What's the likelihood established local news never reports on this?
ICE agents abducted a father in front of the Richfield Best Buy building and just left his kids in the minivan. Richfield cops took them inside a nearby restaurant to wait for the kid’s family to pick them up. Not entirely sure if RPD was working with ICE or not but a shit situation either way.
