明尼阿波利斯市市长雅各布·弗雷在周三晚间的美国有线电视新闻网（CNN）市政厅会议上，坚定支持该市的庇护政策，并再次要求联邦移民局人员离开该市。
弗雷发表上述言论之际，州、地方和联邦官员正试图在两名美国公民——雷尼·古德（Renee Good）和亚历克斯·普雷蒂（Alex Pretti）在明尼阿波利斯被杀害后，寻找缓解紧张局势的方法。
弗雷周一与唐纳德·特朗普总统进行了交谈，特朗普随后似乎软化了对弗雷和明尼苏达州州长蒂姆·瓦尔兹的评论。但周三特朗普的语气发生了变化，他表示，市长坚持当地警方不会在执行联邦移民法方面发挥作用，这是“玩火”。
在市政厅会议期间，三名明尼苏达州共和党州议员也表示，明尼阿波利斯混乱的责任应由特朗普政府和民主党州及地方领导人共同承担。
明尼苏达州总检察长基思·埃利森表示，州官员仍然不知道在普雷蒂被杀事件中涉及的联邦特工的姓名。
三位宗教领袖表示，他们正努力领导一个悲伤的居民感到愤怒的城市。圣贞德天主教社区教堂的吉姆·卡西迪神父说：“挑战在于我们神职人员也可能变得非常激动。”
亨内平大道联合卫理公会教堂的首席牧师伊丽莎白·麦考利牧师说：“我要求人们记住的一件事是他们自己的力量。我今天可能没有精力，但我身边的人会有，我们可以一起度过难关。我坚信这一点。这很可怕，也很伤人。”
以下是美国有线电视新闻网市政厅会议的六大要点：
“当前状况需要改变”
弗雷表示，他周一与特朗普进行了“富有成效”和“融洽”的对话，但在周三晚上，他对联邦移民局人员离开明尼阿波利斯的要求丝毫没有退缩。
“我现在说的和当时一样，”他说。
弗雷有两个具体要求。首先，他表示，州政府官员应领导对古德和普雷蒂被杀案的调查。他说，他不信任一个“从一开始就得出结论”称这些杀戮是自卫行为、古德和普雷蒂是国内恐怖分子的联邦政府。
他还表示，希望最近几周数千名移民局特工涌入双城地区的联邦行动能迅速结束。弗雷告诉听众，他在与特朗普边境事务负责人汤姆·霍曼（Tom Homan）的会面中也表达了这一点，总统本周派霍曼前往明尼苏达州，以监督政府在普雷蒂被杀后缓解紧张局势的努力。
弗雷说，霍曼与州和地方官员的会面并没有承诺在任何特定时间表内结束联邦行动。
“但”，他说，“普遍共识是当前状况需要改变。”
他说，希望明尼苏达州的特工人数能减少，联邦特工与当地观察员之间的暴力冲突将结束。
“但再说一次，看到了才会相信，”弗雷说。
当地角色：是否逮捕非法移民？
周三，特朗普在社交媒体上抨击弗雷，称这位第三任期的民主党市长“在玩火”，此前弗雷周二表示，明尼阿波利斯不会改变其庇护政策，也不会协助执行联邦移民法。
但弗雷周三晚上坚持称，该市及其警方“将做好我们的工作，而不是联邦政府的工作。”
“我希望我们的警察花时间保护我们城市的居民——阻止凶杀和劫车；确保暴力罪犯被调查并被追究责任，”他说。
弗雷说，这并不意味着明尼阿波利斯执法部门不会与联邦特工合作逮捕任何罪犯。
“重要的是，当你试图抓获凶手或强奸犯时，你首先问的问题不是‘你从哪里来？’”他说。
“重要的问题是，‘他们是否强奸了某人？是否谋杀了某人？’如果他们确实如此，我们会进行调查并合作进行调查，”他说。
“我不希望他们花一秒钟去追捕一位刚把孩子送到日托所、即将开始12小时轮班、恰好来自厄瓜多尔的父亲，”弗雷说。“那个家伙？他让我们的城市变得更美好。我们很自豪能在明尼阿波利斯拥有他。”
他解释了该市的庇护政策，称明尼阿波利斯官员希望非法移民在必要时可以拨打911而不必担心被驱逐。他称这些政策是“安全策略”，并表示他不希望警察花时间调查那些没有犯罪的人。
警察局长称移民局特工使用“有问题的”战术
