I am yet convinced that he was not of this world.

So I would fully expect, and we are preparing for, an influx of more agents, more of the very visible public theatrics of the raids, of the harassments.

And you've got faith leaders here.

I would not put it past this administration to target midnight mass services amongst folks going to worship.

And we're in a position right now where we have residents that are asking the very limited number of police officers that we have to fight ICE agents on the street, to stand by their neighbors.

This whole dynamic is deeply concerning because supposedly they would be coming for me and targeting me.

I mean, look, you can go through whatever rhetorical flourish you want, but when you have 3,000 ICE agents and border control come to the city, when you've got this supposed threat of 1,500 military coming to the city, yeah, that's very much what it feels like.

When you outnumber local police officers five and six to one,

That is the vibe.

And so the bottom line is, if the goal were safety, this is not how you get there.

If the goal is safety, I can give you a very antidote to some of the violence that we're seeing.

It's have them leave.

To ICE, get the fuck out of Minneapolis.

We do not want you here.

I've seen conduct from ICE that is disgusting and is intolerable.

If it were your city, it would be unacceptable there too.

We have not received any official anything at this point.

And so I can't comment on what I don't know about.

That being said, this whole dynamic is deeply concerning because supposedly they would be coming for me and targeting me.

for something that is core and critical to my job as mayor, and that is speaking for my residents and my constituents, that we are at a place right now where the Department of Justice or the federal government could be coming after senators and governors and mayors simply for speaking for their respective constituencies and disagreeing with this federal administration.
