US EditionMinnesota launches investigation that could bring charges against federal immigration officers
Hennepin County is investigating 17 incidents of potential illegal acts by federal immigration agents during a recent enforcement surge, with a public portal gathering community evidence.
- On March 2, 2026, Hennepin County launched the TAP portal to gather evidence of alleged federal misconduct during Operation Metro Surge, as announced during a news conference.
- Because the earlier Good and Pretti portal `served its purpose and been closed`, the county responded to federal withholding of case files about their deaths, Moriarty said.
- The TAP team is actively investigating 17 community-submitted incidents, including ICE activity at Roosevelt High School on Jan. 8 and Gregory Kent Bovino’s actions near Mueller Park on Jan. 21–22.
- Facing Supremacy Clause issues, the office states `We will investigate and pursue charging where appropriate, and we'll seek collaboration with local law enforcement wherever and whenever needed`, Moriarty said.
- This is the second portal Hennepin County has launched; `There are many victims whose stories need to be told`, Mary Moriarty said, and evidence can be submitted via the Hennepin County Attorney's website as they coordinate with Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison.
