Washington DC - President Donald Trump has announced that he and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz are now working together to bring down tensions in the state.

In a Truth Social post shared on Monday, the president claimed that Walz called him "with the request to work together" as tensions remain high in Minnesota.

Trump described it as "a very good call," adding that they "seemed to be on a similar wavelength."

"I told Governor Walz that I would have [border czar] Tom Homan call him, and that what we are looking for any and all Criminals that they have in their possession," he wrote.

"The Governor, very respectfully, understood that, and I will be speaking to him in the near future."

Trump went on to claim that his administration has had "tremendous SUCCESS" in Minnesota as crime is "way down," and he and Walz want to "make it better!"

Last month, Trump deployed thousands of federal law enforcement agencies to the state to conduct aggressive immigration sweeps and to investigate claims of massive fraud by the state's government.

Trump has repeatedly accused Walz, without evidence, of orchestrating the fraud scheme.

The private call comes as the two politicians have been publicly feuding over ICE's invasion of Minnesota.

On Sunday, a day before the call, Walz gave a press conference in which he likened the deployment to Anne Frank's description of the Nazi occupation of Amsterdam.

Tensions have escalated in Minneapolis as protesters clash with federal agents, with recent altercations ending in civilian fatalities.

Several weeks ago, an ICE agent shot and killed US citizen Renee Good in her car, and over the weekend, another citizen, Alex Pretti, was assaulted and fatally shot by multiple Border Patrol officers.

In both instances, Trump and his administration have aggressively defended the officers and blocked attempts by Minnesota officials to conduct a proper investigation into the deadly incidents.
