Jacob Frey: We’re Suing Trump Administration for Stripping Away Citizens Constitutional Rights

Pam Key 12 Feb 2026

Thursday on MS NOW’s “All In,” Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey (D) said the city has “lawsuits that have been filed on behalf of the hundreds, if not thousands of people that have had their constitutional rights stripped away from them” by the Trump administration during their immigration enforcement surge.

Host Chris Hayes said, “There’s an enormous amount of damage and havoc to your city. There’s two people who are dead.”

He asked, “What does accountability look like?”

Frey said, “Accountability needs to come through the justice system that we have in place. We have preemptive lawsuits that have been filed, response of lawsuits that have been filed, lawsuits that have been filed on behalf of the hundreds, if not thousands of people that have had their constitutional rights stripped away from them. And so, yes, of course, we want to see accountability in our city for the people who have been harmed.”

“And importantly, we don’t want Minneapolis just to be a stop along the route to the next location that has this extraordinary invasion that comes into their city and damages the economy, hurts the morale and the public welfare,” he added. “And so, you know, it’s it’s my goal. It’s our goal right now, to say that Minneapolis stopped this from happening again. We stood up for the endurance of our republic.”

Two words...Sovereign immunity.

F'n Idiot!

Rights may have been infringed upon, but not "stripped away".  If they were truly "stripped away", there would be no basis for a lawsuit.  You don't go to court to defend rights that don't exist.

Civilian Federal Law Enforcement Officers were enforcing Federal Laws, which they are allowed to do by the US Constitution and the Supremacy Clause.

Persons do not have the "right" to obstruct and interfere with civilian Federal Law Enforcement Officers exercising the duties of their Federal Offices.

From where do criminal illegal alien foreigners get legal standing within the US?  Do trespassers get property rights to the properties on which they are trespassing?

If that. I personally think you are giving him WAY too much credit.

Citizens? The only citizens I'm aware of who may have been affected by the ICE enforcement activities in MSP were the two who tried to kill officers, but instead got themselves dead.

Seems a lot of damage is attributable to the new 'industry' there: paid protesters.

I don't recall any whining about damage when they were having their 'mostly peaceful' protests over St. George of Floyd.
