"Taking to Truth Social on Wednesday, Trump reacted and called for someone in Frey's inner sanctum to explain the comment, writing: Surprisingly, Mayor Jacob Frey just stated that, Minneapolis does not, and will not, enforce Federal Immigration Laws. This is after having had a very good conversation with him. Could somebody in his inner sanctum please explain that this statement is a very serious violation of the Law, and that he is PLAYING WITH FIRE!"
"Frey clapped back an hour later, asserting that the job of the Minneapolis Police Department was to keep people safe and not hunting down a working dad from Ecuador. The job of our police is to keep people safe, not enforce fed immigration laws. I want them preventing homicides, not hunting down a working dad who contributes to MPLS & is from Ecuador. It's similar to the policy your guy Rudy had in NYC. Everyone should feel safe calling 911."
Mayor Jacob Frey refused to assist with a federal deportation push in Minneapolis and reiterated that the city will not enforce federal immigration laws. Frey emphasized that the Minneapolis Police Department should focus on keeping people safe and preventing homicides rather than pursuing working immigrants. President Donald Trump criticized Frey's stance on Truth Social, calling the statement a serious violation of the law and warning the mayor was "playing with fire." The exchange follows a meeting with federal officials, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, and two fatal shootings of U.S. citizens by federal immigration agents that spurred protests and scrutiny of ICE operations.
