Minneapolis mayor announces city will not cooperate with Trump's deportation policy

2025-01-30

That’s nice, dear. That just means your nearby ordinary illegals will be picked up along with the DHS targets. But it’s your choice — and there’s always the thrill of wondering whether Border Czar Tom Homan really will prosecute, as he’s threatened…

[FoxNews] Over 1,200 illegal immigrants charged with crimes have been detained by federal officers.

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey announced Tuesday that he would not cooperate with federal law enforcement officers on deportations of illegal immigrants.

Over the first weekend of President Donald Trump’s second term, federal agents from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and their partners conducted nationwide roundups of more than 1,200 illegal immigrants who were charged with or convicted of committing crimes on American soil.

"I want to speak directly to people who are undocumented: we love you. We care about you," Frey, a Democrat, said at a press conference. "In the city of Minneapolis, we will stand up for you and we will do anything in our power to help because you're not an alien; in our city, you're a neighbor."

"Now, in Minneapolis we have what is called a separation ordinance," Frey continued, explaining his legal strategy to avoid deportations. "And that separation ordinance states clearly that our city officials, our police officers and beyond will not be gathering information showing who is and is not documented."

"We do not ask the question with regards to immigration status and, because we haven't asked the question, we don't have any data to show documentation status in our city," the mayor said.

"Our police officers will not be cooperating with federal law enforcement around federal immigration law. We enforce state and local laws here in Minneapolis, and we will do so to the best of our ability. But as for cooperation with ICE, the answer is no," Frey said.

That sounds dreadfully clever.

#2 Make him put it in writing, which is evidence at a later trial! Blowhards like him will say anything but tend to fold like wet paper when they have to do anything.
