A brief excerpt -
Gov. Tim Walz says President Donald Trump’s federal immigration enforcement is targeting people of color in Minnesota, including U.S. citizens, and he’s warning that there could be a surge of ICE agents in the state over the next two weeks.
“It’s pretty clear to all of us exactly what this president is doing. He’s targeting states and communities that he has a national political fight against and that he doesn’t agree with,” Walz said. “It’s also a distraction from his own personal crimes that are out there being investigated while he’s harassing others.”
Walz said the Trump administration is not sharing any information with the state about this month’s “Operation Metro Surge” but he said he was expecting an increase as early as Christmas Eve.
“I would not put it past this administration to target midnight Mass services,” Walz said. “It makes it especially cruel. It makes it especially mean-spirited. It makes it especially traumatizing for communities that wish to gather to celebrate in their faith.”
Mayor Frey is fully in agreement -
“Minneapolis is ready to partner to keep people safe, but that is not the case with this federal administration right now,” Frey said. “I am increasingly concerned because of the chaos that is being caused by these ICE agents that somebody is going to get seriously injured or killed.”
Mayor Carter -
“Our biggest opponent is our own weaponized federal government, who says ‘Put America first’ but arrest American citizens, who says this is about ending violent crime, and goes and arrests workers on their way to work, who says that we care about you and we care for you, and then goes and separates families from their children,” Carter said.
