No, not the typical ice in February! ICE active in northern MN  A resident of Duluth’s Lakeside neighborhood reports that apparent U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers made arrests Thursday morning. A witness, who spoke to WDIO after the arrests, said they were walking their dog around 9:00 AM when they saw men with protective vests and ICE insignia arresting individuals working outside of a home near Gilliat St. and 44th Ave. East. WDIO has been in contact with several organizations working to confirm the arrests. And ICE spokesperson provided WDIO with the following statement: “Due to our operational tempo and the increased interest in our agency, we are not able to research and respond to specifics of routine daily operations for ICE.” The Duluth Police Department (DPD) said in a statement that they were not informed or involved with any immigration incidents. “DPD’s public safety response remains the same,” said Duluth Police Chief Mike Ceynowa. “Our main priority has been and always will be the safety and security of our community. We weren’t involved in any immigration incidents and weren’t informed of actions occurring in our community.” Mayor Roger Reinert also provided a statement in response to WDIO’s inquiry stating, “We have multiple levels of government in the United States, and each is charged with different responsibilities. At the local level, our city staff continue to be focused on core city services: streets, utilities, and public safety. Local government is not responsible for immigration enforcement.” The roofing company whose signage was posted at the home where the arrests happened has declined to comment. WDIO is continuing to work on confirmation of the arrests, how many people were arrested, and why they were arrested. Police and mayor making sure they clarify they’re dodging responsibility.  | ||

My first thought too. Would have liked to see the sheriff's comment along the lines of, "well I wish they pulled us in, we could have helped and shown ICE where more illegals are." Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

The Deputies here probably would have welcomed the opportunity. The sheriff...not so much. (He's a former Chief of Police for Duluth, where this occurred). | |||

I don't think the mayor is dodging anything. His response is appropriate and is a refreshing change from the last mayor, who was a major league liberal loon. | |||

Haha. I had the same thought when I saw that photo. Palms out, dude! | |||

I'm comfortable saying that this photo doesn't show a FLETC-sanctioned technique. It actually burns my eyes. | |||

In his defense, it's probably been at least 4 years since he used his cuffs last... So it's understandable for him to be a bit rusty.  | |||
