US judge restricts ICE response to Minneapolis protesters
A US judge has issued a ruling restricting the actions of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents in response to the ongoing protests in Minneapolis. The ruling comes after a lawsuit was filed by civil rights groups, alleging that ICE had been targeting and arresting protesters in an attempt to quell the demonstrations following the killing of George Floyd by a police officer.
The judge’s order prohibits ICE from engaging in any law enforcement activities, including arrests, interviews, and surveillance, within a specified perimeter surrounding the protests in Minneapolis. This decision aims to prevent any further escalation of tensions between law enforcement agencies and protesters.
ICE officials have expressed disappointment with the ruling, stating that it hinders their ability to carry out their duties to enforce immigration laws and ensure public safety. They argue that they have a responsibility to maintain law and order, especially in situations where there is a potential for violence and unrest.
On the other hand, the civil rights groups that brought the lawsuit have welcomed the judge’s decision, viewing it as a necessary step to protect the rights of individuals to peacefully protest without fear of retaliation or intimidation by federal authorities.
The ruling is set to remain in place until further notice, with the judge indicating that a full hearing on the matter will be scheduled in the coming weeks to determine the long-term implications of ICE’s involvement in responding to the protests in Minneapolis.
