CHAD WOLF, COOPER SMITH: Mayor Frey, ICE is not 'sowing chaos.' You are. Please resign

 Minneapolis Democratic Mayor Jacob Frey addresses the I.C.E.-involved shooting in the city.

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey—perhaps best known for fomenting Black Lives Matter riots and abandoning a police station to rioters in 2020—is using the tragic officer-involved shooting of a woman to reignite the same radical forces that led to such destruction just over five years ago.

"To ICE, get the f*** out of Minneapolis. We don’t want you here," said Frey this week, demonstrating the same reckless behavior that tragically helped destroy his city.

While this most recent statement was designed for social media clicks and attention-grabbing headlines, another made during the same press conference was even more irresponsible and detached from reality.

"They (ICE) are not here to cause safety in this city (…) they’re sowing chaos on our streets, and this case, quite literally killing people," Frey continued.

These are not the words of a serious person.

Such a statement, made mere hours after a shooting, is erroneous and ridiculously places all blame on law enforcement while investigations are ongoing. With Jacob Frey in power, the "Defund the Police" movement is alive and well.

The truth is, without Mayor Frey and Minnesota Governor
