Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey Says City Police Will Not Cooperate with ICE, Starts Speaking Somalian
EXCERPT:
FREY: “I want our police officers keeping people safe. I want our police officers responding to violent crime. I want our police officers preventing homicides and carjackings and shootings from occurring in the first place. You know what I don't want them doing? I don't want our police officers spending a single second hunting the father down that just dropped his kids off at daycare who's about to go and work a 12-hour shift, who happens to be from Mogadishu or who happens to be from Ecuador. That man makes our city a better place. That man is a valued resident of our city and someone who we're proud to have him call Minneapolis and/or St. Paul home. (...) That's not American. That's not what we are about. We're going to do right by every single person in our cities. And so, to our Somali community. [speaks Somali].”
