Minnesota Sues Over ICE Operations as White House Sends More Agents to Minneapolis

The filing challenges a large-scale federal crackdown linked to Renée Good’s killing, with the FBI inquiry still open.

Overview

  • Gov. officials said hundreds more federal agents will deploy to Minneapolis today and tomorrow, adding to roughly 2,000 already on the ground.
  • The state, Minneapolis and St. Paul sued to halt the ‘Metro Surge,’ alleging illegal, militarized detentions in public spaces including schools and hospitals.
  • The White House defended the ICE agent and accused protesters of obstructing law enforcement, claims disputed by local leaders and video of the shooting.
  • Nationwide demonstrations continued with more than 1,000 actions reported, as organizers call for accountability and changes to immigration enforcement.
  • At the Golden Globes, celebrities including Mark Ruffalo, Wanda Sykes and Jean Smart amplified the #BeGood campaign with ‘Be Good’ and ‘ICE Out’ pins.
