Walter Hudson, a Minnesota state representative, posted a series of tweets on September 19, 2025, calling for legal and civil actions against organizations he perceives as threats to the United States. In his posts, Hudson expresses support for prosecuting, defunding, and dismantling such groups.

At 22:39 UTC, Hudson wrote: "Prosecute. Defund. Dismantle. This isn't hard."

A few minutes later, at 22:42 UTC, he expanded on his position by stating: "This is the way. It's utterly insane to grant or maintain legal status to organizations that say their mission is to dismantle the United States. On top of this, we also need civil rights investigations into entities like @UMNDuluth who fail to protect students from threats."

In a subsequent tweet at 22:47 UTC, Hudson responded to criticism by affirming his stance: "Back it? I'm actively encouraging it."

Walter Hudson has previously been vocal about issues concerning national security and student safety in higher education institutions. His reference to @UMNDuluth highlights ongoing debates about university responsibilities regarding campus safety and freedom of expression.
