Minnesota Democrats map a calculated defense as Trump’s immigration crackdown hits Minneapolis

Democratic Gov. Tim Walz, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, and Atty. Gen. Keith Ellison led a coordinated seven‑week effort to blunt Trump’s immigration crackdown in Minneapolis, using court battles, media strategy, back‑channel diplomacy, and National Guard planning while keeping city policies like the separation ordinance intact. The deaths of Renee Good and Alex Pretti at the hands of federal agents intensified pressure, but the officials worked to de‑escalate protests and avoid giving Trump a public win, a blueprint they say others blue cities are watching as they face similar federal crackdowns.
