Former President Barack Obama issued a warning on Wednesday about federal actions in Minnesota, accusing the current administration of deploying tactics that endanger core civil liberties nationwide.

In a statement shared via X on Wednesday Obama highlighted growing public backlash, “More and more Americans are voicing their outrage at the tactics being deployed by federal agents in Minnesota.”

He urged a deeper look at the stakes involved, stating, “But it’s important to understand the broader implications of what this administration is doing, and the threat it poses to the basic freedoms of every American.”

The comments come amid escalating tensions over reported federal operations in the state, which critics have decried as overreach.

Obama’s intervention adds fuel to a national debate on government authority, drawing swift reactions from both sides of the aisle.
