Minneapolis Mayor Denounces Military Aid to ICE as Unconstitutional
TL;DR
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey called the idea of sending active‑duty soldiers to Minnesota to aid an ICE crackdown “completely unconstitutional,” urging peaceful protests as DHS ramps up immigration enforcement in the Twin Cities; federal troops could be deployed under the Insurrection Act, with roughly 1,500 soldiers on standby and the Minnesota National Guard mobilized by Gov. Walz, though no deployment has occurred, while some hotels housing ICE personnel have temporarily closed and a federal judge limited detention or tear gas of peaceful protesters.
