Judge curbs federal crackdown as Minnesota protests hinge on ICE shootings
TL;DR
A federal judge in Minnesota issued a preliminary injunction restricting agents in Operation Metro Surge, barring arrests or the use of pepper spray and limiting crowd-control measures against peaceful protesters. The order, applicable only in Minnesota and to the current operation, also blocks stop-and-detain actions without reasonable suspicion. The ruling comes as protests continue after two ICE shootings in Minneapolis, including the fatal shooting of Renee Good, and as the DOJ investigates Gov. Walz and Mayor Frey for possible obstruction of federal law enforcement.
