Immigration and Customs Enforcement criticized Minnesota Gov.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey after arresting a convicted sex offender who had been living illegally in Minneapolis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
ICE said the arrest followed years of delays caused by local sanctuary-style policies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The agency identified the man as Mahad Abdulkadir Yusuf, a Somali national unlawfully in the U.S., convicted in 2016 of first-degree criminal sexual conduct.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
ICE described the offense as \u201cviolent and predatory.\u201d Despite the conviction, Yusuf remained free for years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Agents previously tried to arrest him but were blocked when a building manager denied them access.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After a targeted operation finally led to Yusuf\u2019s arrest, ICE blamed state and city leaders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThanks to the sanctuary policies of Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
this dangerous criminal was free to prowl the streets,\u201d ICE said, adding, \u201cThis is who Governor Walz and Mayor Frey defend.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Walz and Frey argue such policies build community trust, while ICE says they endanger public safety.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
