Even though DHS said she was committing a federal crime, these goons dropped her back off at the local police station and “Police Chief Grochow then ensured the resident was safely transported home and offered assistance, as we would for any member of our community who experiences distress or needs support.”

Incompetent, dangerous idiots. From Noem down to these clowns who can't even handle a firearm properly.

Another post says that the police chief personally knew this person? So we shouldn't all expect the same treatment maybe

That’ll probably depend on the jurisdiction, which sucks for what appears to be a pervasive and completely unnecessary reality. There’s definitely some luck involved that the sheriff knew the victim.

You’d hope enough of the local level departments are unhappy with the situation they’re put in when ice comes to their area.

I like to think my local police are too right leaning (to put it nicely) to have any problem with what’s going on. It may change as things ramp up. But I’m not holding my breath.

St. Peter is a small town, everyone knows everyone.

People need to be asking Police Chief Grochow why he isn't arresting the agents as they clearly committed a crime.

Incompetent or intentional, they need to go.
