Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey warned fellow mayors at a US conference in Washington D.C. that their cities could be targeted by federal immigration agents if they don't publicly oppose President Trump's policies. Frey criticized the deployment of 3,000-4,000 federal agents to Minneapolis, calling it an "invasion" following the fatal shooting of a protester by ICE agents. He attributed the deployment to a "might makes right" philosophy championed by Stephen Miller. Frey stated that Minneapolis was previously safe with falling crime rates, but the deployment, dubbed "Operation Metro Surge," has created chaos and fear within the community. He cited the deaths of two residents and the detention of children as evidence of the operation's negative impact.
