Wait, What? Minneapolis Police Chief Urges Residents to Call 911 on ICE Agents

Apparently, many people in Minnesota are certifiably insane, considering that they voted for Tim Walz as their governor and have veered about as left as any state in the union. The latest to spout ridiculousness is Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara, who advised citizens on Tuesday to call 911 if they see ICE agents “kidnapping” people.

ICE raids reportedly heated up in the city on Wednesday after massive welfare fraud was uncovered by the feds, much of it committed by the large Somali community there.

City leaders are freaking out over the ICE presence, and apparently would rather let illegal aliens just go about their day. What’s actually scarier than possibly dangerous illegal aliens, according to the chief, is the prospect of random people in masks kidnapping people for no apparent reason (which I have seen exactly zero reports of):

“We have experienced reports in this city … where people call to say that there’s folks that are masked, that they’re not sure if they’re law enforcement, that they may be kidnapping people. We have had those reports,” O’Hara said during a baffling news conference.

He issued the bizarre plea Tuesday, when Mayor Jacob Frey accused immigration authorities of “targeting Somali people” based strictly on their appearance and claimed it was “inevitable” that ICE would round up American citizens in the operation.

Note to Mayor Frey: Department of Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin explicitly addressed that issue on Wednesday. "What makes someone a target of ICE is not their race or ethnicity," she said, "but the fact that they are in the country illegally."

Back to O'Hara:

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."

The chief thinks police officers should “intervene” with operations if they don’t like what they’re seeing. I don’t think that would go well for them:

“The community should know that if you see something like that, that is legitimate, that you don’t know if someone is law enforcement, you should call 911, and you should provide as much information as possible,” he said, pledging that cops “absolutely have a duty to intervene” in such cases.

Border Czar Tom Homan had harsh words for O’Hara, saying he should “put his badge in the desk drawer”:

Remember, this is the same city where authorities watched looters and arsonists burn the place virtually to the ground during the 2020 George Floyd riots. Although O’Hara was not with the Minneapolis force at that time, Tim Walz was governor, and his wife enjoyed the smell of burning tires.

The chief took heat in May from progressives for surprisingly criticizing the response to the riots and the “bizarre” political atmosphere in Minneapolis. Perhaps now he’s just trying to win back the favor of the far-left city council — or maybe he’s just had too much of the water from the area. 

There’s clearly something in it.

Thanks to President Trump, illegal immigration into our great country has virtually stopped. Despite the radical left's lies, new legislation wasn't needed to secure our border, just a new president.

Evil filth

[lightman]

Love Tom Homan!

If he’d take a seventh decade guy I’d sign up in a heartbeat!

[Secret Agent Man]

Police will get creamedif they interfere with federal law enforcement officers. Federal law isn’t in their jurisdiction, they cannot intervene lawfully.

[No name given]

True.

[No name given]

Big time.

[jonrick46]

I suspect Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara is on the take from the Drug Cartels who are lining pockets to get leaders to look the other way from their drug distribution activities.

Federal law isn’t in their jurisdiction, they cannot intervene lawfully

you cant lawfully burn down buildings and a police station either. But its Minneapolis. Do you expect lawfulness?

otoh, if you've ever been there lately, there's a lot of people walking around in masks, dressed head to toe black , looks suspicious to me.

I'd go to the Mall of Somalia and be calling in a few dozen people in masks.

mpls was always a socialist strong hold, the DFL party ring a bell?

[july4thfreedomfoundation]

I hope ICE arrests O’Hara.

[Secret Agent Man]

I’d still expect local police officers to realize this about federal law officers. Its inexcusable training failure at best, serious federal jailable offenses and risking being shot for armed interfering, at worst.

[digger48]

ICE is hitting Minneapolis hard since yesterday morning and nobody is interfering

The politicians are just blowing smoke

[Secret Agent Man]

I’ve seen that too. Am very glad it hasn’t gone worse, perhaps the police there are tired of libtards and somalis running the place.

[jonrick46]

"I hope ICE arrests O’Hara."

I do too. However, O'Hara looks like he is black. He does have a black wife, Wafiyyah, that may be the trigger point for explosive Race Card eruptions if ICE arrests him.
