Wisconsin Governor Evers Defends Immigration Guidance Amid Arrest Threats

Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers publicly rejected threats from President Trump's border advisor, Tom Homan, who suggested Evers could be arrested over his administration's guidance to state employees on how to interact with federal immigration agents. The guidance instructs employees to remain calm, consult with legal counsel, and refrain from sharing information or answering questions from ICE agents without a lawyer present. Evers emphasized that the memo aimed to ensure employees complied with the law and paralleled guidance issued in other states and by advocacy groups. Republican critics accused Evers of encouraging non-cooperation with federal agents, a claim he strongly denied, labeling the controversy as misinformation spread by right-wing allies. Evers stated he has not broken any laws and remains committed to doing what he believes is right, despite the threats and political pressure. The episode highlights ongoing tensions between state and federal authorities over immigration enforcement and the spread of politically motivated misinformation.
