Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey Admits ICE Agent Got Hip Injury from Activist’s Car Ram — Then Downplays It as “Refrigerator Level” in Bizarre Excuse! (Video)
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey is under fire after making a truly shocking and tone-deaf comment about an ICE agent’s injury following a deadly confrontation during a federal immigration enforcement operation this week — comments that are now sparking outrage online.
The incident began earlier this week when 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good, a vocal anti-ICE activist, was shot and killed by an ICE agent in Minneapolis during a high-tension encounter involving multiple videos and conflicting witness accounts. Federal authorities insist Good’s vehicle struck an agent, prompting him to fire in what they say was self-defense.
On Friday, during a press briefing, Mayor Frey addressed the widely-circulated clips and national debate around the shooting — and when asked about claims that the ICE agent was injured by the vehicle, he delivered a remark that has left many stunned. Rather than confirm the injury as reported by federal officials, **Frey minimized it and compared it to something as trivial as bumping a hip on a refrigerator door.**
As the mayor put it: “The ICE agent walked away with a hip injury that he might as well have gotten from closing a refrigerator door with his hips. He was not injured. I’ve seen worse injuries from doing that. No, he wasn’t run over. He walked out of there with a hop in his step.”

The comparison — seemingly intended to cast doubt on the severity of the agent’s injury — is being widely mocked and condemned online, with critics saying it trivializes what federal officials have stated is a legitimate injury sustained during the confrontation. Others point out that Frey’s comments shift the narrative away from the federal account and toward minimizing any physical harm to agents.
Frey’s remarks came as he also disputed the Trump administration’s version of events, calling their characterization of the shooting “bulls—,” rejecting claims that Good was attempting to run over the agent, and demanding greater local involvement in the ongoing investigation.
In addition to dismissing the injury, Frey has repeatedly called for ICE to leave Minneapolis, arguing that the agency’s presence has contributed to chaos and distrust in the community.
It’s a remarkable moment in what continues to be a deeply contentious story with national implications — one where local leaders and federal authorities present sharply different descriptions of the same encounter, and online reactions are rapidly spreading.

Remember when these slugs blocked the roads and when a car tried to get through them, they screamed they were afraid for their lives and even shot at a few of the drivers.
Frey would minimize it if the guy was on the operating table fighting for his life. He’s a leftist and a statist. He believes everything good is devil and everything evil is good. The nincompoops in Minnesota and especially St. Paul got want they voted for and we all know they would vote him in again.
So, it seems those of us on the right who called this already, are absolutely right again. As the leftists look like blubbering idiots that cannot even discern facts from a set of videos.
Isn’t this the same guy that tried to choke down the Somalia food as tears were rolling down his face….”see, this food is great”.
Let’s take this idiot out and hit him with a car and see if it is nothing! What a jerk! Minneapolis is a crap run city by this anti-American Mayor. Take all Federal money from this state! You live in the United States of America, and you HAVE to follow the laws of this country! If you don’t like them then change them but until you do follow them or go to jail!
Getting hit by a car is no joke. I’ve been there. Bruising of bones is very painful. He’s lucky his hip wasn’t fractured or broken.
