President Donald Trump threatened to escalate the immigration surge in Minneapolis over the mayor's comments to his border czar Tom Homan.

The president dispatched Homan to the city following the fatal shooting of 37-year-old nurse Alex Pretti by immigration officers, but Democratic Mayor Jacob Frey reinforced that Minneapolis would not change its sanctuary policies as demanded by Trump administration officials.

“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,” Frey posted Tuesday afternoon on X. “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."

Hey Traitor, first and foremost you are sending a "guy" that bag money in the tune of $50,000.00 dollars............
Second and this is really important for you to understand.............your a lying POS.............every time you speak you lie........Mayor Frey said for your goons to get the fuck out of Minneapolis.............and I am sure he told you to go pound sand in no uncertain terms for you to understand............................

1. As a Minneapolis taxpayer I would happily to contribute to a $50K fund

to be paid to Homan in small bills and placed in a grocery sack in exchange for ICE getting the fuck out of here.

3. The Trump crime syndicate only accepts much larger bribes.

50K doesn't even cover Noem's plastic surgery, botox, and hair extensions.

2. They're going to escalate the operation? What, are they gonna start murdering the five-year-olds now?

4. Adding immigration to the police duties would create a need for...

a renegotiated contract for the police. After all, we would have expanded their responsibilities.

I would guess that some in the Minneapolis Police Department would love to get their fingers into immigration. I'm sure they would enjoy a heavier paycheck.

6. Right now MPD is understaffed by about 30%. It can barely keep up with the normal police stuff.

They don't usually respond to calls about property crimes at all; they just tell you to call the 311 line to make a report. It is simply not possible with current staffing for them to take on immigration enforcement duties on top of everything else.

7. Thank you

5. Escalation would escalate the turn of public opinion against trump. But I can't wish that on the people of Minnesota.
