Morphine Prince 109,709 Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 MINNEAPOLIS, Jan 27 (Reuters) - A U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent tried to get into Ecuador's consulate in Minneapolis on Tuesday but was prevented from entering the premises by consulate staffers, the country's Foreign Ministry said. The attempted entry prompted the Foreign Ministry to send a "note of protest" to the U.S. Embassy in Quito, the Ecuadorean capital, demanding such incidents "not be repeated," the ministry said in a statement. The statement carried a headline referring to the incident as an "attempted incursion into the Ecuadorean Consulate in Minneapolis by ICE agents." It said the consulate staff members' actions to prevent ICE entry ensured the protection of Ecuadorean nationals who were in the building at the time.

PartySick 172,972 Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 Isn't this basically a recipe for an international incident? Embassies and bases are treated as territory shared by the host nation and the nation being stationed/represented there, no? In other words...did some American fake-cop/real-nazi just basically invade Ecuador? Whimsical bitch 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Embassies and consulates are treated as part of the souverign teritory of the host country, but special do protections apply. Strictly speaking, the Ecuadorian Consulate in US is US territory (this does not negate the fact that legally it has a special status, even if not as an Ecuadorian exclave or overseas posession).
