BREAKING: Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey responds to criticism of his comment that ICE should get the f*** out of Minneapolis after an agent fatally shot a woman dead. But Frey didn’t walk it back. Instead, he doubled down—issuing a sharp, provocative warning that many are interpreting as a direct challenge to Donald Trump, further fueling political tension and national outrage.

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey is pushing back against criticism after his blunt statement that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) should “get the f*** out of Minneapolis,” made in the aftermath of a fatal shooting involving an ICE agent.

The comment immediately ignited backlash from conservative leaders and law enforcement advocates, who accused the mayor of inflaming tensions.

Frey, however, showed no signs of retreating. In a follow-up response, he defended his remarks as a reflection of public anger and grief, arguing that federal immigration enforcement actions have eroded trust and endangered lives in the city.

The mayor went further, issuing a pointed warning widely seen as directed at former President Donald Trump, whose rhetoric and policies on immigration remain a flashpoint in national politics.

Frey warned against what he described as federal overreach and political intimidation, signaling Minneapolis would not back down.

The exchange has intensified an already volatile national debate over immigration enforcement, local authority, and political accountability, with Minneapolis once again at the center of a growing political storm.
