Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey has led the city through two of the most difficult events in its history: the 2020 murder of George Floyd and the COVID-19 pandemic.
In the immediate aftermath of both of those events, Frey won his first reelection bid in 2021 with 56% in the second round of the ranked-choice election.
In 2025, the issues are entrenched and tend to reignite in dramatic spurts: the persistent war over homeless encampments, concerns over public safety, concerns over affordable housing and battles with the Trump administration over immigration and funding cuts.
Frey was a guest on WCCO Sunday Morning at 10:30 a.m.
"We look at people who are undocumented not just as undocumented, but as our neighbors," Frey said. "We love them and we are going to stand by them."
