Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey reveals whether he believes ICE should be abolished

Mayor Jacob Frey discusses the presence of I.C.E. and protests in his city on 'Fox & Friends.'

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey insisted protests across the city have remained "peaceful" following the fatal shooting of Renee Good during an exclusive interview with "Fox & Friends"

"We have had, perhaps tens of thousands of people peacefully protesting in the street," Frey said in an interview that will air Wednesday on "Fox & Friends." "And at the same time, yeah, they are going to stand up for their neighbors."

The mayor addressed the fallout from the fatal shooting of 37-year-old Renee Good by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent.

Good was shot and killed during an interaction with an I.C.E. officer last Wednesday. Since then, protests have erupted in Minneapolis and across the nation. Local officials such as Frey have slammed the officer's actions. Meanwhile, federal officials, including members of the Trump administration, have stood solidly behind I.C.E., and said the agent acted in self-defense and labeled Good's actions leading up to the shooting as "an act of domestic terrorism." Several Democrats have rejected the self-defense claim.

Mayor Frey said he does not support abolishing I.C.E., despite Minnesota filing a lawsuit against the Trump administration over its surge in immigration enforcement operations.

"I do not support abolishing ICE," Frey said. "However, I absolutely oppose the way that this administration is conducting themselves with us."
