"Fox News' Griff Jenkins pressed Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey (D) on calling ICE protesters heroes, arguing many of them are crossing a line in their demonstrations after an agent shot and killed a 37-year-old mother in the city. Frey joined Jenkins for an interview that aired on Fox & Friends on Wednesday morning, where they discussed the death of Renee Good, protests in Minneapolis, a lawsuit by the city to remove ICE, and an investigation into potentially billions of dollars of fraud in Minnesota."
"Some yelled, shame, while others blocked ICE vehicles. One woman blocked a vehicle and screamed at agents, You want to shoot me in the face?! Just look at some of the videos, Mayor Frey, that we have seen of these protesters, many of whom you have praised. You've called them heroes for being out there exercising their First Amendment rights, but they've gone farther. They're blocking their operations, Jenkins told Frey."
"So that's just a sampling of it, you're seeing it in real time. You are aware that 18 U.S. Code 111 makes it a federal crime to impede, interfere, or even assault officers and we see the protesters crossing a line of protesting, throwing rocks, hitting cars, and interfering in the federal government's view of their operation of our federal immigration law enforcement, Jenkins said."
Griff Jenkins pressed Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey (D) on calling ICE protesters heroes after an agent shot and killed a 37-year-old mother. Footage shows protesters confronting ICE agents, yelling "shame," blocking ICE vehicles, and at times screaming directly at agents. Jenkins argued some protesters crossed a line by impeding operations, throwing rocks, hitting cars and potentially violating 18 U.S. Code 111, which criminalizes interference with officers. Frey defended the demonstrators as standing up for their neighbors and said the majority on the streets are protesting peacefully. The city is pursuing a lawsuit to remove ICE while an investigation into potential billions in fraud continues.
