I don't see what's wrong with this - if the passenger were breaking the law. The so called artist who filmed this is acting as if breaking federal immigration laws is a right in Minnesota. It isn't.

Transit cop caught trying to be immigration police

A Minneapolis transit cop was caught on camera asking a train passenger about his immigration status — prompting the agency to launch an internal probe to determine if the officer stepped out of bounds.

The incident on May 14 was posted to Facebook by local artist Ricardo Levins Morales and shows an unidentified, part-time Metro Transit officer asking a passenger his name while checking for proof that he paid his fare.
"What’s your name?” the officer asks. "That’s not what you gave me. Do you have a state ID? Are you here illegally?”

A NOTE FROM TIM:

Terrible, simply terrible; a policeman trying to enforce the law. Why, if that keeps happening it could get so bad people might start obeying it! Can't have THAT!
