- KSTP’s review of Minnesota court records found 11 convictions tied to three men and no Minnesota records for several others, which could reflect out-of-state cases.
- DHS released names and alleged histories, and four men listed with no prior criminal history were arrested on new allegations that include aggravated assault, domestic violence and DUI.
- An Apple Valley mother’s attorney says she previously received withholding of removal, reports she is being moved to Crow Wing County Jail, and plans to seek a bond hearing and potentially file a habeas petition.
