Noem Tells Tim Walz and Jacob Frey to ‘Grow Up’

January 11, 2026 · 11:53 am ET · Leave a Comment

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem on Sunday had a strong message to Minnesota officials as tensions simmer between the administration and state leaders: “Grow up,” Politico reports.

Noem called for Gov. Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey to “tone down the rhetoric” in the aftermath of the fatal shooting of Renee Good by an ICE officer.

Said Noem: “They’ve extremely politicized and inappropriately talked about this situation on the ground in their city. They’ve inflamed the public. They’ve encouraged the kind of destruction and violence that we’ve seen in Minneapolis these last several days.”
