'You Promised': Pastor Confronts Minneapolis Police Chief For Working With ICE During Raid [View all]
Pastor Ingrid Rasmussen confronted Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara during a federal raid on a community in South Minneapolis on Tuesday. In emotional footage published by Sahan Journal, Rasmussen can be seen confronting O'Hara about breaking his promise to her, apparently in her church, that his department would build better relations with the community.
"You stand in my church...You're not listening to me. You stand in my church. You promised a better relationship," Rasmussen yelled as O'Hara worked to disperse a crowd of protestors. Rasmussen is lead pastor at the Holy Trinity Lutheran Church in Minneapolis.
Multiple federal law enforcement agencies, including ICE, FBI, ATF, DEA, Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), and the Hennepin County Sheriff’s Office, outfitted in fully militarized uniforms and gear, raided a Mexican restaurant Tuesday morning on the corner of Bloomington Avenue and East Lake Street; the same neighborhood that faced violent protests following the murder of George Floyd nearly five years to the day.
Members of the community responded rapidly; blocking the path of the federal agents as they tried to drive away after raiding the Las Cuatro Milpas restaurant on East Lake Street. The situation quickly turned chaotic as the crowd threw trash, bottles, and even tires at the federal agents. Tear gas was reportedly used against the crowd.
