Lawyers claim DHS is denying legal counsel to Minnesota detainees

Thousands have been arrested in recent ICE operations in Minneapolis, with attorneys alleging that some detainees, including a U.S. citizen, are being denied their constitutional right to consult with legal counsel. Attorneys report being physically prevented from visiting clients at the Bishop Henry Whipple Federal Building, claiming this violates due process rights. DHS denies these claims, asserting that detainees have access to communication with lawyers and family. The situation has sparked protests and raised concerns about constitutional rights violations amid ongoing immigration enforcement.
