Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey (D) declared he does not support abolishing ICE in a preview of a Fox News interview set to air on Wednesday morning.

Fox News’ Griff Jenkins pressed Frey on his feelings about calls to abolish ICE and asked whether a lawsuit against President Donald Trump’s administration was part of an effort to shut the agency down.

Minnesota and its two largest cities, Minneapolis and St. Paul, have sued the Trump administration over their deployment of ICE agents into the state. The lawsuit followed an ICE agent shooting and killing 37-year-old Renee Good. Illinois is also suing the administration. The killing prompted Frey to slam ICE at a press conference where he said, “Get the f*ck out of Minneapolis.’

Talking out of both sides of his mouth.

Two weeks in and he's already destroyed his political career. Voters will remember this.
