They tried to cover it up immediately and the Minneapolis police chief refused. Witnesses have been taken to police headquarters and all available off duty police have been called to work. ICE cannot be trusted to tell the truth. Congress must act now. The Courts must stop the stupid foot dragging. Enough is enough.

If these ICEholes decide on an armed confrontation with the cops, Gov. Walz needs to order in the State Police and the NG.

Good for Minneapolis Police Chief O'Hara for not backing down and taking charge of the murder scene before ICE had a chance to cover the shooting up.

I would not trust the personnel, especially not in the PD.
They have a high level of MAGA members and undoubtedly some are in the cult (not just symps).

would be outraged by these overpaid, overweight, militarily armed and severely untrained guys running amok through their communities.

They have a unique opportunity at reputational rehabilitation and to show strong support for their home community and fellow residents.

Will they do it, though?

This info has me confused. I'd feel more at ease if it is local and not the feds.

They run away after shooting people. They're cowards. They're not legitimate law enforcement.

Don't trust the feds.

They've taken witnesses to headquarters but how about the shooters? Were they gone by the time cops got there? Once again running from a crime scene. Their mothers should be so proud of the murdering thugs they raised.
