Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey criticized the administration's immigration operations in Minnesota's largest city on Sunday, calling the surge of federal agents an "occupying force that has quite literally invaded our city."
"You can go through whatever rhetorical flourish you want, but when you have 3,000 ICE agents and border control come to the city, when you've got this supposed threat of 1,500 military coming to the city, yeah, that's very much what it feels like," Frey said on "Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan."
