President Donald Trump said Monday that he spoke by phone with Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey (D), describing it as a “very good” conversation and adding that Frey would be meeting with border czar Tom Homan on Tuesday. “Lots of progress is being made!” Trump wrote on social media.
In the call — which came hours after Trump spoke with Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) — Frey said he continued to press Trump to end Operation Metro Surge. “The president agreed the present situation can’t continue,” Frey wrote on X.
Frey said some federal agents would begin leaving Minneapolis on Tuesday and that he would continue pushing for a full withdrawal. He added that the city would cooperate with state and federal authorities on criminal investigations, but not “in unconstitutional arrests of our neighbors or enforce federal immigration law.”
