Moriarty: "A police officer of color who was off duty was boxed in by ICE - she's a citizen - they demanded to know who she was & see her papers. She was going to try to record it & they ripped the phone out of her hand. That happened to a cop. That's what's happening here on the streets of MN."

ICE detain U.S. Army Purple Heart Veteran for hours—deny access to lawyer.

Agents gang tackle him to ground—severely injure his face.

"They did offer me a band-aid," he said. "But I’d rather have a lawyer than band-aid when being detained."
