Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said in a televised interview that Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz have released 490 violent offenders from local jails instead of turning them over to ICE. Noem described the group as homicide suspects, sexual offenders and drug traffickers and urged local officials to “give us the criminals you have in jail,” saying those people were put back on the streets rather than transferred for deportation. The claim was made amid the administration’s Operation Metro Surge and has circulated widely in media and social posts; local officials dispute federal characterizations of cooperation.
