Federal Authority Undermined in Minneapolis Standoff
Liberty Check
Democrat officials in Minnesota continue to resist federal immigration enforcement, forcing a reduction in federal agents while keeping sanctuary policies intact. President Trump is withdrawing forces from Minneapolis after requests for stronger cooperation were met with vague assurances and little substance from city and state leaders.
Governor Tim Walz and Mayor Jacob Frey have refused to fully align with federal immigration laws, only offering minimal cooperation that does not address the underlying sanctuary city practices. Their public statements suggest compliance, but policies remain unchanged.
- Minneapolis Mayor Frey and Governor Walz only honor ICE detainers for convicted criminals in state prisons, not in local jails.
- The administration’s response falls short, as federal authorities leave while local officials maintain opposition to immigration law enforcement.
- Dissenting counties and the Attorney General’s memo further shield illegal immigrants from deportation through technicalities and delayed communication.
The law must be enforced consistently to uphold the principles America was founded upon. Constitutional conservatives cannot allow local defiance to set a dangerous precedent for the rest of the country.
The Constitution must be defended.
