In Minneapolis, a Pattern of Misconduct Toward Protesters
The New York Times • • nation
Key Points:
- A federal judge in Minneapolis ruled that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers displayed a pattern of misconduct, including excessive use of force against protesters, and ordered them to cease such actions during operations in the city.
- The ruling highlighted specific incidents such as a protester being detained with her bra removed and wedding ring cut off, the use of pepper spray without cause, and agents pointing semiautomatic weapons at a couple’s car at close range.
- Legal experts described the decision as extraordinary due to the judge’s thorough review of witness statements and video evidence, leading to a preliminary injunction to protect protesters' constitutional rights.
- The ruling comes amid growing calls from protesters and state officials for the federal government to withdraw immigration agents from Minneapolis
