A top U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)<\/a> official on Friday rejected the “false narrative” surrounding an incident involving a 5-year-old boy in Minnesota, while also asserting that an anti-ICE mob that recently stormed a church was not peaceful.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A photo of a young child standing next to a black vehicle has gone viral this week following an enforcement operation in the Minneapolis area. ICE and the Department of Homeland Security said Thursday that the child was “abandoned” by his father, not targeted by federal immigration agents.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“It’s\u00a0a shame to see politicians and activists spreading fear in their own communities by creating a false narrative about what we do and who we are and who we arrest,” ICE Executive Assistant Director of Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) Marcos Charles said Friday. \u00a0<\/p>\n

“One of our officers stayed\u00a0behind with\u00a0that child while other officers apprehended his father. After conducting the arrest, my officers stayed with the child. They cared for him. Took him to get something to eat from a drive-through\u00a0restaurant\u00a0and spent hours ensuring he was taken care of. Again, my officers did that,\u00a0not\u00a0his father,” Charles added.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“My officers did everything they could to reunite him with his family. Tragically, when we approached the door of his residence, the people inside refused to take him in and open the door,” Charles continued. “Let me say it again. They saw the young\u00a0boy, and they\u00a0refused to open the door and take him back.<\/p>\n

“This is the human side of the job\u00a0that my officers do. They are family\u00a0men\u00a0and women. They have children of their own. They sacrifice everything for their families. I\u00a0know for a fact\u00a0that they were heartbroken to see the child’s own family leave him\u00a0behind. Fortunately, [Adrian Alexander]\u00a0Conejo\u00a0Arias\u00a0eventually\u00a0requested\u00a0that his child stay with him,” he added.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“We do everything in our power\u00a0not\u00a0to separate families.\u00a0So,\u00a0they took him back together …\u00a0to the\u00a0ICE\u00a0facility for processing. And now they are being well cared for\u00a0at a\u00a0family residential center,\u00a0pending their immigration proceedings,” Charles concluded. “This is the real face of\u00a0ICE ERO,\u00a0Border\u00a0Patrol\u00a0and our allied partners. The media\u00a0doesn’t\u00a0know our\u00a0officers,\u00a0we do. My officers do the right thing\u00a0no matter how\u00a0difficult\u00a0or how long it takes throughout the day.”<\/p>\n

Charles also spoke out against the behavior of an anti-ICE mob that stormed a church in St. Paul<\/a> earlier this week.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Attorney General Pam Bondi announced multiple arrests<\/a> in relation to that incident Thursday, including Nekima Levy Armstrong, whom Bondi said, “allegedly played a key role in organizing the coordinated attack on Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota.”<\/p>\n

“Federal law protects the freedom of religion and the right to worship without interference. What these agitators did was\u00a0not\u00a0a peaceful protest,” Charles said Friday. “They rioted\u00a0at church services. They screamed and harassed\u00a0children. They denied Minnesotans the ability to worship peacefully.<\/p>\n

“I’ve\u00a0been in law enforcement for 33 years now, and this is the first time\u00a0I’ve\u00a0ever seen a protest in a church where\u00a0they’re\u00a0harassing individuals trying to peacefully worship.\u00a0It’s\u00a0disturbing to know that these individuals would target sacred spaces and viciously harass innocent families. Sacred spaces must be respected.”\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
