My email to Richfield Officials and Mayor Supple’s response. It seems the Mayor’s response is that RPD does not work with ICE unless they do. No answer on why RPD cops are telling Richfield residents about this “3 block rule.”

I’ve reached out to Richfield Mayor Mary Supple, RPD Police Chief Jay Henthorne and Richfield Communications Manager Kate Aitchison for comment and clarification about what RPD’s relationship with ICE is and where this three block rule came from.

Some general rules if stopped:

Be calm.
Ask what law you’re breaking
Ask if you’re detained, if not you can leave
Do not argue - document everything - your phone should be recording the entire time

Just to follow up here, there is no such thing as a three block rule. You have to physically block or create a safety issue. That doesn’t mean ICE won’t assault you and put you in hand cuffs. Be safe out there and maybe buy some body armor.

In any case, exercise your second amendment right and buy a gun because it’s not the job of the police to protect you, which is why they don’t.
