UPDATE: Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey After “Productive” Meeting with Tom Homan Says “Minneapolis Does Not and Will Not Enforce Federal Immigration Laws”

Today, Chief O'Hara and I met with Border Czar Homan and had a productive conversation. I reiterated that my main ask is for Operation Metro Surge to end as quickly as possible. Public safety works best when it's built on community trust, not tactics that create fear or division.

I shared with Mr. Homan the serious negative impacts this operation has had on Minneapolis and surrounding communities, as well as the strain it has placed on our local police officers.

I also made it clear that Minneapolis does not and will not enforce federal immigration laws, and that we will remain focused on keeping our neighbors and streets safe.

City leaders will continue to stay in conversation with Mr. Homan and his team.

Tim Walz also took a victory lap today, declaring that what he described as a "massive organized nonviolent resistance" forced the Trump Administration to back down, essentially declaring victory for the radical thugs rioting in the streets of Minnesota.

"There's a hint of hope and optimism, but there is a resolve that says, you know, the end of this is not Greg Bovino leaving," Walz continued, labeling ICE as an "unorganized, untrained, dangerous force on the streets that has nothing to do with either immigration or law enforcement."

"The end of this is a sane policy on how you do immigration reform and stop an attack by the federal government on the state."
