Michigan police group apologizes for 'woke scum' post about Minneapolis [View all]

Lansing — The Police Officers Association of Michigan issued an apology Tuesday for a Facebook post that referenced sticking "it to the woke scum" and giving "the ultimate middle finger" to the "open border mob."

On Sunday, the controversial post first appeared on the page of the association, which represents thousands of Michigan police officers. It focused on claims that conservative musician Ted Nugent was going to purchase food for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents in Minnesota.

The post, which was later deleted, said some restaurants in the state were refusing to serve people who work for ICE, amid a crackdown by President Donald Trump's administration.

"He's personally bankrolling enough ribs, brisket, pulled pork and sausage to feed an army of real American warriors doing the dirty work the left hates," the association's post said of Nugent. "This is the ultimate middle finger to the anti-ICE, open border mob that would rather coddle criminals than back the men and women protecting our country."
