Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey (D) almost lost his job to a Democrat Socialist, so he needs to prove to the Somali population that he is down with the cause and will protect Somalis from the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids being conducted through "Operation Metro Surge."
In early December, ICE officials announced they had arrested child sex offenders, domestic abusers, and violent gang members just a few days into Operation Metro Surge.
“Sanctuary policies and politicians like Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey allowed these pedophiles, domestic terrorists, and gang members to roam the streets and terrorize Americans,” said Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin. “ICE law enforcement are risking their lives to protect Minnesotans while their own elected officials sit by and do nothing. No matter when and where, ICE will find, arrest, and deport ALL criminal illegal aliens.”
Just as with Operation Midway Blitz in Illinois, the supposed residents of the city are marching in protest and doing their utmost to thwart the work ICE is attempting to do. Minnesota Governor Tim Walz (D), Frey, and the police chief have made it known that ICE is not welcome in Minnesota. The police had the gall to insist residents call 9-1-1 if an ICE agent attempted to apprehend them or come to their home.
These poor excuses for leadership have done everything short of kissing the hindparts of Democrat Rep. Ilhan Omar (MN-05) in order to prove their allegiance to Somalis and their resistance to the Trump agenda.
Frey went on MS NOW to declare this.
WATCH:
Then there is this embarrassing display, similar to 2020, where Frey kneeled and cried in front of George Floyd's golden casket. In the clip below, Frey tries to speak Somali in order to show he is one of them.
But at a press conference this week, Frey appeared to cross a line in his blind allegiance. He 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. Somebody is going to get seriously injured or killed.
Why did he choose to say this twice? And who does he refer to when he says, "somebody"? The Minneapolis activists? ICE agents? This is strangely cryptic, and in the current atmosphere could well be taken as a veiled threat. One wonders.
Frey continued his rant, claiming that the entire situation is becoming explosive.
And whether that is an ICE agent or a community member, we all know the tinder box that could explode because of it. We all know that the federal government is looking for reasons to deploy more and more people to Minneapolis and blue cities around the country. We all know that we cannot afford to lose a single Minneapolis resident because they showed up and decided to protect their neighbors. Because they showed up and decided to express their constitutional right to free speech.
WATCH:
Was this a cautionary warning, or a dog whistle? Frey's statement not only cemented the left's false narrative about Trump's immigration enforcement agenda, but it also supplied kindling for that tinder box he claims that his city currently is. The question is, who plans to light the match?
As we close out the year, with mass casualty incidents on the wind, it might be wise to keep an eye on Minneapolis.
