President Donald Trump threatened to escalate the immigration surge in Minneapolis over the mayor's comments to his border czar Tom Homan.
The president dispatched Homan to the city following the fatal shooting of 37-year-old nurse Alex Pretti by immigration officers, but Democratic Mayor Jacob Frey reinforced that Minneapolis would not change its sanctuary policies as demanded by Trump administration officials.
I shared with Mr. Homan the serious negative impacts this operation has had on Minneapolis and surrounding communities, as well as the strain it has placed on our local police officers, Frey posted Tuesday afternoon on X. I also made it clear that Minneapolis does not and will not enforce federal immigration laws, and that we will remain focused on keeping our neighbors and streets safe."

I would guess that some in the Minneapolis Police Department would love to get their fingers into immigration. I'm sure they would enjoy a heavier paycheck.
