Governor criticizes ICE and calls for Kristi Noem to resign after Minneapolis killing
Summary
In the briefing the governor criticized federal immigration enforcement actions linked to a killing in Minneapolis, alleged inadequate training of ICE personnel and called on South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem and federal officials to be held accountable.
The governor used the briefing to address a separate, highly publicized killing in Minneapolis and to criticize federal immigration enforcement practices. He said video and testimony raise concerns about ICE conduct and training, described recruitment practices that included large sign-on bonuses and limited training, and called for accountability from federal officials.
The governor singled out South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem, saying "Kristi Noem has got to go," and urged President Trump and congressional Republicans to "reign this in" and hold ICE accountable. He also criticized public statements by named officials and urged the public to review statements by the victim’s parents.
Those remarks were framed as the governor’s judgment of federal actions; no formal state actions, investigations or policy directives were announced during the briefing.