明尼阿波利斯警察局局长布莱恩·奥哈拉（Brian O’Hara）严厉批评了联邦移民局特工在该市的战术，称社交媒体上流传的这些特工与当地观察员冲突的视频“显示出许多有问题的方法和对特工或社区都不安全的战术”。
他说，边境巡逻队和移民海关执法局特工的做法“看起来像是20或30年前的警务方式”，并且这些特工往往看起来“没有协调地行动”。
奥哈拉还试图将联邦移民局特工的做法与明尼阿波利斯警方进行对比。他说，在该市，当地执法部门一直“非常强调尽可能缓和局势”。
“这意味着我们试图放慢速度，试图平息局势，而不是不必要地升级局势，”他说。
弗雷称普雷蒂冲突视频不构成杀人理由
在周三晚间的市政厅会议上，弗雷首次观看了普雷蒂与联邦移民局特工之前发生争执的视频。
这段新曝光的视频显示，普雷蒂踢了一辆执法车辆的尾灯，然后被扑倒在地。弗雷说，无论这段视频内容如何，都不能成为普雷蒂在一周多后被杀的正当理由。
“我们真的在争辩说，亚历克斯·普雷蒂应该因为11天前发生的事情而被杀害吗？”他说。“我认为我们应该讨论导致杀害发生的具体情况和实际发生的事情。”
“这实际上是所有相关人员的责任”
参加美国有线电视新闻网市政厅会议的三位明尼苏达州共和党州议员并没有免除特朗普政府在明尼阿波利斯街头发生的混乱中的角色责任，但他们表示，州和地方民主党官员也应承担部分责任。
“这实际上是所有相关人员的责任，”州议员诺兰·韦斯特（Nolan West）说。“我们看到的是，没有人愿意降温。立即以牙还牙，我们不会合作。”
州议员埃利奥特·恩根（Elliott Engen）也指责“我们所谓的领导人”导致了明尼阿波利斯的“绝对动荡”。他说，民主党州长瓦尔兹本应与联邦移民官员合作，帮助确定驱逐目标。
恩根和其他共和党人在几个关键点上与特朗普和联邦官员意见不同。
恩根承认联邦移民局特工在一些冲突中发挥了作用。“双方都发表了很多负面言论，我不会否认这一点，”恩根说。
韦斯特强调，他不赞成驱逐所有非法移民，称这是“根本不可能的”和“经济自杀”。
州参议员迈克尔·霍尔姆斯特伦（Michael Holmstrom）则对总统称普雷蒂不应该携带枪支的说法表示异议。“我当然不同意总统的这一说法，”他说，强调他支持《第二修正案》。
然而，霍尔姆斯特伦表示，他相信联邦政府能够调查普雷蒂被杀案。“我相信他们能够进行适当的调查，”霍尔姆斯特伦说。
埃利森称州官员不知道开枪特工的姓名
埃利森表示，联邦政府拒绝公布开枪打死普雷蒂的移民局特工的姓名“感觉像是一种掩盖”。
埃利森气急败坏地坚持称，明尼苏达州官员正在调查普雷蒂被杀案，并表示该州已采取法院命令保护证据。但他也承认，明尼苏达州官员不知道在普雷蒂被杀的冲突中涉及的特工姓名。
“我们听到一些报道说这些名字可能存在于某个报告中，”他说。“我还没有听到这些名字。我相信我们会得到这些名字。但我现在不知道这些名字是荒谬的，这表明我们得到的合作太少了。”
埃利森还表示，副总统JD·万斯（JD Vance）在古德被杀后声称联邦移民局特工“享有绝对豁免权”是错误的，并表示他愿意就这一点与副总统辩论。
“任何在本州犯罪的人都可以被指控并追究其刑事责任，”埃利森说。

Takeaways from CNN’s Minnesota town hall
By Eric Bradner

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, in a CNN town hall Wednesday night, stood by the city’s sanctuary policies and repeated his demand that federal immigration agents leave the city.
