Minnesota Governor Tim Walz has come under fire for comparing the fear experienced by immigrant children in Minnesota to the plight of Anne Frank during the Holocaust. Former Department of Homeland Security official Ken Cuccinelli called Walz's remarks 'disgusting' and accused him of using inflammatory language for political gain amid ongoing immigration enforcement operations in the state. The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum also condemned Walz's analogy as 'deeply offensive,' emphasizing that exploiting Holocaust history for political purposes is unacceptable, especially during a surge in antisemitic incidents. The controversy highlights heightened tensions around immigration and the sensitive use of Holocaust references in public discourse.
