US EditionSending Soldiers to Minneapolis for Immigration Crackdown Would Be Unconstitutional, Mayor Says
Mayor Frey opposes military use against residents amid 2,000 federal officers deployed for immigration enforcement in the Twin Cities, calling it unconstitutional.
- On Sunday, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey said sending active-duty U.S. soldiers to Minnesota for an immigration crackdown is unconstitutional and `ridiculous`, urging peaceful protests to avoid military response.
- Earlier this month, the Department of Homeland Security deployed more than 2,000 federal officers to the Twin Cities, prompting daily protests that passed the Jan. 7 site where Renee Good, a U.S. citizen and mother of three, was shot.
- The Pentagon ordered about 1,500 active-duty soldiers based in Alaska and two infantry battalions of the Army's 11th Airborne Division were given prepare-to-deploy orders, with troops standing by should President Donald Trump invoke the Insurrection Act.
- Gov. Tim Walz mobilized the Minnesota National Guard, though no units have deployed, and on Friday a federal judge barred immigration officers from detaining or tear-gassing peaceful protesters.
- U.S. postal workers marched on Sunday through a diverse Minneapolis neighborhood chanting `Protect our routes`, while letter carriers reported ICE breaking into buildings and tackling people.
