This seems like a very easy way for MPD to help ICE with immigration enforcement, telling everyone else they’re there for some other reason, even though ICE is only there for one thing.

It is very important to remind people, at every opportunity, that Mayor Jacob Frey has sole and exclusive authority over the Minneapolis Police Department. This is Jacob Frey's MPD assisting Donald Trump's feds in a raid on Minneapolis.

At the end of the day, this is the President of the United States targeting, harassing and bullying a single individual 16-year-old girl for winning a track meet. The disgusting absurdity of that is only beaten out by how brave AB Hernandez is. She's got more guts than any politician today.
