From your link to (who else?) Heathen Crock Rickettson:
"Yesterday Brooklyn Park, Minnesota, police chief Mark Bruley told reporters that the police were getting repeated complaints about violations of civil rights by ICE and that ICE agents were stopping off-duty police officers of color. He recounted that ICE agents had stopped an off-duty police officer, demanded her paperwork—she is a U.S. citizen—and then held her at gunpoint. When she tried to film the interaction, they knocked the phone out of her hand. Finally, when she identified herself as a police officer, they got in their vehicles and left.
“This isn’t just important because it happened to off-duty police officers,” Bruley said, but because “our officers know what the Constitution is, they know what right and wrong is, and they know when people are being targeted, and that’s what they were. If it is happening to our officers, it pains me to think [of] how many of our community members are falling victim to this every day.” "

I guess Chief Bruley is totally incompetent. He actually has a direct report from one of his officers that she is a victim of an assault and battery.
And does NOTHING about it. Except whine to the media. Why hasn't a criminal complaint been filed? And of course, did the media ask probing questions and try to fact-check this nonsensical story? I doubt it.
Minnesota local law enforcement sounds completely worthless to do their jobs. No wonder ICE is so sorely needed there.
