Watch: US police chief says off duty officers caught up in ICE stops The US justice department has said it is investigating protesters who disrupted a Sunday service at a Minnesota church because they believed a pastor there worked for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Video showed protesters inside the church chanting "ICE out" and "Justice for Renee Good", the woman killed by an ICE agent in Minneapolis earlier this month.
