Susan Tincher, a 55-year-old American citizen, was arrested for watching ICE officers arrest three of her neighbors in Minneapolis, Minnesota, reports MPR News:
She appears to be the first observer arrested by federal law enforcement officers since the agency launched an immigration surge in the Twin Cities last Monday. ICE spokespeople did not respond to a request for comment or confirm the arrests…
Video shared with MPR News shows three officers escorting Tincher to an unmarked truck as observers yell, “Where are you taking her?” Agents don’t appear to respond.
Tincher said agents told her in the truck that if she didn’t watch herself “they were going to pull me over to the side of the road and give me this OC,” law enforcement shorthand for pepper spray.
