Overview
- The State of Minnesota and the cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul filed an 81‑page federal lawsuit seeking a temporary restraining order to halt or limit ICE’s ‘Metro Surge,’ alleging constitutional violations and politically motivated targeting.
- DHS and ICE describe the campaign as one of their largest, report more than 2,000 arrests since December, and plan to send hundreds more agents to Minnesota after deploying roughly two thousand already.
- The U.N. human rights office called for a rapid, independent and transparent investigation into Renee Good’s killing, stressing that lethal force is a last resort against an imminent threat to life.
- Street protests and confrontations continued, with federal agents using tear gas in Minneapolis on Monday to clear a crowd after a collision involving ICE vehicles and later guarding a federal building as tensions flared.
- The White House and DHS say the agent acted in self‑defense, a stance disputed by Minnesota officials who cite videos of the incident, as state leaders also complain they have been sidelined from the FBI inquiry.
