US judge orders curbs on ICE agents’ actions against Minnesota protesters
AI Summary
A U.S. federal judge in Minnesota issued an injunction on January 17, 2026, curbing the actions of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents against protesters and observers in Minneapolis. The order follows rising tensions and the fatal shooting of a local activist by an ICE agent earlier in the month. The injunction prohibits agents from retaliating against peaceful protesters, including arresting or detaining individuals without reasonable suspicion of criminal activity. It also bans the use of crowd-control munitions like pepper spray and tear gas against peaceful demonstrators or bystanders observing ICE operations. The Department of Homeland Security has 72 hours to comply with the ruling, which is seen as a victory for local activists protesting the deployment of 2,000 immigration agents to the area by the Trump administration.
