Overview
- Attorney General Keith Ellison opened an online form on Jan. 15 for Minnesotans to report how federal actions, including those by ICE and CBP, have affected them.
- The Attorney General’s Office says submissions may support enforcement of state laws and could be used in its ongoing lawsuit seeking to end Operation Metro Surge.
- The form invites reports of alleged civil-rights violations such as racial profiling, excessive force, and retaliation, as well as business disruptions, reduced access to healthcare or education, and federal administrative actions like funding cuts.
- The office requests specific, detailed, firsthand accounts only, allows supporting photos or video links, and warns against sending rumors, secondhand reports, or unverified social media posts.
- Officials note the office cannot provide immigration legal representation or referrals, additional language options will be added, and the form is separate from Hennepin County’s portal collecting evidence in the killing of Renee Good.
