Minneapolis, United States (HRNW) —A federal court in Minnesota has issued broad restrictions on how U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents may act during protests and enforcement operations. The injunction was imposed after allegations of excessive force, unconstitutional tactics, and intimidation of peaceful demonstrators, particularly following the controversial death of protester Renée Good at the hands of an ICE agent. The judge prohibited ICE from using pepper spray, arbitrary detentions, and retaliatory actions against protestors — a rare judicial check on federal enforcement approaches that civil liberties advocates say have trampled on free speech and assembly rights. Demonstrators and local officials see the ruling as a step toward curbing abusive federal practices.
