This is important and, also, not not new. There were reports of this in LA, Portland, and Chicago, at least, as well.
Just so people outside of MN know - a lot of the US citizens getting “arrested” by ICE never get processed at Whipple. They are roughed up during the arrest and then often dropped off miles from where they were picked up. It means we don’t know the true scale of what ICE is doing based on ICE stats

The day after Renee Nicole Good’s death, Kristi Noem quietly ordered new restrictions on congressional visits to immigration detention facilities.
That order, revealed in court late Saturday, forces lawmakers to seek a week's advance notice before conducting oversight visits to ICE facilities.

He uses the phrase "to my eyes" as though it's some sort of preliminary exonerative subjectification of the facts. That kind of anticipatory shielding betrays what he really knows to be true.
Peter Thiel's personal bootlicker says the unarmed woman shot in the face by a masked agent of the state was "a standard issue white liberal activist who didn't think the law applied to her" who "drove directly" at the officer.
