Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey just got caught with his pants down, folks. After days of strutting around claiming he'd somehow negotiated an end to President Trump's immigration enforcement surge in his crime-ridden sanctuary city, the Democrat mayor finally admitted the truth: there was no deal at all.
Speaking Thursday on MSNBC's "All In," Frey sheepishly confessed that no agreement was struck with Border Czar Tom Homan that would lead to ending the Trump administration's immigration crackdown in Minneapolis. This bombshell admission comes after Frey had been spinning tales to local media about supposed negotiations and agreements.
What we're witnessing here is classic Democrat desperation in action. These sanctuary city mayors thought they could play hardball with the Trump administration, but they're learning the hard way that President Trump means business this time around.
Tom Homan and the Trump team have been crystal clear from day one: Immigration law will be enforced, period. No negotiations, no backroom deals, no sanctuary city exemptions. Yet somehow Mayor Frey thought he could spin his way out of this mess by pretending he'd cut some kind of deal.
This embarrassing walk-back by Frey proves what we've been saying all along – these Democrat mayors are all talk and no action. They puff up their chests for the cameras, promise their radical base they'll "resist" Trump, then quietly fold when the adults show up to enforce the law.
Meanwhile, hardworking Minneapolis residents continue to suffer under Frey's failed leadership while he plays political theater instead of focusing on the crime and chaos plaguing his city.
How many more Democrat mayors will have to eat crow before they realize President Trump isn't the same pushover they dealt with in Washington for four years? The deportation operation continues, with or without their cooperation.
