"Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey is warning that the Trump administration has crossed a "terrifying line" with its use of federal immigration enforcement agents to brutalize and abduct people in his city. In an interview with the New York Times published Saturday, Frey described operations that have taken place in his city as "marauding gangs of guys just walking down the street indiscriminately picking people up," likening it to a military "invasion.""
"Frey was also asked about Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz's comments from earlier in the week where he likened the administration's invasion of Minneapolis to the first battle that took place during the US Civil War in Fort Sumter. "That is wildly unconstitutional," Frey replied. "We should all be standing up and saying that's not OK. Literally, listen to what they're saying. Active threats like, Turn over the voter rolls or else, or we will continue to do what we're doing. That's something you can do in America now.""
Nurses raised alarms after a man received treatment for a shattered skull following an encounter with ICE agents. Demonstrators were confronted by police at a protest at the Whipple federal building organized by religious leaders calling for an end to ICE operations. Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey warned that federal immigration enforcement agents have crossed a "terrifying line," describing their actions as resembling "marauding gangs" and a military "invasion." Frey called an offer to withdraw forces in exchange for state voter registration records "wildly unconstitutional" and warned about active threats to demand voter rolls under threat of continued enforcement actions.
