Frey won his third term against the so-called "Mamdani of Minneapolis," Omar Fateh, and was ridiculed for speaking in the native Somali language during his victory speech. The following month, Frey used his retained authority to issue an executive order prohibiting the use of city property, such as parking lots, for immigration operations.
Earlier last year, Frey doubled down on his resistance to the Trump administration's immigration enforcement efforts with a vow that his city will be a "safe haven" for illegal immigrants. In earlier comments, Frey also assured illegals that in line with the city’s "separation ordinance," Minneapolis police would not gather information about people’s immigration status and would not arrest anyone for being in the country illegally.

"Go home Jacob, go home," the demonstrators yelled at the mayor, as others booed and chanted "Shame, shame, shame."
Other video showed Frey being interrogated by protest leaders about whether he would support abolishing or defunding the police. He said at the time that he has "been coming to grips with [his] own brokenness in this situation" and promised to revamp "a systemic racist system."
