In the news the goons were breaking into houses and someone was screaming that they had no warrant

Shouldn’t the Minneapolis police intervene?

any basis in reality. Right now, as I'm typing this, Minneapolis police are assisting ICE because ICE has shot at least one person over North. Assisting ICE. Not anyone who was shot.

ICE "costume" gear is easily available online. How can the state and local government not intervene in the absence of clear identification.
Aside from how wrong it is on every level, let's play MAGA for a minute and just talk Money.
If that happens with impersonators and the police do not respond AND if there is still a functioning court system, the nonresponders are going to be liable for huge amounts of money.
And our tax dollars will be paying for it.

issued a statement of support for ICE shortly after the invasion was announced. The widespread perception is that the police and NG are more inclined to support ICE than to protect citizens. This timeline sucks out loud!
