“…...We're going to be working toward justice as quickly as we possibly can right now. Justice is what we got to get," Frey said.

“…...We all know the agenda of this Trump administration is to create chaos. Let us respond right now with our best versions of self. This is a moment where all of us in Minneapolis and beyond, we can rise to the occasion," Frey added.

"We can show them who we are. We can show them the kind courage, bravery, love and compassion that makes Minneapolis, Minneapolis and makes America, America," he said. "We are better than a bunch of ICE agents being deployed to cities around the country and ripping apart families and communities. We're better than that. So we are going to meet that hate with love. We are going to meet that despair with hope. We are going to meet that injustice with constitutional justice ourselves and we're going to make sure that in this very difficult moment we do not take the bait that these ICE agents are trying to create and the federal government — to be clear — wants. They want us to respond in a way that creates a military occupation in our city. They want an excuse to come in and show the kind of force that will create more chaos and more despair. Let's not let them. Let's rise to this occasion”

The article then states that Minnesota State police will be investigating. I doubt that Gov Walz will let anyone ride free on this. And Atty General Keith Ellison is one tough cookie!
