ICE Raids and Civil Rights

Minnesota police chiefs allege ICE and Border Patrol agents have "targeted" off‑duty officers of color during Operation Metro Surge, citing incidents in which officers were boxed in, ordered to produce proof of citizenship and, in one case, had a phone knocked from her hand while recording. Hennepin County Sheriff Dawanna Witt and St. Paul Police Chief Axel Henry called the stops civil‑rights violations that undermine community trust and urged greater oversight and vetting of the roughly 3,000 federal agents deployed, while a Border Patrol commander declined to address the Brooklyn Park incident and said agents will continue their Title 8 mission.
