The mayor of Minneapolis has ordered U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents to leave the city.
Mayor Jacob Frey used explicit language in his directive, telling the federal officers to "get the f--- out of Minneapolis." The statement highlights ongoing tensions between some local governments and federal immigration authorities.
These jurisdictions, known as "sanctuary cities," often limit cooperation with ICE. The mayor's comments represent a sharp escalation in this political conflict.
The confrontation centers on different approaches to immigration enforcement. No immediate response from ICE was available.
