Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers issued a memo to state staff on what they should do if they encounter ICE agents. It’s pretty standard language and is based on advice from the National Immigration Law Center:
However, MAGA Rep Toxic Tom Tiffany got his undies in a bundle over it and started running around like the proverbial Chicken Little, crying to every right wing radio squawker he could find that would give him the time of day and xitting all over himself on the dead bird app. Tiffany even went as far as threatening to tell Attorney General Pam Blondie. GOP Chair Brian Schimming, who is still hurting from losing yet another supreme court race, wasn’t any more mature:
U.S. Rep. Tom Tiffany, who represents northern Wisconsin and is considering a run for governor in 2026, said the memo amounts to “ordering state employees to block ICE from doing their job.”
“Wisconsin deserves better,” Tiffany posted on X. He copied U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi on his message.
Wisconsin Republican Party Chairman Brian Schimming called it an order to “impede justice.”
