Mayor Frey and Minneapolis Police Chief O’Hara met with Border Czar Tom Homan this morning and had a productive conversation. Following the meeting, the mayor released the following statement:
"I appreciated the conversation the Chief and I had with Border Czar Homan. During our meeting, I reiterated that my main ask is for Operation Metro Surge to come to an end as quickly as possible. Public safety works best when it's built on community trust – not tactics that create fear or division.
I shared with Mr. Homan the serious negative impacts this operation has had on Minneapolis and surrounding communities, as well as the strain it has placed on our local police officers.
I also made it clear that Minneapolis does not and will not enforce federal immigration laws, and that we will remain focused on keeping our neighbors and streets safe.
City leaders will continue to stay in conversation with Mr. Homan and his team.”
