Jacob Frey says federal, local law enforcement 'are literally fighting one another,' blames Trump for 'creating chaos'

In the wake of a federal law enforcement shooting during the apprehension of a Venezuelan illegal immigrant on Thursday night in Minneapolis, Mayor Jacob Frey said in a press conference that locals are asking city police to "fight ICE agents on the street."

Frey said, "there’s still a lot that we don’t know at this time, but what I can tell you for certain is that this is not sustainable. This is an impossible situation that our city is presently being put in, and at the same time we are trying to find a way forward to keep people safe, to protect our neighbors, to maintain order."
 

"We cannot be at a place right now in America where we have two governmental entities that are literally fighting one another," Mayor Jacob Frey says, then says ICE is "creating chaos."
