Not content with crimes against humanity, they also want to violate international law.

Well their dear leader is, so why wouldn't they want to do the same?

It would have been really funny if they had arrested him/her for illegally entering their sovereign territory.

Was gonna say, the ice agent was stupid enough to even make threats to the consulate. Really wish those in power would grow a spine and do what they're fucking supposed to.

Honestly, I'm kinda impressed. I didn't think you could start a diplomatic crisis wandering around Minneapolis, but ICE found a way.

Minneapolis Police Department managed it too a few years ago when they murdered an Australian dual citizen who called them for a commotion she heard next door iirc.

Remember kids, if you've got a problem and you call the cops you've now got two problems.
