Overview
- Minnesota, Minneapolis and St. Paul filed a federal lawsuit seeking a temporary restraining order to halt or limit the ICE/DHS operation, alleging First Amendment and other constitutional violations.
- DHS has committed more than 2,000 immigration agents to Minnesota in what ICE calls its largest deployment to date, and federal officials announced plans to send hundreds more despite local pleas to de‑escalate.
- Protests and confrontations continued, with agents using tear gas in Minneapolis after a vehicle collision involving federal officers and videos circulating of forceful detentions that fueled public outrage.
- The White House and DHS defended the agent who shot Renee Nicole Good and the broader operation; the FBI is investigating as the UN human rights office urged a rapid, independent and transparent inquiry.
- Several outlets reported resignations by federal prosecutors in Minnesota linked to pressure over the case, though these accounts have not been fully confirmed.
