UN Demands Independent Probe Into Minneapolis ICE Killing as DHS Sends More Agents

Minnesota and the Twin Cities have asked a federal judge to curb what ICE calls its largest deployment, arguing the campaign violates constitutional rights.

Overview

  • DHS says more than 2,000 immigration agents are operating in Minnesota, and officials have ordered hundreds more to the area.
  • The state, Minneapolis and St. Paul filed an 81-page lawsuit seeking a temporary restraining order to halt or limit the operation under First Amendment and other claims.
  • UN human rights spokesperson Jeremy Laurence called for a rapid, independent and transparent investigation into Renee Nicole Good’s death and noted the FBI inquiry.
  • Confrontations continued Monday, with agents using tear gas after an ICE-involved vehicle collision and later outside a federal building, leading to multiple arrests.
  • The White House and DHS defended the agent’s actions as necessary against a vehicle threat, a view disputed by Minnesota leaders citing videos, as reports of limited evidence-sharing and resignations by some prosecutors added to scrutiny.
