US EditionOff-Duty Twin Cities Officers Among Those "Targeted" by ICE Agents Looking for Proof of U.S. Citizenship, Chief Says
Brooklyn Park Police Chief Mark Bruley criticized ICE for improper enforcement targeting officers of color, with multiple incidents reported in recent weeks, highlighting civil rights concerns.
- On Tuesday, Brooklyn Park Police Chief Mark Bruley said ICE agents pulled guns on off-duty officers of color and demanded their paperwork, with Bruley quoting, `When they boxed her in, they demanded her paperwork, of which she's a U.S. citizen`.
- A coalition of Twin Cities law enforcement leaders said Tuesday their press conference followed increased federal immigration enforcement in Minnesota, including an expanded Operation Metro Surge earlier this month.
- One vivid account described how the off-duty female officer was boxed in by federal agents who drew guns and knocked her phone away when she tried to record, then left after she identified herself as Brooklyn Park Police Department, Bruley said.
- Local leaders say the fallout includes more than two dozen officers contacting Minnesota Police and Peace Officers Association attorneys and lawsuits by the American Civil Liberties Union alleging profiling, while law enforcement leaders warn these tactics erode community trust but support lawful immigration enforcement.
- Officials added that coordination problems and masked agents make accountability difficult, undermining efforts to rebuild trust after George Floyd's murder, while Bruley supports deportation but demands better federal processes.
