Local officials, including Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, criticized the federal explanation for the incident and rejected the officer’s claim that he acted in self-defense. Minnesota has since sued the Trump administration, claiming the state’s enforcement of immigrants is “illegal” and “unprecedented.”
“What we’re seeing right now is not normal immigration enforcement,” Frey said. “The scale is hugely disproportionate and it has nothing to do with keeping people safe.”
The Trump administration fiercely opposed the lawsuit, with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) accusing Minnesota leaders of undermining public safety and obstructing enforcement of federal laws.
