US EditionMinneapolis police chief criticizes ICE tactics after clash with protesters
Chief Brian O'Hara criticized Immigration and Customs Enforcement for aggressive tactics that destabilize Minneapolis' Somali community, raising public safety concerns amid protests.
- Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara said city police were called Tuesday by a federal agent who requested assistance during a confrontation near a Somali business district.
- Federal immigration operations have focused on the Minneapolis–St. Paul Somali community, raising concerns after the FBI urged ICE to better identify themselves during these actions months ago.
- When Minneapolis police arrived, they did not see violence against federal officers, and DHS assistant secretary Tricia McLaughlin said protesters threw rocks, assaulted officers, and used pepper spray, leading to two charges.
- Chief Brian O'Hara said `I think it's been very destabilizing for a lot of people in the community` and noted that other law enforcement agencies often do not use such questionable methods.
- Public uncertainty over identification has led police to respond to calls from members of the public who weren't sure if federal officers were legitimate, O'Hara noted, and warned about bad actors posing as law enforcement.
