Trump Accuses Minneapolis Mayor of "Serious" Legal Violation Amidst National and Global Turmoil
Washington, D.C. – President Donald Trump accused Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey of violating the law after Frey publicly stated that Minneapolis would not enforce federal immigration laws. The accusation came via Trump's Truth Social platform on Tuesday, where he wrote, "Could somebody in his inner sanctum please explain that this statement is a very serious violation of the Law, and that he is PLAYING WITH FIRE!" according to Time. Frey's statement, made on social media, reiterated his communication with White House border czar Tom Homan, stating that local officers would not participate in federal immigration enforcement.
The accusation against Frey occurred amidst a backdrop of national and international events. Tensions surrounding immigration were further inflamed by the killing of Alex Pretti by federal agents in Minneapolis, according to multiple news sources. In response, musician Ice-T reportedly altered his song "Cop Killer" to "ICE Killer" in protest, as reported by Variety.
Meanwhile, the FBI executed a court-authorized search of the Fulton County, Georgia election office, seeking records related to the 2020 election, which Trump narrowly lost and has since baselessly claimed was fraudulent, NPR News confirmed. This action followed a DOJ lawsuit against Fulton County for similar records and came after a Fulton County judge dismissed an election interference case against Trump and allies in November.
In other news, Mexico paused oil shipments to Cuba, citing supply fluctuations and sovereign choice amid U.S. pressure, according to Time. A U.S.-born five-year-old was mistakenly deported to Honduras with her mother, raising concerns about deportation policies. The Federal Reserve held interest rates steady while defending its independence from political influence. President Trump touted his "Trump Accounts" initiative to give newborns a financial stake in the future.
Internationally, protests erupted in Iran, where individuals injured during anti-government demonstrations avoided hospitals due to fear of arrest, seeking clandestine treatment amidst a crackdown by security forces, Variety reported.
The Supreme Court is also poised to rule on a case that will determine if only Republicans are allowed to gerrymander. Last month, the Supreme Courts Republican majority reinstated Texass Republican gerrymander after a lower federal court struck it down, according to Vox.
