US EditionTrump says Minneapolis mayor is 'playing with fire' over immigration comments
Minneapolis will prioritize public safety over federal immigration enforcement amid a surge of 3,000 ICE agents and legal disputes over Operation Metro Surge, officials said.
- On Wednesday, President Donald Trump warned Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey he was playing with fire after Frey posted on X, `I also made it clear that Minneapolis does not and will not enforce federal immigration laws.`
- Two protesters, Renee Good and Alex Pretti, were shot and killed during ICE operations, prompting Mr. Trump to remove Greg Bovino and send Tom Homan to oversee Minneapolis.
- Legal analysts noted that courts have limited federal coercion of state and local authorities, as federal courts ruled the government cannot force cities to enforce immigration laws.
- Legal observers warn Mr. Trump's posts could strengthen Minnesota's legal arguments, as lower courts ruled against some tactics while the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit blocked restrictions on federal agents in Operation Metro Surge.
- Amid debate over de-escalation, critics say the administration's actions mostly shifted tone, and operation critics argue the president's messaging aims to coerce local policy changes rather than de-escalate.
