Rep. Ilhan Omar and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey slammed the Trump administration's immigration enforcement activity in Minnesota on Friday.

"What we are witnessing right now is unprecedented. There is no modern precedent for this level of federal overreach, violence, lawlessness carried out in the name of immigration enforcement," Omar said.
"This is not routine enforcement. This is not about public safety. This is not even about immigration. This is about political retribution," she continued. "The president said it himself this week. It is increasingly clear that the entire purpose of these actions is to provoke chaos and fear in order to justify invoking the Insurrection Act and expand the president's ability to rain terror upon American cities who do not vote for him."
