Minneapolis Police

The Minneapolis Police Department (MPD) is the law enforcement agency for the city of Minneapolis, Minnesota. Recent news focuses on the MPD's role in managing protests sparked by fatal shootings by federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents in the city. These shootings, part of a Trump administration immigration crackdown, have ignited significant public outrage and calls for the removal of ICE agents. Protests have resulted in dozens of arrests, and one MPD officer was injured after being struck by ice. The MPD is also involved in investigating an incident where a congresswoman was sprayed with an unknown substance at a town hall. The MPD's actions and responses during these events are under scrutiny, highlighting the complex relationship between local law enforcement, federal immigration enforcement, and community concerns.
