with solutions to hold the fraudsters and criminals accountable without the turmoil. We need to figure out a way to do this while not negatively affecting the law-abiding Minnesotans who truly need and rely on government services.”

Miller: “There has been too much blaming and too many excuses, but no answers, no accountability, and definitely not enough cooperation. We can all speculate to the moon and back, I certainly have been, but at the end of the day, the state and federal government need to work together to hold the bad players accountable because it’s clear that the current approach is not working.”
