Overview
- U.S. District Judge Kate Menendez barred ICE in Minnesota from detaining peaceful protesters in vehicles and from using pepper spray, with a 72-hour deadline for compliance.
- President Trump said he sees no reason for now to invoke the Insurrection Act after threatening to deploy the military to Minneapolis a day earlier.
- Minneapolis and the State of Minnesota have sued the administration over large-scale ICE operations, and the ACLU filed its own action alleging civil-rights violations.
- ICE has added hundreds of agents to roughly 2,000 already in the state as protests continue, including clashes after an agent shot a Venezuelan man in the leg in what DHS called a defensive shot.
- The confrontation follows the Jan. 7 killing of Renee Nicole Good during an ICE operation, as her family launches a civil inquiry and parallel federal investigations proceed.
