On Friday, September 26, an incident occurred involving law enforcement officers resulting in the arrest of a suspect as part of a local investigation. After the arrest, rumors of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) involvement began to spread. This operation did not involve U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) or any other federal agency.
Sworn officers from the Moorhead Police Department were present in the arrest. As the investigation remains ongoing, we are unable to release further details at this time.
The Moorhead Police Department strongly believes in being a good partner with all law enforcement agencies, regardless of if they are local, state or federal. The Moorhead Police Department carefully considers all requests for assistance and any decision to assist is made on a case-by-case basis.
