"CNN anchor Pamela Brown pushed back when Trump DHS spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin blamed the media for causing the outrage over ICE tactics, saying Hold on! Let me just correct you right there! Minneapolis has become an epicenter for anti-ICE protests and clashes since the shocking killing of Renee Good by ICE agent Jonathan Ross last week. It has also become the source of viral video after viral video depicting disturbing encounters between agents and residents."
"OFFICER: Do you have an ID on you, ma'am? WOMAN: I don't need an ID to walk around in my city. This is my city, this is my home. OFFICER: Okay, do you have some ID then, please? WOMAN: I don't need an OFFICER: If not, we're gonna put you in the vehicle, we're going to ID you. WOMAN: Please. I am US citizen."
"PAMELA BROWN: So that video was filmed by a woman who, as you heard, said she is a U.S. Citizen. Why exactly was she stopped? Was there reasonable suspicion, which is a legal bar, as noted, that a crime was committed in that situation? And why was he asking her, where are you born? Like, what was he basing that on?"
Minneapolis became an epicenter of anti-ICE protests and clashes after ICE agent Jonathan Ross fatally shot Renee Good, and viral videos have spread showing disturbing encounters between agents and residents. One widely shared clip shows officers repeatedly demanding ID and asking a woman where she was born while she insists she is a U.S. citizen and that the area is her home. A DHS spokesperson attributed outrage to media coverage and suggested stops could be part of targeted operations or based on physical descriptors. A news anchor pressed whether there was reasonable suspicion to justify the stop and why birthplace was asked.
