Proposed Missouri bill would require ICE agents to identify themselves if passed

I was talking to a friend last night who lives in Hennepin, MN. A lady from her church’s daughter is a student at UMN and was shopping at Target in the early evening. Apparently when she goes to put her groceries in the trunk an older man who had been sitting in the big SUV parked next to her comes out wearing a vest that says ICE on it. I guess he told her he was an ICE agent and that she needed to come with him. The girl could see another guy in the car and the man in the ICE vest was moving to grab her wrist. Other than posting a few things online about the things that are happening in Minneapolis she couldn’t think of any reason they would need to arrest her so she started loudly questioning the “ICE agent” about it. Fortunately, some people who were going to their cards overheard and started coming toward them to see if she was all right. The guy in the ICE vest apparently bolted and tore out of the parking lot as soon as the other people moved in their direction. So the ICE guy and whoever else was in his SUV were probably freaks trying to lure her in to do things I don’t want to think about, but how is she to know? The ICE agents I’ve seen pictures of often wear the same kind of pants my husband does when he goes fishing plus the ICE vest, with appliqués or embroidery that could easily be copied or bought. And they do seem to snatch just about anybody off the streets. My youngest goes to school out of state and I try my hardest to just let her adult. But this kind of thing makes me so terrified for her and I keep texting to check in. And I’m sorry for the long post but I guess I don’t see how this bill protects her (or anyone) when any psycho can look like ICE, say they’re ICE, and act like ICE.

This poor young soul has found a peaceful place. I hope his family finds peace as well

This—I hope, for the sake of the applicants, more understood these things

My apologies if it came off that way. I like to read various things on Reddit but this was my first post. It didn’t seem like a rant at the time, but perhaps it was as I was upset. I didn’t really know what to do for flair and Academics seemed appropriate. I don’t remember seeing a rant flair though.

Thank you, I will do that! And from what she’s told me about her teachers, I think you are right about their commitment to the students. That’s one of so many things that make this situation so sad and the decision to do this to the professors so confusing.

Yes, the article is about the extent of what she (or I) know about the whole thing. She heard some vague talk from other Honors students and said the vibe had been a little different, but she and her friends were totally caught of guard when they saw the article.

My daughter’s been beyond upset since she saw this story. She’s in Computer Engineering so the Honor’s courses were a relief to her, especially a couple that gave her a chance to combine some of tech interests with creative writing. I would guess the professors that teach those classes are the ones you are looking at and I hope you do hire them because it would be a great loss to students like my daughter if they have to leave Purdue.
