Source summary

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security issued a press release criticizing Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey and Minnesota officials for what it calls sanctuary policies that it says led to the release of nearly 470 noncitizens with criminal records. DHS highlighted the case of German Llangari Inga, charged with vehicular homicide in the August 2024 death of Victoria Eileen Harwell, saying Hennepin County released him twice without notifying ICE before federal agents later arrested him. The release includes comments from Mayor Frey saying criminals should be prosecuted and from DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin condemning local noncooperation with ICE detainers.
