Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara says that Somalians should call 911 if ICE shows up wearing masks to make arrests.

He says police will "immediately respond" and "intervene."

Interfering with immigration enforcement is a CRIME.

If the police are against the American citizens, they make themselves legitimate targets.

Why is this Irishman helping out Somalians?

Maybe he has IRA links? Once a terrorist... Always a terrorist. ICE should get on that.

[faithhopecharity]

and just what does he think he’s gonna do, other than get arrested on federal felony charges for interfering with the lawful functions of the ICE officers?

[Frank Drebin]

Go ahead and "intervene", O'Hara...

[Wallace T.]

Let the Minneapolis Police Department try to stop ICE. That would trigger a gun fight between the agencies. President Trump could then declare Minnesota as being in a state of insurrection. That allows the regular Army to occupy the state. If the police chief and Governor Walz want to trigger a civil war, that is just the way to do it. But perhaps this is what the Left wants.

So chief, if you’re ignoring enforcing the law please tell me what law you will ignore for me. Robbery? Theft? Embezzlement? Fraud?

[Kid Shelleen]

I wonder if any of the rank and file policemen will think O’hara’s orders are illegal and refuse to follow them?

A police chief’s job is very political. It looks like this guy has put his ethics aside in order to curry favor with city leaders.

It'$ a my$tery.

[Leaning Right]

I can’t remember the name of the city. But I read an article about something similar awhile back.

The chief would issue unlawful orders. The average cops would obey, but drag their feet. Take their time to reach the scene. Make a deliberate wrong turn while on the way. Etc.

But who knows how far down the rot goes in the Minneapolis police department?

Why limit this to Somalis? Everyone being arrested should call 911 and report they are being kidnapped.

If police under his orders actually interfere with federal law enforcement, he should be arrested by the FBI and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

[yuleeyahoo]

He is just supporting his masters.

[fhayek]

I thought ‘Sanctuary State’ meant they won’t assist ICE. Now, I guess they are willing to expand that to mean resist ICE.

[Iron Munro]

Minnesota’s “Little House On The Prairie” is now a feral nest of Somalian criminals and terrorists.

The dysfunctional state that wanted to defund police and replace them with WOKE social workers now wants their police
to turn on the nation’s government in the performance of their legal and constitutional duties.

[Agatsu77]

Arrest the Bast^^d! He is interfering with federal law enforcement. Lock him up.

[Cincinnatus.45-70]

What about Mexicans and Venezuelans and Afghans?

[Deaf Smith]

>>>as being in a state of insurrection

If local law enforcement is sent to confront and stop ICE activities, this would be a State of Armed Insurrection.

President Lincoln always qualified his statements as Armed Insurrection against the US, during the Civil War.

[ro_dreaming]

Yeah, local Minnesota cops versus ICE/DHS.

That’s not going to end well for the Somali MPD.
