“Invasion?” Minneapolis Mayor, Ilhan Omar Escalate Rhetoric as ICE Crackdown Continues (Ep 639)

Just the Truth Podcast with Joey Hudson

What’s happening in Minneapolis right now is a warning sign for the rest of the country.

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey is calling federal immigration enforcement an “invasion,” while Rep. Ilhan Omar compares ICE operations to conditions in Somalia — rhetoric that critics say is inflaming tensions instead of restoring order.

At the same time, federal agents are in Minnesota responding to massive fraud investigations and years of limited cooperation from local officials — raising serious questions about leadership, public safety, and the rule of law.

In today’s show: • Why Minneapolis leaders are escalating language instead of de-escalating chaos • The difference between federal enforcement and political theater • How sanctuary policies push enforcement into the streets • What this standoff means for law enforcement and public safety • Updates from the South Carolina Statehouse, including closed primaries and DUI reform

🎧 Plus: South Carolina Rep. Mike Burns joins us with an update on the growing battle over closing primaries, and Senate President Thomas Alexander outlines what to expect as the SC General Assembly kicks off the new session.
