Brooklyn Park Police Chief Mark Bruley revealed that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents have been pulling guns on off-duty officers of color while illegally demanding their citizenship papers.
"Recently, as the last two weeks, we as law enforcement community have been receiving endless complaints about civil rights violations in our streets from US citizens," he said. "What we're hearing is they're being stopped in traffic stops or on the street with no cause and being forced to show paperwork to determine if they are here legally."
"As this went on over the past two weeks, we started hearing from our police officers the same complaints as they fell victim to this while off duty," he continued. "Every one of these individuals is a person of color who has had this happen to them."
Bruley said ICE "boxed in" one officer on a roadway.

Every single one of these random stops is a crime that they need to be arrested and tried for. ICE has no legal authority to make traffic stops shorting of having a warrant for a specified individual who is driving when they encounter them.
