Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey released a statement following his meeting with Border Czar Tom Homan on Tuesday, doubling down on Minneapolis’s sanctuary city policies.
Frey, who previously told ICE to “get the f*ck out of Minneapolis,” described the conversation as “productive,” noting that he wants the Trump Administration’s Operation Metro Surge “to end as quickly as possible.”
“I shared with Mr. Homan the serious negative impacts this operation has had on Minneapolis and surrounding communities, as well as the strain it has placed on our local police officers,” Frey said.
“I also made it clear that Minneapolis does not and will not enforce federal immigration laws, and that we will remain focused on keeping our neighbors and streets safe.”
This comes after Trump went off on the chaos in Minneapolis on Sunday with a list of demands for Tim Walz, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, and democratic Mayors and governors across the country. Among his demands was “Local Police must assist Federal Law Enforcement in apprehending and detaining Illegal Aliens who are wanted for Crimes.”
“American Cities should be Safe Sanctuaries for Law Abiding American Citizens ONLY, not Illegal Alien Criminals who broke our Nation’s Laws,” Trump said.
Trump further called for Congress to “immediately pass Legislation to END Sanctuary Cities, which is the root cause of all of these problems.”
But Frey apparently isn’t listening.
Frey says city leaders will remain in contact with Homan.
