Limits on ICE Agents in Minnesota Blocked by Appeals Court

The Trump administration won an appeals court order blocking a judge’s restrictions on Immigration and Customs Enforcement tactics for dealing with protesters in Minnesota.

A three-judge panel of the 8th US Circuit Court of Appeals on Monday put an indefinite hold on a lower-court judge’s Jan. 16 order that prevented officers from arresting, detaining, pepper-spraying or retaliating against peaceful protesters in Minneapolis. The ruling will remain paused while the government’s appeal plays out.
