1. La Directriz del Jefe O'Hara: Intervención Obligatoria contra ICE.
El Jefe de Policía de Minneapolis, Brian O'Hara, emitió una orden clara a sus oficiales, exigiéndoles intervenir si presenciaban el uso de fuerza ilegal por parte de agentes de ICE. Esta postura fue ampliamente elogiada como un acto de liderazgo y defensa de los derechos civiles, aunque generó controversia sobre la jurisdicción federal.
- If ice agents use unlawful force in this city, my officers must intervene. And if they dont, they could lose their jobs.
- Minneapolis police chief brian ohara told his officers that they have a duty to intervene if they see ice committing crimes and will be fired if they dont.
- Minneapolis police chief brian ohara to us citizen detained by ice i apologize that this happened to you in my city with people wearing vests that say police. Thats embarrassing.
2. Escepticismo y Limitaciones de la Política de Minneapolis.
A pesar de la firme declaración de O'Hara, muchos residentes y activistas de Minneapolis expresaron un profundo escepticismo, citando el historial de brutalidad policial del MPD y la influencia del sindicato. Además, se reveló una limitación clave en la directriz: la prohibición de arrestar a agentes federales.
- A sergeant from oharas department later clarified that while minneapolis police department officers may physically intervene in the case of unlawful force, they would stop short of arresting ice agents.
- Lol, minneapolis resident here. Hes paying lip service. If you genuinely believe the mpd is going to do anything to stop ice from using excessive force, youve clearly not paid attention to the decades of police brutality that has gone unchecked in this city.
- I really want this to happen but i dont think it will. The chief of police doesnt run the mplspd, the police union president does. And the minneapolis police are fucking racists.
3. Contraste con la Policía de St. Paul y Uso de Fuerza contra Manifestantes.
En la ciudad vecina de St. Paul, la policía local fue acusada de colaborar activamente con ICE y de utilizar fuerza excesiva, incluyendo gases lacrimógenos y agentes químicos, contra manifestantes pacíficos que intentaban bloquear las operaciones federales, a pesar de que St. Paul es una "ciudad santuario".
- Watch st. Paul police, aiding ice, restrain a man and spray him full in the face. They are not and have never been on our side. Credit .
- St. Paul police brutally assault locals defending their neighbors from ice, then absurdly accuse the locals of being professional agitators.
- The way that our police officers showed up today was abhorrent, st. Paul city council member hwa jeong kim, who was tear gassed at the scene by st. Paul police, told sahan journal.
