ICE officers apparently went to St. Paul resident Elizabeth Lugert-Thom's home last week, according to a report from The Chicago Tribune. She warned in a Facebook post about the encounter where agents who were not wearing identification badges or disclosing their names asked her to share the location of any Hmong or Asian neighbors after they asked about a person they were searching for in the area.


“They said, ‘This is for your safety. We need to find this person,’” Lugert-Thom told The Tribune.

Lugert-Thom told the agents she did not know the alleged suspect. That's when the masked officers shifted their request.

“They specifically asked me if I knew where the Hmong families lived on my street and in the neighborhood,” she added, explaining that she evaded their questions and did not share any neighbor names with them. .......................................
