Judge rules feds in Minneapolis immigration operation can’t detain or tear gas peaceful protesters | AP News

A U.S. District Judge in Minnesota has ruled that federal officers cannot detain or use tear gas on peaceful protesters who are not obstructing authorities, including those observing the agents, in a Minneapolis-area immigration operation. The ruling addresses a case filed on behalf of six Minnesota activists and prohibits officers from detaining drivers and passengers in vehicles without reasonable suspicion of obstruction or interference. The decision comes amid ongoing clashes between federal agents and demonstrators enforcing the Trump administration's immigration crackdown in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area.
