LOL: Minnesota County To Probe Federal Immigration Enforcement

Maybe they should be probing the illegal aliens? How about the fake asylum seekers and refugees involved in mass fraud?

Minnesota county launches online portal to probe immigration enforcement abuse allegations

Former U.S. Border Patrol Commander Greg Bovino’s use of a chemical irritant on Minnesotans protesting large-scale immigration operations is one of several incidents being investigated by the Hennepin County Attorney’s Office.

The investigation is part of a new initiative to collect and assess evidence submitted by the public to identify “potentially unlawful behavior by federal agents” during Operation Metro Surge in Minnesota, Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty announced on Monday.

Through the Transparency and Accountability Project’s online portal, the public can “share photos, videos, and descriptions of any incidents that may involve unlawful conduct by federal agents,” Moriarty said in a statement. The project is staffed by county prosecutors and a civilian investigator.

That team “is actively investigating 17 incidents that have been brought to our attention by the community, including Gregory Kent Bovino’s actions near Mueller Park on January 21,” Moriarty said. “We will investigate and pursue charging where appropriate, and we’ll seek collaboration with local law enforcement wherever and whenever needed.”

First off, it would be hilarious if Los Federales used those submitted photos, videos, and descriptions to locate and detain the pro-illegal idiots who attacked federal law enforcement. Second, what, exactly, does the Hennepin County Attorney’s Office think they are going to do against federal officers who were performing their jobs on government time? They’re a county for one thing, and the federal LEOs are shielded with qualified immunity for another. Only if they’ve done something horrendously wrong per federal code can the federal govt come after the LEOs. The same way the Hennepin County Attorney’s Office is.

NBC News has reached out to Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Protection about the Hennepin County investigations into the incidents, including Bovino’s, but did not immediately receive a response.

A Department of Homeland Security spokesperson said in a statement that the inquiry into Bovino’s immigration enforcement tactics “does nothing to make Minnesota safer. Enforcing federal immigration laws is a clear federal responsibility under Article I, Article II and the Supremacy Clause.”

I understand DHS also said that Hennepin County should go play in their sandbox.

“What these states are trying to do is unlawful, and they know it,” the spokesperson continued. “Federal officials acting in the course of their duties are immune from liability under state law.”

Oops. It would be funny after all the arrests and Dem Crazy in support of illegals if Trump said “we are not going to arrest illegals in Hennepin County (which includes Minneapolis), we’re designating it a sanctuary county, so, all illegals should stream to the county.” Let them enjoy the fruits of their pro-illegal criminal beliefs.

Meanwhile

I guess the rich folks in Cary are upset that ICE would detain all the illegals that do their laws, be nannies, and do maintenance at below normal rates.
