ICE memo directs officers in Minneapolis not to "engage with agitators"

ICE officials in Minneapolis have been instructed to avoid engaging with protesters, a move that critics say is a stark departure from the agency's previous stance on community policing.

According to internal documents obtained by Reuters, top officials are now urging officers to only interact with immigrants who have a criminal history, which is defined as having an established "criminal nexus." This means that even individuals with charges or convictions will be targeted unless they meet these specific criteria.

This new directive appears to reflect a shift in the Trump administration's approach to immigration enforcement, following recent high-profile incidents involving ICE officers. In July, two people were killed by ICE agents in Minneapolis - Alex Pretti and Renee Good - prompting calls for change within the agency.

While some conservative lawmakers have expressed support for these policies, others are speaking out against them. Senators Thom Tillis of North Carolina and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska have called for the resignation of Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem over her handling of the situation in Minneapolis.

It remains to be seen how this new policy will play out in practice, but one thing is clear: it marks a significant shift in ICE's approach to community policing.
 
OMG, can u believe this?! 🤯 They're literally saying that only bad people deserve help from the police? Like, what even is that? We gotta make sure everyone has access to justice and support, regardless of their background or charges. This new policy is so messed up! It's like they're trying to make ICE a force of oppression instead of a force for good 🚫. I'm so worried about the impact this will have on the community in Minneapolis. We need to stand with the protesters and call out this harsh approach 🌟.
 
I'm really worried about this new policy from ICE. I live near Minneapolis and I've always thought of the city as pretty chill, you know? People are all about being friendly and welcoming. But now, if I saw an ICE van driving by with a guy who was just walking down the street... that would freak me out 🤯. It's not right to target people just because they have charges or convictions unless there's something concrete to show they've done something wrong. This sounds like it could lead to some serious profiling and I don't think that's cool at all 😒. We need to make sure everyone is treated fairly, regardless of their immigration status 🌎.
 
just saw this news and i'm like totally shook 🤯. ice officials are now only interacting with immigrants who have actual criminal history? that's insane 😱. what happened to the whole 'community policing' thing? this new policy feels super discriminatory and it's not even about targeting people with proof of wrongdoing, but just anyone with a charge or conviction - that's basically a trap 🚫. i'm all for keeping communities safe, but there's gotta be a better way than this 😕.
 
🤔 this new directive by ICE officials in Minneapolis is super concerning... i mean, what if someone has charges or convictions that don't even involve crime, like domestic violence or assault? shouldn't they be treated with the same respect and fairness as everyone else? 🤷‍♀️

i'm also wondering how this will affect people who are simply seeking asylum or trying to resolve an immigration issue peacefully. ice is supposed to be about enforcing laws and protecting public safety, not just targeting specific groups of people... it's a big change from their previous stance on community policing 💡

i'd love to see some data on how many people this new policy will affect and what the consequences will be for those who are targeted under these criteria... it feels like we're missing a crucial conversation about what kind of justice system we want to have in this country 🤝
 
I don’t usually comment but I feel really uneasy about this new policy 🤕. It seems like ICE officials are trying to avoid interacting with anyone who might not fit their narrow definition of "criminal nexus". What if someone has charges or convictions for something unrelated to immigration? Are they going to get targeted just because of that? It's like treating everyone the same, but not really treating them equally 🤷‍♀️. I also worry about the people who are already living in fear because of their immigration status, and now ICE is making it even harder for them to feel safe. Can't we find a way to make our communities safer without targeting entire groups of people?
 
🤔 just saw that ICE officials in Minneapolis are now told to only interact with immigrants who have a criminal history... like what's the point of having an agency if you're not gonna engage with people? 🤷‍♂️ stats say 75% of immigrants don't commit crimes, but this new policy is gonna change all that. charts show a 25% increase in ICE interactions since July when those two people got killed... is this really what we want? 📊 did you know that the Trump admin's approach to immigration enforcement has been linked to a 15% increase in hate crimes against Latinx communities? 🚫 anyhoo, gotta wonder how this new policy will play out in practice...
 
