‘Stop This Mass Invasion’: Mayor Frey Blasts ICE Operation in Minneapolis

For the last few weeks, Minneapolis has been the epicenter of
President Trump’s aggressive immigration crackdown, but tensions
between residents and the administration exploded after an
Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent shot and killed Renee
Good earlier this month. And after the killing of Alexander Pretti
by federal agents on Saturday, it's safe to assume the situation
will only get worse. Approximately 3,000 ICE and Border Patrol
agents have deployed to the metro area. Roughly the same number of
people have been arrested. And the Justice Department has issued
grand jury subpoenas to a handful of local elected Democratic
officials, including Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey. Kara and
Mayor Frey talk about why he thinks the DOJ’s subpoenas are about
politics, not public safety; what his office is telling the local
immigrant community; and why he doesn’t agree with calls to
"abolish ICE." They also talk about Trump’s threats to use the
Insurrection Act against protesters, and why he thinks everyone —
even Republicans — should be outraged about what’s happening in
Minneapolis right now. This interview was recorded on
Thursday, January 22nd. Questions? Comments? Email us at
