\n In the moments after Renee Good was killed by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey issued a combative message. \u201cTo ICE, get the fuck out of Minneapolis,\u201d he said.\n <\/p>\n
\n A little more than two weeks later, as Frey responded to another killing of a Minneapolis resident by federal agents, he was similarly defiant.\n <\/p>\n
\n This time, even as he pleaded with President Donald Trump to \u201cact like a leader,\u201d Frey also aimed his message at the American public.\n <\/p>\n
\n \u201cTo everyone listening: Stand with Minneapolis. Stand up for America,\u201d Frey said at a news conference today.\n <\/p>\n
\n \u201cRecognize that your children will ask you what side you were on. Your grandchildren will ask what you did to act to prevent this from happening again.\u201d\n <\/p>\n
\n Frey, a 44-year-old third-term Democratic mayor who represents the moderate wing of the party in the overwhelmingly blue city where progressives control the council, rocketed into the national spotlight<\/a> with his response to Good\u2019s killing.\n <\/p>\n \n The Trump administration and Republicans have sought to focus the blame for weeks of conflicts between ICE agents and those protesting their presence in the Twin Cities on local Democratic leaders and on the actions of protesters.\n <\/p>\n \n \u201cI\u2019m done being told that our community members are responsible for the vitriol in our streets. I\u2019m done being told that our local elected officials are solely responsible for turning down the temperature,\u201d he said.\n <\/p>\n
