Frey said in his own statement that, "Minneapolis may be where we’ve seen one of the largest ICE deployments in the country, but it will not be the last if we fail to act."
Homan said Thursday morning that the Trump administration is working on a "drawdown plan" to decrease the presence of federal agents in Minnesota.
In a Truth Social post on Wednesday, President Donald Trump said, "Surprisingly, Mayor Jacob Frey just stated that, ‘Minneapolis does not, and will not, enforce Federal Immigration Laws.’ This is after having had a very good conversation with him."
"Could somebody in his inner sanctum please explain that this statement is a very serious violation of the Law, and that he is PLAYING WITH FIRE!" Trump warned.
