Overview
- Federal authorities say an ICE agent shot and wounded a Venezuelan man during a targeted operation in north Minneapolis, with both the man and the agent hospitalized after a struggle and subsequent barricade and arrests.
- Large demonstrations and street confrontations continued, with federal agents deploying tear gas and a new cellphone video showing an officer striking a man’s face with repeated knee blows.
- A federal judge declined Minnesota’s request for a temporary restraining order that sought to curb ICE operations in the Twin Cities, leaving the broader enforcement campaign in place for now.
- In a separate ruling reported Friday, a federal court barred ICE from arresting observers or protesters absent suspicion of interference or a crime and prohibited the use of tear gas or pepper spray against those individuals.
- President Trump warned he is prepared to invoke the Insurrection Act to restore order in Minnesota, and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said he has the constitutional authority to do so.
