Holocaust Museum slams Tim Walz for comparison of ICE to Nazi horrors seen by Anne Frank

The US Holocaust Museum made a sharp rebuke against Minnesota Governor Tim Walz after he likened the efforts of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in Minnesota to the horrors that were seen by Anne Frank in the Nazi-occupied Nethertlands.

The museum posted on X, “Anne Frank was targeted and murdered solely because she was Jewish. Leaders making false equivalencies to her experience for political purposes is never acceptable. Despite tensions in Minneapolis, exploiting the Holocaust is deeply offensive, especially as antisemitism surges.”
