Minnesota Seeks Court Order to Halt ICE’s ‘Metro Surge’ as UN Calls for Independent Inquiry

State leaders ask a judge to stop the crackdown, citing constitutional violations.

Overview

  • Minnesota, Minneapolis and St. Paul filed a federal lawsuit seeking a temporary restraining order to stop or limit ICE operations following the fatal shooting of Renee Nicole Good.
  • DHS says the campaign is ICE’s largest to date, reporting more than 2,000 arrests and plans for over 2,000 agents in Minnesota, with senior officials publicly defending the operation.
  • Confrontations escalated in the Twin Cities as agents used tear gas to disperse crowds near an ICE traffic incident, while protests and vigils continued across the United States.
  • The UN human rights office urged a rapid, independent and transparent investigation into Good’s death, noting international standards on lethal force and calling for steps to reduce tensions.
  • U.S. reporting identified the firing agent as Jonathan Ross, a longtime DHS veteran, as Minnesota officials challenged the federal account based on videos reviewed by state and city leaders.
