    Every second of coverage that Jacob Frey gets is a centrist distraction from a sincere conversation about what’s happening in Minneapolis. He is uninterested in doing anything that helps anyone vulnerable in this city. He bumbled his way through the uprising in 2020 (on the side of “restoring order”), he constantly had homeless communities bulldozed, and now again he’s distracting people with stern-sounding rhetoric while doing nothing to support the community.

    The precinct map for the 2025 mayoral election (which Frey won) overlays neatly with the city map of ICE activity this month. That is, the parts of the city that supported Frey are being less affected by ICE raids and kidnappings. He doesn’t care about protecting immigrants and BIPOC community members because they’re not “his people.”
