Frey was then seen on video hugging a man sitting next to him at the table, saying, "You've got a lot of people that care about you. You're brave and you're tough."
He was also seen grabbing the man's hand and putting his arm around him during the videotaped discussion. Frey initially started the video speaking Spanish, but then appeared to switch to using his phone to translate the conversation.
The video was posted less than a day after a federal probe was launched into his alleged impeding of law enforcement efforts. (Jamie Vera/Fox News)

"When the federal gov weaponizes its power to intimidate local leaders for doing their jobs, every American should be concerned," Frey wrote in an X post Tuesday. "We shouldn’t live in a country where federal law enforcement is used to play politics or crack down on local voices they disagree with."
"In Minneapolis, we won't be afraid," Frey continued. "We know the difference between right and wrong and, as Mayor, I'll continue doing the job I was elected to do: keeping our community safe and standing up for our values."
