Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey is at it again, firing off lawsuits against the Trump administration for supposedly stripping away citizens’ constitutional rights. In a Thursday appearance on MSNBC’s All In, Frey boasted that his city has filed legal actions on behalf of the hundreds, if not thousands of people whose rights were allegedly yanked by federal immigration crackdowns. This comes amid heightened ICE enforcement in sanctuary cities like Minneapolis, where Frey’s progressive paradise has long shielded illegal immigrants from deportation—often at the expense of law-abiding residents dealing with rising crime tied to unchecked migration.

But let’s peel back the rhetoric: Frey’s framing this as a Second Amendment assault is a masterclass in political sleight-of-hand. The constitutional rights he’s wailing about aren’t gun rights—they’re the supposed protections for non-citizens facing removal after crimes or visa violations. In reality, this ties directly into 2A battles because Frey’s sanctuary policies have flooded Minnesota with individuals who disproportionately fuel gun violence stats. FBI data shows illegal immigrants commit crimes at rates that strain local resources, including illegal firearms possession, while cities like Minneapolis defund police and resist federal cooperation. Trump’s admin was simply enforcing existing law, restoring order that Frey undermined, much like how Biden’s lax borders have supercharged cartel gun trafficking across the Southwest.

For the 2A community, the implications are crystal clear: this is peak hypocrisy from blue-city mayors who cry rights for everyone but law-abiding gun owners. Frey’s lawsuits distract from his own failures—like the post-George Floyd crime explosion where armed criminals exploited soft-on-crime policies—while painting federal enforcement as tyranny. It’s a blueprint for how gun-grabbers co-opt immigration fights to erode borders and bolster narratives against self-defense rights. 2A patriots should watch these cases closely; victories for Trump-era policies mean safer streets, fewer prohibited persons with illegal guns, and a stronger bulwark against the Frey-style erosion of American sovereignty. Stay vigilant—the real fight for rights is just heating up.
