Abstract

The article focuses on Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey's response to Operation Metro Surge, a large-scale federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) crackdown involving around 3,000 agents deployed in the city. Amid rising community fear, protests, and economic impacts on immigrant-owned businesses, Frey navigates limited local authority and political pressures from both the federal government and progressive city residents. While advocating for deliberate resistance and maintaining Minneapolis as a sanctuary city, Frey faces criticism for not doing enough to counter ICE’s aggressive tactics. The situation highlights broader tensions between federal immigration enforcement and local governance in American cities.
