Jacob Frey

Jacob Frey is the mayor of Minneapolis. He is currently newsworthy due to his outspoken opposition to the Trump administration's immigration enforcement policies and the increased presence of federal immigration agents in Minneapolis. Recent events include the deployment of 'Operation Metro Surge,' resulting in mass detentions and protests, and the fatal shootings of two US citizens by immigration officers. Frey has warned other mayors that their cities could be targeted next if they don't speak out against Trump's actions, accusing the administration of an "invasion." Despite Trump's vow to de-escalate, Frey remains skeptical. The situation is further complicated by a civil rights investigation into the shooting of Alex Pretti and an attack on Congresswoman Ilhan Omar during a town hall where she advocated for abolishing ICE, highlighting the tense political climate in Minneapolis.