Frey’s comments come as state, local and federal officials look for ways to tamp down tensions in the wake of the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, two US citizens who lived in Minneapolis.
Frey spoke on Monday with President Donald Trump, who then appeared to soften his comments on the mayor and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz. But Trump’s tone changed Wednesday, when he said the mayor is “playing with fire” by insisting local police won’t play a role in enforcing federal immigration laws.
During the town hall, three Republican state lawmakers also said blame for the chaos in Minneapolis is shared between the Trump administration and Democratic state and local leaders.
And Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison said state officials still do not know the names of the federal agents involved in Pretti’s killing.
Three faith leaders said they were grappling with leading a city where grieving residents feel a sense of rage. Father Jim Cassidy of the St. Joan of Arc Catholic Community Church said that “the challenge is that we clergy can also get very riled up.”
“One of the things that I ask people to remember is their own power,” said Rev. Elizabeth Macaulay, the lead pastor at Hennepin Avenue United Methodist Church. “I may not have the energy today, but someone else beside me will, and together we can get through this. I believe it strongly. And it’s awful, and it hurts.”
Here are six takeaways from CNN’s town hall:
‘The present status needs to change’
Frey said he had a “productive” and “collegial” conversation with Trump on Monday. But didn’t back down at all Wednesday night from his demand that federal immigration agents leave Minneapolis.
“I’m saying the same things now that I said then,” he said.
Frey had two specific demands. First, he said, state officials should lead the investigations into the killings of Good and Pretti. He said he doesn’t trust a federal government that “came to a conclusion from the very beginning” that the those killings were acts of self-defense and that Good and Pretti were domestic terrorists.
He also said he wanted the federal operation that has seen thousands of immigration agents swarm the Twin Cities in recent weeks come to a rapid conclusion. Frey told the audience he said as much in a meeting with Trump border czar Tom Homan, who the president sent to Minnesota this week to oversee the administration’s efforts there in an attempt to ease tensions in the wake of Pretti’s killing.
Frey said a meeting between Homan and state and local officials didn’t end with a commitment to ending the federal effort “on any given timeline.”
“But,” he said, “there was a general consensus that the present status needs to change.”
He said he hopes that the number of agents in Minnesota will be drawn down, and the violent clashes between federal agents and local observers will end.
“But again, I’ll believe it when I see it,” Frey said.
Local role apprehending undocumented immigrants?
Trump on Wednesday attacked Frey on social media, saying the third-term Democratic mayor was “playing with fire” after Frey said Tuesday that Minneapolis would not change its sanctuary policies and would not help enforce federal immigration laws.
But Frey insisted Wednesday night that the city and its police “are going to do our jobs, not the federal government’s jobs.”
“I want our police spending time protecting the residents of our city — stopping homicides and carjackings; making sure violent offenders are investigated and held accountable,” he said.
That isn’t to say Minneapolis law enforcement wouldn’t cooperate with federal agents to apprehend any criminals, Frey said.
“Importantly when you’re trying to catch a murderer or a rapist, the first question that you ask is not, ‘Where are you from?’” he said.
“The question that’s important is, ‘Did they rape somebody? Did they murder somebody?’ And if they did, we investigate and we partner to do so,” he said.
“I don’t want them spending a single second hunting down a father who just dropped his kids off at daycare, is about to go work a 12-hour shift, and happens to be from Ecuador,” Frey said. “That guy? He makes our city a better place. We’re proud to have him in Minneapolis.”
