US EditionUS Judge Restricts ICE Response to Minneapolis Protesters
Judge Menendez's order prohibits ICE agents from arresting or using crowd control on peaceful protesters and limits vehicle stops without reasonable suspicion, amid ongoing protests.
- On Friday, Judge Katherine Menendez ruled that Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents cannot arrest or pepper spray peaceful demonstrators in Minneapolis, Minnesota, in an 83-page federal order issued Friday night.
- The ruling stems from a December lawsuit by protesters and comes ahead of planned weekend protests in Minneapolis following the fatal shooting of Renee Good earlier this month, with reported clashes between protesters and federal officers.
- The order also limits vehicle stops lacking reasonable suspicion, barring stopping drivers and passengers without reasonable articulable suspicion and stating safely following ICE agents does not justify a stop.
- State and federal officials reacted sharply to the court order as the Minnesota National Guard was placed on alert and the DOJ announced investigations into Governor Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, with Walz calling it 'Weaponizing the justice system against your opponents is an authoritarian tactic'.
- The order constrains ICE enforcement tactics during protests, potentially affecting federal immigration enforcement and public-safety responses in Minneapolis amid ongoing clashes and large-scale demonstrations.
