Frey did not mince words when addressing the fatal shooting at a news conference earlier today, pushing back against ICE's assertion that it was an act of self-defence.
"Having seen the video myself, I wanna tell everybody directly, that is bulls--t," the mayor said.
Frey said there were dozens, if not hundreds, of ICE and federal officers there at the time.
"Having them there was only causing more chaos, having them there was only making a difficult situation even more problematic — and one that, yes, they created themselves," he said.
"There's little that I can say, again, that would make this situation better. But I do have a message for our community, for our city, and I have a message for ICE: get the f--k out of Minneapolis. We do not want you here."
A U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer shot and killed a woman in Minneapolis on Wednesday during an immigration crackdown, prompting the city's mayor to call for federal agents to leave the city.
Federal officials have claimed the shooting was an act of self-defence and that the woman "attempted to run them over and rammed them with her vehicle."
But Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey blasted that characterization and the federal deployment of more than 2,000 ICE officers in the Twin Cities, according to The Associated Press.
"They are not here to cause safety in this city. What they are doing is not to provide safety in America. What they are doing is causing chaos and distrust," Frey said.
