Overview
- U.S. District Judge Katherine Menendez issued an 83-page injunction barring ICE and CBP from arresting peaceful protesters or using tear gas or pepper spray in the Minneapolis area.
- The order restricts vehicle stops near demonstrations to situations with reasonable suspicion and gives the Department of Homeland Security 72 hours to implement the changes.
- Metro Surge operations continue under the court’s restrictions, with reports citing nearly 3,000 federal officers deployed in the Twin Cities.
- Multiple outlets report a Justice Department inquiry into Governor Tim Walz and Mayor Jacob Frey over alleged obstruction of federal agents, which the department has not publicly confirmed.
- President Trump threatened to invoke the Insurrection Act before saying he sees no current need, as tensions also include a separate ICE shooting that wounded a Venezuelan man.
