Minnesota DOC disputes DHS claim on ICE detainer compliance

The Trump administration accused Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey of organizing anti-ICE resistance after claims from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) that the state released nearly 470 criminal illegal immigrants. The Minnesota Department of Corrections (DOC) refuted DHS’s assertions as “categorically false,” stating they always coordinate with ICE, while DHS maintained there are over 1,360 detainers in Minnesota. Following a shooting involving ICE, Frey and Walz expressed their opposition to federal agents in the city. Federal prosecutors are reportedly investigating whether Walz and Frey impeded law enforcement efforts.
