Omar Fateh, a Democratic Socialist and mayoral candidate in Minneapolis, has stated that his top priority if elected would be to protect undocumented immigrants from what he describes as a "hostile federal government" under the Trump administration. Fateh emphasized concerns among undocumented residents in the city regarding federal immigration enforcement, particularly actions by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). His stance aligns with a broader trend of socialist candidates gaining prominence in major U.S. cities, with bettors also favoring socialist Zohran Mamdani to become New York City's next mayor. This shift reflects evolving dynamics within the Democratic Party, which some observers note is experiencing internal changes as it prepares for upcoming elections.
