Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey is just one Democrat, but he’s emblematic of a larger problem within his political party related to putting the interests of criminal illegal immigrants over American citizens, something we’ve repeatedly seen him do over the course of his time in public office.
As RedState reported, Frey has even gone so far as to routinely address the Somalians in Minnesota in their own language (as he did in his November reelection victory speech), fly their flag, gulp down food he clearly didn’t enjoy, and reassure them that he was on their side amid allegations (and in some cases, convictions) of widespread fraud among members of the tight-knit Somali community.
More recently, Frey shared a slickly produced video of himself pandering to the illegal immigrants in the Hispanic community during an appearance on a Hispanic radio program, where he spoke Spanish part of the time, hugged and held hands, and boasted about how the Minneapolis police department did not cooperate with ICE on immigration sweeps. For some reason, he ended up deleting the video from X, but we snagged it.

As we’ve also documented, the reaction from Minnesota Democrats to Sunday’s anti-ICE church invasion in St. Paul has been practically non-existent, outside of a belated, brief written statement issued by Gov. Tim Walz’s office (not Walz himself) over 24 hours after the disgusting incident.
But now, at long last, Frey has finally issued a statement on what happened at the church. And it wasn’t to condemn their actions, but to criticize the DOJ for arresting some of the alleged perps, including alleged organizer Nekima Levy Armstrong:
This is a gross abuse of power. The federal government is picking and choosing who to investigate – going after protestors and not the person who shot and killed one of our neighbors. I am calling for Nekima to be released immediately. https://t.co/HD1LGlPGv4

Incredibly, in another video, Frey boasted about what Minnesota was doing to “support our immigrant neighbors,” which included information systems that essentially are designed to help criminal illegals avoid detection by ICE:
Minneapolis stands up for its neighbors. From legal resources and signage, to lawsuits and providing meals – we’re making sure our community feels support and love. And we’ll keep doing just that. pic.twitter.com/vfzjLrW6b1

Frey was immediately blasted on X:
This is the first time Jacob Frey has commented on a church being stormed by anti-ICE psychopaths.
Not to condemn a church service being disrupted– but to condemn the Trump admin for holding the people who did it accountable. https://t.co/5R9htMgF7z

And probably the most astute comment came from someone who reminded Frey that the people sitting in that church on Sunday whose children were terrified by what happened were members of his community, too. What about supporting them?
The people of that congregation are your neighbors, too.

And the spirit animal for a lot of frustrated Americans right now also weighed in:
Democrats don’t expect any consequences for their crimes. They expect Republicans to be spineless cowards as they openly attack our churches, indoctrinate our kids and destroy our country. No more. We must fight to win! We must win otherwise we will not survive. https://t.co/AkuPd13P6w

Frey excusing violence against ICE agents while decrying the arrest of agitators who forcibly interrupted a church worship service is yet another reminder about why the Trump administration surging DHS resources to Minnesota was critically important.
