Hennepin County Sheriff Dawanna Witt called out "highly irresponsible" rumors about an ICE raid in Minneapolis on Tuesday. Sheriff Witt says the "raid" was actually a criminal investigation, not an immigration enforcement action. Sheriff Witt also acknowledged the fear in the…
And for those of you tweeting in reckless disregard of the truth, I hope you realize you’re using—and increasing— people’s fears for your own political ends.
I know why the focus is on Mayor Frey, but if you believe in good faith that the action today was immigration related you should be equally mad at your Hennepin elected officials. That no one is sort of gives the game away.
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey is expected to finalize a deal Thursday afternoon to build an 8,000-seat amphitheater along the Mississippi River. kstp.com/kstp-news/top-…
After two days of mocking anyone who questioned the voting numbers at the Minneapolis city convention, our local leftists have suddenly pivoted to "Yeah, yeah, everyone knew the numbers were wrong, but we decided not to redo it"
Yes, Frey only dominated in 2021 because no one was tuned into the Minneapolis election at the time.
This is exactly what we were telling people on the floor, and lots of DeWayne supporters agreed. I hope this inspires all candidates to fight harder for our city. Frey can only win if the public isn’t engaged.
750+ delegates & upgraded alternates were there (probably more) at the time of the vote. Even several hours later at 9:20, there were still 699 dels/upgraded alts. It's ridiculous to claim that only 578 people tried to vote for the mayor's race.
JUST IN: @Jacob_Frey's campaign formally asked @MinnesotaDFL to throw out Saturday's @MinneapolisDFL endorsement of @OmarFatehMN. Their protest centers on the assertion that some delegates' ballots almost certainly weren't counted at Saturday's convention.
You had a couple hundred people - we don’t know how many, because nothing was being counted - who just took over the endorsement process for a bunch of races, in 30 minutes, and jammed them through at 9:15 PM on a Saturday. Hard to imagine a process that feels less democratic.
The reason it took so long is that the head teller (who resigned from the DFL last year as she was about to be banned for cheating) designed an electronic system that failed, she left, they took another 2 hours to count, then a vote tally was released with about 200 votes missing
Classy. The @OmarFatehMN campaign knows this isn't true. The mayor has consistently condemned Islamophobia, including last night, when he condemned Kirk's disgusting tweet. Anything to raise a few bucks, I suppose?
Senator Omar Fateh is a proud American who is running because, like me, he loves Minneapolis. I’m proud that Minneapolis is a place where he can run for mayor against me on his own merits — and that this kind of bigotry is widely rejected across our great city.
No serious mayor would commit to disciplining Chief O'Hara for something that never happened. The facts are clear — this wasn’t an immigration raid, and MPD was not involved in its execution. No chief will work for a mayor who misrepresents their conduct for political gain.
5 Minneapolis mayoral candidates say they’d discipline Chief O’Hara for his presence at a June 3 federal raid; Frey disagrees: startribune.com/minneapolis-ma…
being on this website feels like reading the thoughts of medieval children with lead poisoning
Ain’t no way. Sometimes wonder who looks into all these coincidences.
The FBI offers a reward of up to $50,000 for info leading to the arrest and conviction of Vance L. Boelter, suspected of shooting two Minnesota lawmakers and their spouses at their residences on June 14, 2025: fbi.gov/wanted/law-enf…
Can you just stick it up your ass for one day, DA? Hundreds of officers are engaged in a manhunt for a guy who assassinated someone many of us knew personally. Cops likely prevented much worse from happening by being heads up enough to go to Melissa’s house after Hoffman was shot
"Perceived meth" as Sen. Fateh would say
According to a criminal complaint, the feds seized 900 pounds of crystal meth (worth $25 mil) in those search warrants this month that people mistakenly thought was an ICE raid.
“If you think the world is selfish and rotten, go to the cemetery at Colleville-sur-Mer overlooking Omaha Beach. See what one group of men did for another on D-Day, June 6th, 1944.” — Andy Rooney
"Perceived raids" gives away the game here. Fateh knows that he's being disingenuous and dishonest when he says the city was "doing Trump's bidding."
That means Minneapolis is a “sanctuary” in name only. Coordination by the City of Minneapolis with Federal law enforcement to participate in raids or perceived raids in our communities is unacceptable under any administration. There are safer ways to execute valid warrants.
The folks in W9 adjourned the convention early to deprive a candidate they don’t agree with the opportunity to speak. Are we still the party of Democracy or was that just kind of a bit?
random speeches were happening after this and i’m told the convention was adjourned before mayor frey could speak. he was in the parking lot
Just absolutely psychotic that Democrats killed this bill
Minneapolis is making real progress —MPD’s ranks are growing and we've launched comprehensive solutions like 24/7 mental health responders. Your support for defunding the police would've jeopardized this progress. Our city needs steady leadership, not slogans.
Mayor Frey has full control over MPD and is responsible for its repeated failures. We need a new Mayor with a plan for a diversified safety response. Help us raise another $1K today and bring our shared vision for public safety to City Hall. fatehformayor.com/donate
More or less proud than endorsement #1? x.com/MYDFL/status/1…
MYDFL is proud to endorse @OmarFatehMN for Mayor of Minneapolis. He’s running for mayor because Minneapolis deserves leadership rooted in community, committed to economic justice, and unafraid to challenge the status quo. Learn more and get involved at fatehformayor.com
