You’d have hoped that by now, the media wouldn’t take MPD’s word as gospel when they put out a press release.

CM Chavez continues to ask Chief O’Hara to provide specifics on the claims he made and continues to be met with silence.
In addition to getting this after-action request passed yesterday, I have sent multiple requests to MPD Chief Brian O’Hara regarding the public statement he released on Wednesday. In his statement, he said the following: “There was irresponsible misinformation shared on social media by some officials—statements made without gathering basic facts. That kind of rhetoric is harmful and only served to inflame tensions, increasing the danger to everyone involved. Elected officials have a responsibility to provide accurate information, especially during tense situations.” I asked the chief to elaborate on what statements were made, and which elected officials he was referring to, so I can understand what he meant by “misinformation.” While I will not pretend to be aware of all content that was shared on Tuesday, I did not notice misinformation being shared by elected officials. Considering the absence of direct communication from the chief on Tuesday, I know that many of us on the council were intentional with our words. Further, I asked the chief for this information as it would be helpful to understand exactly what comments he was referring to so that I, other council members, and the chief have a shared understanding on his definition of “misinformation.” I have also reached out to my colleagues on the Council to learn whether they’ve heard from the chief regarding potential harmful content they may have shared. As of now, I am not aware of any council members who have heard direct concerns from him. Chief O’Hara’s statement included a serious accusation to make while excluding the exact comments that he believed caused harm. More importantly, it offered no clarity on what specifically the chief would have liked to see differently. While the lack of engagement from the chief directly has been puzzling, I believe it’s in Ward 9 residents’ best interest—as well as those of the city as a whole—for Chief O’Hara to receive direct feedback from me regarding MPD’s participation with federal agencies, including ICE. I felt that it was important for the chief to understand the immediate impacts already felt by our community and the full cost the City took on with its actions. Unfortunately, in Chief O’Hara’s response to my questions, he did not provide an answer as to which elected officials shared misinformation and what that misinformation was, and he ignored my follow-up request for information. Further, while we were debating the after-action review at yesterday’s Council meeting, I asked him from the dais to whom and what he was referring. This morning, I followed up with the chief for a fourth time, again asking him to name the elected officials he accused of spreading “irresponsible misinformation,” and to provide specifics on what misinformation was shared. It’s easy to make claims such as those that he made in a press release; but when you do that, my position is that it’s fair to be held accountable for such serious allegations. The chief’s refusal to answer my questions speaks volumes to me. I agree with the chief when he said that, “elected officials have a responsibility to provide accurate information,” but I believe also that unelected officials, such as the Chief of Police, have the same responsibility. I will keep you updated if and when I get answers from Chief O’Hara to the questions that I have repeatedly asked of him.

Everyone in charge has said it was not an immigration operation but a criminal warrant.
I’m sorry, unless they just stopped 9/11 2.0 this was an insanely disproportionate response

The people, united, scared the everliving CRAP out of the jumped-up rent-a-cops of ICE.

now they are denying it was even an immigration action and acting like they didn't come with three massive armored vehicles and enough zip ties to make mass arrests.

get out there and make their job miserable. love to my minneapolis people who brought megaphones and stood out there in the rain.

I am at Bloomington and Lake to understand whats taking place this morning. On scene are DHS, ICE, FBI, Sheriffs, and MPD. No matter the reason, one thing is clear: this display of force is designed to strike fear at the very heart of MPLS. We stand in solidarity against it.

I would really like to know what Jacob Frey was doing today that he thought was more important than showing up for his city.

I think it’s very important to draw gay art and have gay sex right now. Give it a try, if you haven’t already. This is my advice for today.
