Thursday on MS NOW’s “All In,” Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey (D) said the city has “lawsuits that have been filed on behalf of the hundreds, if not thousands of people that have had their constitutional rights stripped away from them” by the Trump administration during their immigration enforcement surge.
Host Chris Hayes said, “There’s an enormous amount of damage and havoc to your city. There’s two people who are dead.”
He asked, “What does accountability look like?”
Frey said, “Accountability needs to come through the justice system that we have in place. We have preemptive lawsuits that have been filed, response of lawsuits that have been filed, lawsuits that have been filed on behalf of the hundreds, if not thousands of people that have had their constitutional rights stripped away from them. And so, yes, of course, we want to see accountability in our city for the people who have been harmed.”
“And importantly, we don’t want Minneapolis just to be a stop along the route to the next location that has this extraordinary invasion that comes into their city and damages the economy, hurts the morale and the public welfare,” he added. “And so, you know, it’s it’s my goal. It’s our goal right now, to say that Minneapolis stopped this from happening again. We stood up for the endurance of our republic.”
