Minnesota judge prohibits tear gas use on peaceful protesters

A Minnesota judge has ruled that federal officers cannot detain or use tear gas on peaceful protesters during Operation Metro Surge in Minneapolis, following heightened tensions after an ICE agent fatally shot local resident Renee Good. U.S. District Judge Kate Menendez’s order prohibits retaliation against non-obstructive demonstrators and requires probable cause for any law enforcement action. The ruling stems from a lawsuit by six activists represented by the ACLU of Minnesota, highlighting concerns over constitutional rights amid recent violent incidents involving ICE.
