 Can America avoid another war in the streets, this time over federal enforcement of immigration law? Both Donald Trump and Governor Tim Walz have that opportunity.

After a second shooting involving an activist during Homeland Security’s Operation Metro Surge last week, tensions escalated and violent protests increased. This time, the president emphasized his determination to enforce federal law but put border czar Tom Homan in direct charge on Monday. 

Walz appears to have recognized this as an opening to dial down the tensions and the rhetoric. Trump announced that Walz called him shortly after Homan’s appointment and held “a very good call” to pledge his efforts to find ways to coordinate to resolve the conflict. 

This offers a good opportunity for peace. However, none of this would have happened had it not been for Minnesota’s “sanctuary” status. Had Walz followed most of the rest of the country and cooperated with federal law enforcement, these operations would not be necessary, and the peace would never have been threatened.
