On Monday President Donald Trump revealed that he and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz had a good call and are on a “similar wavelength.”

“It was a very good call, and we, actually, seemed to be on a similar wavelength.”

During the press conference, Leavitt gave the media a preview of that plan saying it is Trump’s “hope and wish for the chaos to end today.”

Leavitt outlined a threepart plan that Trump has proposed for the state of Minnesota:

First, government officials would be required to turn over undocumented immigrants who are currently incarcerated in state or local jails and prisons to federal authorities, along with any individuals who have active warrants or known criminal histories for “immediate deportation.”

Second, state and local law enforcement agencies would be required to transfer undocumented immigrants who are arrested by local police.

Finally, local police would be required to assist federal authorities in locating, apprehending, and detaining undocumented immigrants who are wanted for crimes.

If Governor Walz and Mayor Frey implement these common sense cooperative measures, that I will add, have already been implemented in nearly every single other state across the country, customs and border patrol will not be needed to support ICE on the ground in Minnesota,” Leavitt said.
