Minneapolis police officers risk losing their jobs if they don't intervene in certain situations when U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents are using “illegal force.”

The chief of City police chief Brian O'Hara issued a stern warning to his officers: “Intervene when you see Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents using unlawful force or you will lose your job,” according to an article published in MS Now. “If any law enforcement officer uses unlawful force against any person in this city and one of our officers is there, I absolutely expect you to intervene or you will be fired,” O'Hara said when asked how his officers should respond to excessive use of force by ICE agents. O'Hara noted that cases of obvious excessive force would warrant officer intervention. A sergeant in O'Hara's department later clarified that while Minneapolis Police Department officers can physically intervene in cases of unlawful use of force, they would not arrest ICE agents. Minnesota's largest city is in the midst of a crackdown on immigration. This comes after President Donald Trump used xenophobic language earlier this week to describe members of the state's Somali diaspora, calling them "trash." Minneapolis is the latest community targeted by Trump's mass deportation plan. Los Angeles; Chicago; Charlotte, North Carolina; and now New Orleans are among the cities where federal agents have implemented Trump's mass deportation plan. In the process, federal agents have faced widespread accusations of racial discrimination and excessive use of force, often backed up by thousands of videos from concerned citizens showing violent encounters.
