Minneapolis Mayor Stares Down ICE as Trump Pushes Ahead

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey publicly told ICE to leave his city as President Trump intensifies the immigration crackdown, planning more agents in Minnesota and even threatening to invoke the Insurrection Act. Frey and Minnesota officials have sued over alleged warrantless arrests and excessive force, elevating Frey as a national voice opposing federal tactics. Polls show mixed public sentiment on the crackdown and questions about safety, while Frey says he’s drawing on Floyd-era crisis leadership and remains focused on local governance rather than seeking higher office.
