ICE assaulted a Native man—violently pulled him from his car—and detained him. He was then released because he is emphatically not an immigrant. Today they charged him—on a secret warrant and secret indictment, zero public evidence—with assaulting an ICE agent.

Wanna bet, when the agent has to appear, his body camera was either off or he wasn't wearing one?

As is standard everywhere in the US, Robbinsdale police allowed this violent abduction. They went a step further though and four days after the abduction released a statement, contradicted by witnesses and video, that "the individual being detained punched an agent in the face."

The person who wrote this statement for Robbinsdale PD, setting up #ICE's retaliatory charges, is almost certainly John Elder, former #Minneapolis PD spokesperson who lied about Derek Chauvin's murder of #GeorgeFloyd

@mlncn Are public authorities allowed to lie in the US?

In Germany they're bound to a "principle of objectivity and factualness", which is implicit in our understanding of the rule of law.
