Immigration agents have stopped off-duty officers in Minnesota “solely because of the color of their skin,” a group of local police chiefs alleged, as concern grows over the handling of immigration enforcement in the state.
American citizens are being stopped on the streets “with no cause and are being forced to produce paperwork to determine if they are here legally,” said Mark Bruley, chief of the Brooklyn Park Police Department, which operates in a suburb north of Minneapolis.
He added that police officers “fell victim to this while off duty” and that the stops appear to “target” people of color.
