Overview
- In a Fox & Friends exchange, Mayor Jacob Frey reiterated that many protesters are "heroes" following the fatal shooting of 37-year-old Renee Good by an ICE agent.
- Frey said most demonstrations have been peaceful and accused ICE of unconstitutional conduct, while aired footage showed some protesters blocking vehicles and confronting agents.
- Host Griff Jenkins referenced 18 U.S.C. 111 and argued that certain actions seen in the videos impeded federal officers as he pressed Frey on enforcement and safety.
- Questioning the focus of the operation, Frey asked why a large ICE surge is in Minnesota rather than states like Texas or Florida and noted Minneapolis is suing to limit ICE’s presence.
- Frey raised doubts about the underlying fraud investigation, pointing to abrupt departures of Justice Department lawyers who had been handling the cases.
