Minnesota Governor Tim Walz’s 24-year-old daughter, Hope Walz, posted a TikTok video on Christmas Eve extending holiday wishes to those she described as being “terrorized” by Immigration and Customs Enforcement, generating swift and sharp criticism across social media platforms. In the video shared with her 500,000 followers, Hope stated, “I just wanted to say Merry Christmas to all our neighbors who have been terrorized by ICE,” alongside messages of support for unhoused individuals and others facing hardship.
The post prompted thousands of negative responses from social media users, with commenters accusing her of hypocrisy, questioning why she doesn’t personally house undocumented immigrants, and dismissing her message as “woke” activism. Hope’s Christmas message came just weeks after she took a break from social media in early December, citing “really scary” threats against her and her family following her criticism of President Trump’s rhetoric.
Meanwhile, Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker disclosed that he is already preparing for potential prosecution of ICE agents should Democrats regain congressional control, stating that his state has established an “Illinois accountability commission” to gather evidence for future accountability efforts. “We have an Illinois accountability commission that just had its first hearing today and that hearing was testimony, video, experts and we’re basically gathering evidence because we are going to hold these people accountable when we can,” Pritzker said in a recent interview.
Pritzker’s defiant stance reflects the escalating conflict between so called Democratic-led states and the Trump administration over immigration enforcement, with the governor having recently signed sweeping legislation restricting ICE operations near courthouses, hospitals, and daycare centers. The Justice Department has challenged Pritzker’s protections by filing a federal lawsuit arguing that Illinois’ sanctuary measures are unconstitutional and impede federal immigration enforcement authority. The conflict between Pritzker and the Trump administration intensified after Trump called for the governor’s imprisonment in October for allegedly failing to protect ICE officers during federal enforcement operations in Chicago.
