Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey says President Donald Trump is wrong and told Vineeta Sawkar on the WCCO Morning News says that it would be against Minnesota state law, and is also a violation of a separation ordinance between the city and the federal government.
“Look, I’m the mayor of this city and my responsibility is to make sure that people are safe and I want our officers, I want them stopping violent crime,” Frey explains. “I don’t want our officers spending a single second assisting someone who’s undocumented, and that’s the only issue.”
Mayor Frey says that the Minneapolis police department has more important things to do and adding immigration enforcement duties would be unsafe for the city.
“I’ll just ask kind of the, the basic question like what’s more dangerous? A serial killer who’s on the loose or a guy that’s just dropping his kids off at school and then going to work a landscaping job? There are more important things that we need our officers to do and we’re able to prioritize that,” Frey said.
