Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Minneapolis Mayor Back in National Spotlight After Fatal ICE Shooting
Caption: Minneapolis Mayor Back in National Spotlight After Fatal ICE Shooting. Minneapolis has returned to the national spotlight after a federal immigration officer fatally shot 37-year-old Renee Good, triggering protests and political fallout .Mayor Jacob Frey sharply condemned the federal government, accusing the Department of Homeland Security of spreading “bullshit” and telling ICE to “get the fuck out of Minneapolis.” Frey vowed to pursue justice, saying the agent had recklessly abused power, and positioned himself in open confrontation with the Trump administration. The incident marks another defining crisis for Frey, who led the city during the 2020 killing of George Floyd and the nationwide protests that followed. Local leaders and civil rights advocates say Frey’s response reflects widespread anger in the city and has helped him regain support from progressive critics. Unlike past crises centered on local policing, this moment pits the mayor directly against federal immigration enforcement and presidential authority. The shooting has become a flashpoint for critics of aggressive immigration raids, with Minneapolis joining other major cities in open resistance. Tensions remain high as protests continue, schools are canceled for the week, and Minneapolis braces for further demonstrations.
