US EditionCourt lifts restrictions on immigration officers’ tactics in Minnesota
- On Wednesday, Jan. 21, the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals lifted a lower court order, pausing limits on federal agents' tactics and letting ICE operate without Judge Kate Menendez's restrictions.
- Menendez's injunction followed lawsuits by Minnesota, Minneapolis, St. Paul and an American Civil Liberties Union case filed on behalf of six plaintiffs amid unrest after Renee Good's fatal shooting.
- The U.S. Department of Justice and FBI served grand jury subpoenas on Jan. 20 seeking records and testimony from Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, and Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison as part of a broader criminal probe.
- Minnesota officials immediately criticized the decision as partisan intimidation while Attorney General Pam Bondi hailed the appeals court's pause as a victory for Operation Metro Surge.
- With protests scheduled, the unsigned appeals court order leaves the injunction's long-term scope uncertain as organizers of the 'ICE out of Minneapolis' protest call for a 'No Work, No School and No Shopping' march on Friday, Jan. 23.
