Gov. Tim Walz's new book is partly inspired by ICE surge in Minnesota

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz is working on a book inspired in part by a massive immigration enforcement surge in Minneapolis-St. Paul earlier this year and the local pushback.

W.W. Norton & Company says “Good Neighbors” will be published next year.

Walz says Minnesotans showed compassion, courage and resilience during the events.

Walz became a national figure in 2024 after running with Vice President Kamala Harris in a losing presidential campaign against President Donald Trump.

Walz was a prominent critic of ICE’s actions, including fatal shootings.

Minnesota is suing the federal government, alleging ICE caused over $600 million in damages.
