"Vice President JD Vance has absurdly complained that agents for ICE and other agencies don't "feel safe" calling 911 as they raid the streets of American cities, apparently shooting and killing people at will. In a post on social media Wednesday, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey reiterated the city's position that the role of police is not to enforce immigration laws or "hunting down a working dad who contributes to [Minneapolis] and is from Ecuador.""
"'It's similar to the policy your guy Rudy [Giuliani] had in NYC. Everyone should feel safe calling 911,' Frey said, referring to Giuliani's policies to help protect undocumented immigrants as mayor of New York City in the 1990s and early 2000s, including upholding his predecessor's sanctuary city policies. (Giuliani would later back Trump and defend Trump's fascist immigration proposals during the 2016 election.) In response, Vance said that federal law enforcement officers do not feel safe calling 911."
Vice President JD Vance claimed ICE and other federal agents do not feel safe calling 911 while conducting street raids, alleging they face obstacles from local police. Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey reaffirmed that local police should not enforce immigration laws and opposed using police to hunt an Ecuadorian working father. Frey referenced Rudy Giuliani's past NYC policies and emphasized that everyone should feel safe calling 911. Federal agents recently shot and killed Alex Pretti in Minneapolis. Vance reiterated that federal officers do not feel safe calling 911 because local police were told not to assist. Vance's claim drew criticism as nonsensical.
