President Trump announced Monday that he had a “very good” phone call with Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, who will meet with the commander-in-chief’s “border czar” on Tuesday after two deadly federal agent shootings and violent protests roiled his state.
“I just had a very good telephone conversation with Mayor Jacob Frey, of Minneapolis,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “Lots of progress is being made!
“Tom Homan will be meeting with him tomorrow in order to continue the discussion.”
Frey, a Democrat, said he “appreciated the conversation” with Trump.
“I expressed how much Minneapolis has benefited from our immigrant communities and was clear that my main ask is that Operation Metro Surge needs to end,” the mayor wrote on X.
“The president agreed the present situation can’t continue,” Frey said.
“Some federal agents will begin leaving the area tomorrow, and I will continue pushing for the rest involved in this operation to go,” he continued.
The US Border Patrol’s chief Greg Bovino and some agents have been ordered out of Minneapolis in the wake of the killing of a second US citizen by federal agents, sources told The Post.
The order does not extend to ICE, and it does not include all Border Patrol agents.
Homan has also been dispatched to take over immigration operations in Minnesota — replacing Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem.
Anti-ICE protester Renee Good, 37, was shot dead by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent after she accelerated her SUV in his direction on Jan. 7.
ICU nurse Alex Pretti was shot and killed on Saturday during a scuffle with Border Patrol agents. Pretti, 37, was carrying a pistol but appeared to be disarmed by Border Patrol agents before being shot dead.
