Summary

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey discusses the fatal shooting of a woman by an ICE agent in his city and criticizes the Trump administration's response. Key points include:

The Incident & Federal Response
- Mayor Frey condemns the administration for creating a false narrative that contradicts clear video evidence, claiming the ICE agent acted in self-defense when footage shows the victim attempting to leave
- Federal officials, including Trump, falsely claimed the victim targeted or dragged the agent

Investigation Concerns
- Minnesota's Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA) has been excluded from the investigation, with only the FBI conducting the probe
- Frey expresses no confidence in a fair investigation given administration officials have already concluded the agent did nothing wrong
- The city is exploring state/local prosecution options as alternatives

Broader Context
- Frey argues ICE operations in Minneapolis lack proper training in constitutional law and de-escalation tactics
- He warns the administration may use predictable protests as a pretext to deploy military forces and escalate occupation
- The mayor emphasizes Minneapolis won't "take the bait" and will respond with peaceful protest while protecting First Amendment rights

Political Response
- Frey defends his statement telling ICE to "get the fuck out" of Minneapolis, noting the hypocrisy of Republican outrage given Trump's rhetoric
- He reports bipartisan concern from residents, including right-wing individuals who disagree with ICE's tactics
- Stresses this is a constitutional issue transcending party ideology

2. At thia point failure to arrest is due to a lack of will

They have the name and address. They just need a warrant and charges which wont be hard to get with all the video that is already out there. If nothing happens this is on Minneapolis and the state of Minnesota.
