On Friday, the St. Peter police chief did not respond to additional questions about his involvement in the incident, but on Saturday, the city of St. Peter put out a statement denying that the chief intervened on the resident’s behalf.

“The Saint Peter police department did not participate in, coordinate with or intervene in any federal enforcement activity,” the statement said.

”Federal immigration authorities dropped the individual off at the police department. Police Chief Grochow then ensured the resident was safely transported home and offered assistance, as we would for any member of our community,” it added.
