Minneapolis and Minnesota Sue to Curb ICE Surge as U.N. Demands Independent Probe of Fatal Shooting

Plaintiffs seek an injunction to halt what they call an overreach of federal power.

Overview

  • The city of Minneapolis and the State of Minnesota filed suit seeking a court order to remove or limit ICE deployments, arguing the operations violate state law and the U.S. Constitution.
  • Illinois launched a parallel legal challenge targeting the administration’s immigration enforcement tactics in its jurisdiction.
  • After a weekend of nationwide protests, the federal government defended the ICE agent’s actions as self-defense and sent hundreds more federal personnel to Minneapolis following an initial surge of about 2,000 officers.
  • The U.N. human rights office called for a rapid, independent and transparent investigation, noting lethal force is a last resort under international law, and the FBI is investigating the shooting.
  • AFP verified that a widely shared video purporting to show Renée Good celebrating Charlie Kirk’s killing was an AI-generated deepfake, highlighting disinformation circulating about the case.
