   Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey shifted his rhetoric overnight as he called   
   for peace across the city — just a week after unleashing a foul-mouthed   
   tirade in which he demanded that ICE agents “get the f–k out.”   
      
   The Democratic mayor softened his tone slightly while urging anti-ICE   
   agitators to remain peaceful or “go home” in the wake of a   
   violence-plagued night that saw an illegal Venezuelan migrant shot in   
   the leg after allegedly ambushing a federal agent with a shovel.   
      
   “I’m calling for peace,” Frey told a news conference late Wednesday   
   shortly after the shots were fired. “Everybody has a role in achieving   
   that peace — and we’re going to try and do everything we can to keep   
   it.”   
      
   Frey, who still ripped ICE’s recent conduct in Minneapolis as   
   “disgusting” and “intolerable,” pleaded with protesters not to take   
   what   
   he described as President Trump’s bait by wreaking havoc in the streets.   
      
   “We’re in a position right now where we have residents that are asking   
   the very limited number of police officers that we have to fight ICE   
   agents on the street,” Frey said.   
      
   “We cannot be at a place right now in America where we have two   
   governmental entities that are literally fighting one another.”   
      
   “If it were your city, it would be unacceptable there, too,” he added   
   elsewhere.   
      
   “And for anyone that is taking the bait tonight, stop. That is not   
   helpful … You are not helping the undocumented immigrants in our city.   
   You are not helping the people that call this place home.”   
      
   Frey’s calls for peace were vastly different from the furious attack he   
   unleashed last week after local mom Renee Good was fatally shot by a   
   federal agent.   
      
   “To ICE, get the f–k out of Minneapolis. We do not want you here,” he   
   raged during a fiery press conference in the wake of the deadly   
   shooting.   
      
   “Your stated reason for being in this city is to create some kind of   
   safety, and you are doing exactly the opposite.”   
      
   Frey’s pared remarks on Wednesday came soon after the Department of   
   Homeland Security revealed that a federal agent had opened fire on an   
   illegal migrant after he allegedly fled a traffic stop and then beat the   
   “ambushed” officer with a snow shovel.   
      
   Trump on Thursday threatened to invoke the Insurrection Act to flood the   
   city with military forces if local lawmakers didn’t help stem the chaos.   
      
   “If the corrupt politicians of Minnesota don’t obey the law and stop the   
   professional agitators and insurrectionists from attacking the Patriots   
   of ICE, who are only trying to do their job, I will institute the   
   INSURRECTION ACT, which many Presidents have done before me, and quickly   
   put an end to the travesty that is taking place in that once great   
   State,” he raged in a Truth Social post.   
      
   Frey, for his part, has repeatedly blamed the nearly 3,000 federal   
   officers already deployed across the city as the reason for the   
   disorder.   
      
   “Tonight a man was shot in the leg by an ICE agent on the Northside. No   
   matter what led up to this incident, the situation we are seeing in our   
   city is not sustainable,” he wrote on X.   
      
   “There’s 600 MPD officers working to keep our streets safe. Meanwhile,   
   they’ve sent in 3,000 federal agents. America, this is not the path we   
   can be on.”   
      
   Meanwhile, lame-duck Gov. Tim Walz on Thursday called for Trump to “turn   
   the temperature down.”   
      
   “I am making a direct appeal to the President: Let’s turn the   
   temperature down. Stop this campaign of retribution. This is not who we   
   are,” he wrote in an X statement.   
      
   “And an appeal to Minnesotans: I know this is scary. We can — we must —   
   speak out loudly, urgently, but also peacefully. We cannot fan the   
   flames of chaos. That’s what he wants.”
