Lesly Vera, a 27-year-old green card holder from Mexico, made history as the first non-U.S. citizen sworn in as a Minneapolis police officer.
Alongside her, Ikran Mohamed became the first Somali-American woman in the department.
A recent state law change enabled Vera's appointment, reflecting efforts to reverse recruitment challenges faced since George Floyd's death in 2020.
