Democrat Mayor Blasted for Vowing to Make Major City ‘Safe Haven’ for Illegal Immigrants

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey doubled down on his resistance to President Donald Trump and Border Czar Tom Homan’s immigration enforcement efforts today, vowing that his city will be a “safe haven” for illegal immigrants.

Speaking at a town hall with other Democrat leaders, including “Squad” member Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., Frey said: “I want all of you just to know exactly where we are as far as our neighbors go, Minneapolis will continue to be a safe haven for undocumented immigrants.”

“Regardless of who you are or where you come from, Minneapolis is a place where you should be proud to call home,” he continued.

Frey, a Democrat, has previously vowed not to cooperate with President Donald Trump’s immigration enforcement efforts, making him one of a slew of other blue city leaders across the country to take this stance.

In an earlier speech, Frey assured illegals that in accord with the city’s “separation ordinance,” Minneapolis police would not gather information about people’s immigration status and would not arrest anyone for being in the country illegally.
