Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey was traveling to Washington, D.C. on Thursday where he planned to meet with lawmakers and call for an end to the federal immigration operation in the Twin Cities.

Frey was in the nation’s capital for the U.S. Conference of Mayors. He said in a statement that he intends to join leaders of other cities to urge lawmakers to reign in U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. The meeting comes as congressional Democrats threaten to partially shut down the government if Republicans don’t put guardrails on immigration authorities.
