A neighbor noticed two unmarked but federal looking vehicles in the neighborhood parked near the elementary school.
Another neighbor approached the vehicles to inquire. Found out they were FBI, not ICE.
A different neighbor verified the plates against a independently constructed database of known ICE/DHS/FBI vehicles. Confirmed that both were present at known ICE activity and spotted in and out of Whipple (ICE Headquarters) but could have been FBI in assist mode.
Neighbors verified directly with FBI Supervisor that this was, indeed, Minneapolis FBI and they were exercising a federal search warrant. These were local agents that have nothing to do with ICE or immigration (and, yet, vehicles spotted near such — lying, liars who lie).
A neighbor updated the group to say this was a legit non-immigration judicial warrant allegedly investigating someone who shined a laser pointer at a commercial airplane (per the warrant). Search was executed, all back to normal.
This was all within an hour on our neighborhood listserv. This is the reality we’ve lived in for months. This is still the reality we live in here.
