    |   
    | MPR News has learned that the police chief in the small   
    | southern Minnesota city of St. Peter intervened Thursday to   
    | prevent federal immigration agents from taking a local   
    | resident into detention, although the city of St. Peter   
    | denied the intervention in a statement Saturday.   
    |   
    | It's believed to be the first time a local police   
    | department in Minnesota intervened in a federal law   
    | enforcement action since the surge in immigration   
    | enforcement began two months ago.   
    |   
    | The resident, a woman, had been observing and recording   
    | video of immigration enforcement actions from her car   
    | Thursday afternoon when agents took her into custody.   
    |   
    | The woman, who did not want to be identified because she   
    | fears for her safety, is a U.S. citizen and a resident of   
    | St. Peter. She told MPR News in an interview that she was   
    | out in the community in her car, tracking the movements of   
    | federal agents, and recording them on a dash cam.   
    |   
    | She shared that video with MPR News. Agents in three   
    | vehicles began chasing her and trying to force her to pull   
    | over. Eventually they box her in, three agents get out of   
    | the car in front of her, with their guns drawn and they try   
    | to force her out of her vehicle.
