Over the past month, federal immigration enforcement has  focused on the city of Minneapolis. Their presence and aggressive tactics have forced city leaders to navigate complex questions about authority, cooperation, and the role of local government.  

At the center of that conversation is the city’s community safety commissioner, Todd Barnette.

He oversees the Minneapolis Police Department along with the city’s fire department, 911 services, emergency management and neighborhood safety programs — with the goal of improving communication, accountability, equity, and service delivery.

MPR News host Angela Davis talks with Barnette about leadership, reform, and the path forward.
