Minneapolis Mayor Candidate Omar Fateh: I Will Fight Trump & Prevent MPD from Working with ICE

‘As a renter in Stevens Square with a full-time job on top of my part-time Senator job, and a baby on the way, I want to keep money in working people’s pockets and circulating in our local economy’

EXCERPT:

FATEH: “By increasing the minimum wage to $20 by 2028, and passing rent stabilization to stop price gouging, and incentivizing new construction, we can protect workers. Protecting all of our communities from Donald Trump means not letting MPD interact with ICE, whether it's for an immigration raid or not. Our residents deserve a mayor that will stand up to Donald Trump and say, 'No, not in our community.' Did you know that the city's own data showed that 47 percent of calls to MPD can be diverted to non-police response? Cops aren't social workers. Investments in programs like these ensure that the appropriate response arrives when we call 911. And we can actually free up police resources to focus on violent crime that detracts from community safety.”
