Walter Hudson, a Minnesota state representative, posted several messages on October 4, 2025, addressing both community engagement and public safety concerns.

In one post at 21:30 UTC, Hudson shared his participation in a local event celebrating the Hmong community. He wrote, "Honored to attend the Vang Council of Minnesota’s 50th Anniversary celebration, recognizing half a century of the Hmong community’s invaluable contributions to our state. Thank you for the warm welcome and for sharing your rich culture and history. #MNleg https://t.co/c7f7xVBJh8".

Later that evening at 21:42 UTC, Hudson commented on issues related to crime and urban safety with a more critical tone toward current approaches. He stated, "Great way to appeal to business owners, workers, and tourists... just a bunch of 'assholes' who want to park and not get mugged or carjacked. https://t.co/4tdU39KSkj".

At 22:29 UTC the same day, Hudson addressed rhetoric around law enforcement strategies. He wrote, "Fighting crime by rounding up violent gang members, putting a dent in the average of 11 homicides per week - more than one per day - is 'fascism.' Got it. This is why, like calling us 'racist,' your rhetoric is quickly losing all flavor - like a well-chewed piece of gum. https://t.co/iKxgfQ18a5".

The Vang Council of Minnesota is an organization representing the interests of Hmong Americans in the state. The Hmong community has played a significant role in Minnesota since their arrival as refugees after the Vietnam War.

Minnesota has faced ongoing debates about public safety and crime rates in its urban areas. Elected officials such as Walter Hudson have used social media platforms to voice their opinions on these issues and engage with constituents.
