Trump just tanked his own legal case in Minneapolis with new social media rant: reporter

On Wednesday morning, the president took to his Truth Social platform to slam Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, with whom he claims to have had a productive conversation days before, but now isn't striking the tone he wanted.

"Surprisingly, Mayor Jacob Frey just stated that, 'Minneapolis does not, and will not, enforce Federal Immigration Laws,'" wrote the president. "This is after having had a very good conversation with him. 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!"

The problem for Trump, wrote Politico's Kyle Cheney, is that the Trump administration is currently smack-dab in the middle of a federal court battle with the state of Minnesota, which alleges "Operation Metro Surge" is not a legitimate immigration enforcement push, but an effort to deliberately cause chaos in the state to coerce local officials into changing local policies they don't agree with. Trump's words here, Cheney wrote, could be strong evidence for the state's case.

"Trump could not have designed a better statement to convince Judge Menendez that Operation Metro Surge is meant to coerce policy changes," wrote Cheney. "Courts have ruled repeatedly that the Fed govt cannot coerce states to enforce federal law. Nor is it illegal for states to decline to do so."

He never could keep his mouth shut

4. He can never get out of his own way

5. He's always tripping over his own

tie.

2. Shouldn't that convicted felon be in jail?

3. Hell yes!

6. "So unfair."

The truth is that way to crooks.

7. Somebody is throwing ANOTHER tantrum because a governor, a mayor, and the good people of a city

will not 'respect my a-thor-a-tea!" as he stomps his swollen little cartoon character feet.

Betting that, like he told ICE Maiden Noem what to say re the shootings, Stephen Miller is telling his puppet Trump to make a fuss and divert attention, again.

8. That's the problem with habitual liars

eventually their lies fight each other.

9. He used to be ugly. He still is ugly but he used to be ugly too.

10. That picture shows why I call him Orange Anus Mouth.

He's ugly inside and out.

11. Trump wants chaos and violence. He sends in ICE and hopes for violence so he can send in more thugs.

And he's hoping the violence galvanizes his base heading into the 2026 election.

[sheshe2]

16. I agree that it is what he wants...

however, I don't think that is going to be happening no matter what he/they do to spin it. There are cameras and eyewitnesses on them every step if the way. They have tried to rewrite what we have seen with our own eyes. The cameras are not the ones that are lying here.

WE SAW GOOD SHOT IN THE FACE WHILE MANUVERING AWAY AND PRETTI SHOT IN THE BACK. HE WAS SHOT NOT ONCE. NOT TWICE. TEN TIMES!

Their crimes? Protesting nonviolently.

12. Keep digging, dumbo, keep digging

[iemanja]

14. The problem isn't Judge Menendez

It's the 8th Circuit Court of Appeals.

[ChicagoTeamster]

15. The Supreme Court already ruled state and local LE can't be forced to enforce federal law

And ICE has not obtained warrants and 70% of ICE detainees have no criminal background. Trump said they were going into crime ridden cities and his ICE haven’t gone into any gang neighborhoods or arrested any known American criminals. Just brown people who were mostly legal under the pretense that they might not be but ICE didn’t know in advance.
