Court lifts restrictions on immigration officers’ tactics in Minnesota

The 8th Circuit paused a lower-court order restricting federal officers' use of tear gas and other tactics against peaceful protesters during a major immigration enforcement operation.

  • On January 21, 2026, Vice President JD Vance will visit Minneapolis on Thursday to deliver a `law and order` speech, The National News Desk reported.
  • Earlier this month, an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent killed Minneapolis resident Renee Nicole Good during an operation after she confronted officers and fled in her car, reports said.

  • A White House official told The National News Desk that protests in Minneapolis have intensified and Vance would link sanctuary-policy criticism to ICE's role, the report said.