He explained the city’s sanctuary policies, saying Minneapolis officials want undocumented immigrants to feel like they can call 911 when necessary without fearing deportation. He called those policies “a safety strategy.” And he said he didn’t want police spending their time investigating those who haven’t committed crimes.
Police chief says immigration agents using ‘questionable’ tactics
Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara was sharply critical of federal immigration agents’ tactics in the city, saying that viral social media videos of encounters between those agents and local observers “show a lot of methods that are questionable and tactics that just do not appear safe — for agents or community.”
He said Border Patrol and Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents’ approach “looks like policing 20 or 30 years ago,” and said those agents often did not appear to be working “in a coordinated way.”
O’Hara also sought to contrast federal immigration agents’ approach with Minneapolis police. He said in the city, local law enforcement has been “placing a very strong emphasis on trying to deescalate situations whenever possible.”
“That means we try to slow things down. We try to calm the situation, and not unnecessarily escalate things,” he said.
Frey says video of separate Pretti clash doesn’t justify killing
Frey watched a video of a prior altercation between Pretti and federal immigration agents for the first time during Wednesday night’s town hall.
The newly surfaced video showed Pretti kicking the taillight of a law enforcement vehicle before being tackled to the ground. Frey said regardless of that video’s contents, it did not justify Pretti’s killing more than a week later.
“Are we actually making the argument that Alex Pretti should be killed for something that happened, like 11 days prior to the shooting itself?” he said. “I think we should be talking about the circumstances that actually led to the killing and what took place and those circumstances.”
‘It’s literally all the people involved’
Three Republican Minnesota state lawmakers who participated in CNN’s town hall didn’t absolve the Trump administration for its role in the chaos that has played out in the streets of Minneapolis, but they said state and local Democratic officials bear a share of the blame.
“It’s literally all the people involved,” said state Rep. Nolan West. “That’s what we’re seeing, is that there is not a desire to lower the temperature. It’s immediately tit-for-tat, we’re not going to work together.”
State Rep. Elliott Engen also faulted “our supposed leaders” for the “absolute unrest” in Minneapolis. He said Walz, the Democratic governor, should have cooperated with federal immigration officials to help identify targets for deportation.
Engen and the other Republicans did break with Trump and federal officials on several key points.
Engen acknowledged the role federal immigration agents have played in some clashes. “There’s been a lot of negative rhetoric that’s been spewed both ways, I will not deny that,” Engen said.
West emphasized that he didn’t favor deporting all undocumented migrants, calling it “fundamentally impossible” and “economic suicide.”
State Sen. Michael Holmstrom broke with Trump over the president’s assertion that Pretti should not have been carrying a gun. “I certainly disagree with the president on that,” he said, emphasizing his support for the Second Amendment.
However, Holmstrom said he trusts the federal government to handle the investigation into Pretti’s killing. “I believe that they can conduct a proper investigation,” Holmstrom said.
Ellison says state officials don’t know names of agents who shot Pretti
Ellison said the federal government’s refusal to release the names of the immigration agents who shot Pretti “feels like a cover-up.”
An exasperated Ellison insisted that Minnesota officials are moving to investigate Pretti’s killing, and he said the state moved to secure a court order to protect evidence. But he also acknowledged that Minnesota officials do not know the names of the agents involved in the altercation in which Pretti was killed.
“We have heard some reports that the names might be — exist, in a report form,” he said. “I haven’t heard them yet. And I am confident that we will get those names. But the fact that I don’t know them yet is an absurdity, and an example of how little cooperation that we’re getting.”
Ellison also said Vice President JD Vance’s claim — which came in the wake of Good’s killing — that federal immigration agents are “protected by absolute immunity” is wrong, and said he would like to debate the vice president on that point.
“Anybody who commits a crime in this state can be charged and held accountable for that crime,” Ellison said.
