Imagine if your city or town was invaded by thousands of people. By Jacob Frey, Mayor of Minnesota.
Imagine if your city or town was invaded by thousands of federal agents that do not share the values that you hold dear.
Frey: “Imagine if your city or town was invaded by thousands of federal agents that do not share the values that you hold dear.”

Funny how this logic never applies to the invasion of illegal aliens.
Look, the moment ICE agents show up in Minneapolis, they’re just as Minnesotan as people that have been there for generations.
I’ve been repeatedly told that’s how this works.
What Mayor Frey ‘should’ have said:
“Imagine if your city or town was invaded by thousands of illegal immigrants who do not share our values WE hold dear, and stole billions of our taxpayer money…”
The illegals represent the future of the Democrat Party, both in votes and reapportionment numbers for house representation. That’s why they let them flood in. That’s why they flew them all around the country to where they were “needed.” And that’s why they’ve gone completely insane over this issue.
The modern Progressive politician is a creature of meticulous curation. They are manufactured in the pristine labs of elite universities, polished by PR firms, and sold to the public wrapped in the seductive packaging of “equity” and “justice.” But occasionally, the packaging tears. The facade cracks. And what stares back is not a savior, but a vacuum of leadership filled with corruption, cronyism, and staggering incompetence.
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey is the archetype of this fraud. With his tailored suits, marathon-runner physique, and carefully rehearsed platitudes, Frey was sold as the “Boy Wonder” of the DFL — a symbol of a new, enlightened urban governance.
He is nothing of the sort.
Beneath the veneer of his “Minneapolis Strong” branding lies a tangled web of negligence that enabled the largest pandemic fraud in American history, a city surrendered to chaos, and a localized ecosystem of pay-to-play politics that would make Tammany Hall blush. It is time to dismantle the myth of Jacob Frey. …
If you want to understand the moral bankruptcy of the Frey administration, look no further than the Feeding Our Future scandal. This was not a sophisticated heist; it was a smash-and-grab of taxpayer money, carried out in broad daylight while Frey’s administration dozed at the switch.
Over $250 million — funds explicitly earmarked to feed hungry children during a global pandemic — was siphoned off to purchase luxury cars, international real estate, and political influence.
The Left loves to scream about “accountability,” yet Frey remains in office despite his office serving as a veritable incubator for the fraudsters.
Abdi Salah: A senior policy aide in Frey’s own office, whose brother was indicted in the scheme. Salah eventually pled guilty to wire fraud. This wasn’t a low-level bureaucrat; this was the Mayor’s inner circle.
Sharmarke Issa: Appointed by Frey to chair the Minneapolis Public Housing Authority. He was indicted for conspiracy and money laundering.
Abdikadir Ainanshe Mohamud: Another Frey pick for a community safety workgroup, charged in the same scheme.
These were not strangers. These were the people Frey vetted, appointed, and empowered.
Even more damning is the flow of cash. Frey’s reelection campaign accepted $9,000 from nine individuals who were later indicted. While he returned the money after the scandal broke, the stench of “pay-to-play” remains indelible. In politics, money doesn’t just talk; it signals access.
And then, there is the matter of his wife, Sarah Clarke. While Frey was mayor, his wife worked at Hylden Advocacy & Law, a firm that lobbied for — you guessed it — Feeding Our Future.
The Conflict: How can a Mayor claim objective oversight when his own household income is tethered to the very entities ripping off the taxpayer? It is a conflict of interest so brazen it borders on the absurd.
Frey does not operate in a vacuum. He is a cog in the DFL machine, protected by Governor Tim Walz and Attorney General Keith Ellison. Together, this trifecta of negligence allowed fraud in Minnesota to balloon to estimated figures of $9 billion to $16 billion across various sectors, including Medicaid and daycare.
When confronted with the Feeding Our Future disaster on national television, Frey offered a pathetic, deflectionary defense: “The fraud’s real… everybody could have done more to prevent fraud.”
This is the language of a coward. “Everybody” didn’t appoint the fraudsters. “Everybody” didn’t take their donations. “Everybody” isn’t the Mayor. You are.
Trump dares clean it up.
Presumably the Democrats in Minnesota are promoting protests and inflaming the violence in order to distract from the humongous Somali fraud that they allowed and profited from.