🤔 I'm really worried about what's happening here... ICE officials are basically saying that only people with a past crime are worthy of interaction? That's so messed up! 🚫 What about the innocent ones who just got caught up in the wrong place at the wrong time? It feels like they're treating everyone as suspects now, which is totally unfair. I'm all for keeping our communities safe, but this isn't the way to do it. We need a more balanced approach that actually builds trust between law enforcement and the people we're supposed to be serving. This new policy just seems like a recipe for disaster... 🚨
 
I'm really concerned about what's going down with the immigration agency in Minneapolis 🤕. They're basically saying that only people who have a history of committing crimes should be bothered by these agents... but what if someone has been accused or charged, even if they haven't been convicted yet? That feels like a recipe for disaster to me 😬. I mean, we already know ICE officers have made some mistakes in the past, and now it seems like they're being told to play it super safe and only bother people who are actually proven to be trouble 🚫. It's not exactly what you'd expect from an agency that's supposed to be working with communities, not just enforcing laws 👥.
 
I'm really concerned about what's going on with ICE in Minneapolis 🤕. This new directive sounds super discriminatory, you know? It's like they're saying that all immigrants with charges or convictions are bad people now? That's just not true! They deserve the same respect and treatment as anyone else.

And have you seen how some of these protesters got hurt? Two people were killed by ICE agents... that's heartbreaking 😔. I don't think it's fair to say that all protesters are violent, but maybe we need to have a conversation about de-escalation tactics instead?

I also think it's kinda weird that they're only targeting immigrants with a "criminal nexus". What does that even mean? It sounds like they're just making up rules as they go along. I hope this policy gets reevaluated ASAP ⏰.
 
🤝 I'm really worried about what's going on with ICE officials in Minneapolis right now... they're basically saying that only people with a criminal record are fair game for interaction, which just feels so messed up 😞. I mean, what about all the people who don't have any kind of record but are still being targeted? It just doesn't feel like community policing to me 🤷‍♀️... it sounds more like a recipe for disaster. And I'm not sure why we're seeing this shift now, especially after those tragic incidents in July 💔. Can we really afford to wait and see how this plays out before speaking up? I hope we can keep pushing for change and ensuring that everyone is treated with dignity and respect 🌟
 
🤔 I'm kinda worried about this new directive from ICE officials in Minneapolis... it sounds like they're turning a blind eye to people who aren't causing any trouble. Targeting just anyone with charges or convictions doesn't seem like the right way to build trust between law enforcement and the community. 😬 I get that there's been some bad apples within the agency, but completely ignoring entire groups of people doesn't solve anything. It's always about finding that balance between keeping the community safe and respecting everyone's rights. 🤷‍♀️ This new policy just feels like a recipe for more tension and mistrust... let's hope it gets reevaluated ASAP! 👮
 
Just saw this news and I'm not sure what to think 🤔. It seems like they're trying to isolate people with immigration issues, even if they don't have a record yet. That doesn't seem right to me 🚫. I mean, wouldn't we want to try and help people who are in trouble without making them outcasts? But at the same time, I get why some folks are worried about public safety - we've had those ICE incidents in Minneapolis that were pretty crazy 😱.

It's like they're trying to create a new kind of policing system where everyone is 'criminal' until proven otherwise 🚔. That just doesn't feel fair to me. We need to find ways to keep our communities safe without targeting people who are already vulnerable 👥.
 
I'm really worried about what's going on with ICE right now 🤕. It seems like they're becoming more and more aggressive towards people who aren't even breaking any laws. I get that there are some bad apples in every organization, but this doesn't have to be the case for everyone. We need to make sure our law enforcement agencies are working to build trust with the communities they serve, not tear them apart.

I also think it's really interesting that these changes came after two people were killed by ICE agents. It's like, what's going on here? Are we just going to sweep this under the rug and let it happen again? We need some real accountability and answers from our leaders 💡.
 
omg i'm so worried about this 🤕 just think about all those innocent ppl being targeted because of some charges lol what's next?! they gotta recheck the whole system and make sure its fair for everyone 💖 we need to keep pushing for that justice & equality for all 1800s ago was not good enough, lets make a difference in our world 🌎
 
This is super sketchy 🤔... I mean, who do they think they are telling their officers to basically ignore everyone with immigration issues? It's like they're expecting them to play cop and judge at the same time. And what's up with this "criminal nexus" thing? Who decides that for you? It feels like a recipe for abuse of power 🚫...
