He said he was against ICE because he was raised Catholic but I think there are other reasons!Brian said that he meets monthly with imams and community leaders at Mercy Mosque in South Minneapolis to keep the Somali community safe. Isn't that nice?Earlier this week Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara held a press conference about ICE where he urged people to call 911 if they see ICE because they could be "kidnapping" Somalis. His wife was online defending her husband.In the Newark Police Department - O'Hara allowed officers to wear a hijab, a religious piece of headwear that is traditionally adopted by Muslim women.“This change, which allows our Muslim female officers to wear the hijab in uniform, is appropriate and timely.”Brian was hired by Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey after George Floyd.

When it comes to personal information, Wikipedia conspicuously whitewashes O'Hara's marital status and wife's name, who is a Newark Police Lieutenant.
Merrick Garland sure has his army of communist lieutenants out there, doesn't he? Not a good look for O'Hara, who claims to be a Catholic. But Catholics actually have a conscience. O'Hara sold his somewhere enroute to Police Chief in Minneapolis.
Maybe 1187 miles and almost 18 hours is not enough to distance himself from his wife's position and his early positions in Newark.
There is enough information online about O'Hara's wife, Wafiyyah O'Hara.
Wafiyyah O'Hara is a respected police officer, currently a Lieutenant in the Newark Police Department, and is known as the wife of Brian O'Hara, the Chief of the Minneapolis Police Department. She is a high-ranking Black and Muslim woman in law enforcement and has served alongside her husband in Newark, participating in community events, and supporting his career as he leads significant reforms in Minneapolis
new jersey city hall recently took down the american flag and put a palestinian one up as i recall ...
Peggy Traeger Tierney gives us a decent update,
The new Minneapolis Police Chief, Brian O'Hara, is from Newark PD and his wife, Wafiyyah O’Hara, is a Sergeant [now lieutenant, which is a higher ranking] in New Jersey. She is the highest ranking Muslim woman there and she still lives there.No wonder Brian doesn't like ICE.
