Prostitution Ring

(Fox News) - Law enforcement officials in the Minneapolis-Saint Paul area busted a major prostitution ring over the weekend, arresting more than two dozen people — many of them illegal immigrants.

The investigation was coordinated by federal agencies, Minnesota's Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, and the Saint Paul police.

But even though most of the brothels were in Minneapolis — that city's police did not take part in the investigation or arrests — staying outside the buildings and helping only with security.

That's because Minneapolis has a policy forbidding its officers from participating in immigration cases. Mayor R.T. Rybak says he remains, "absolutely committed to our policy of separating our police from immigration."

And he is upset that some federal agents wore shirts saying "Police" during the raids. He has asked them not to do that — but they have refused — saying "police" is a universal term for law enforcement officers.
