Liberian man arrested in Minneapolis raid was regularly checking in with authorities, lawyer says

A judge ruled that ICE agents violated the Fourth Amendment by arresting Garrison Gibson without a judicial warrant during Minnesota's largest immigration enforcement operation.

  • On Thursday, U.S. District Judge Jeffrey Bryan ordered the release of Garrison Gibson, ruling agents violated his Fourth Amendment rights and failed to give proper notice about revoking his supervision.
  • The arrest came amid what the Department of Homeland Security called its largest Minnesota enforcement operation with more than 2,000 officers, while Garrison Gibson had a 2023 final order of removal but remained under an order of supervision.
  • Federal agents forcibly entered Gibson's home without a judicial warrant after his family demanded to see one; Gibson's wife and the couple's 9-year-old child were inside and the family spent $700 to repair the door.
  • The court has given DHS additional days to respond after Gibson's legal team filed a habeas petition, and he was quickly returned to Minnesota following a temporary transfer to Texas.
  • DHS says its officers have arrested more than 2,500 people since Nov. 29 as agency spokespeople defended Gibson's arrest amid protests sparked by the Jan. 11 video.
