BORTAC officer with SABRE pepper spray in Minneapolis

A Border Patrol Tactical Unit (BORTAC) officer is shown holding a SABRE pepper spray canister in Minneapolis. This incident occurred during Operation Metro Surge, a federal operation that involved ICE agents. The operation led to a controversial traffic stop where federal agents reportedly rammed a vehicle and demanded identification from a Latino man, only releasing him when they confirmed he was a U.S. citizen. The use of federal agents in local law enforcement actions, particularly in urban environments, has been a subject of public debate and scrutiny.
