"The tactics used during the Trump administration's immigration crackdown (known as Operation Metro Surge in the Twin Cities area of Minnesota) have been loudly criticized and sparked nationwide protests and multiple court challenges, especially after two fatal shootings of U.S. citizens in Minneapolis: Renee Good on Jan. 7 by ICE agent Jonathan Ross, and Alex Pretti on Jan. 24 by Border Patrol agent Jesus Ochoa and Customs and Border Protection officer Raymundo Gutierrez."
"In Brasel's 41-page ruling, she blasts ICE for the threadbare declarationswithout examples or evidence offered by the federal government's attorneys claiming that noncitizens detained at the Bishop Henry Whipple Federal Building were granted telephone access to their legal counsel. Brasel noted that the plaintiffs had provided ample and detailed evidence that the thousands of detainees at Whipple were systematically being denied"
Judge Nancy Brasel found that Immigration and Customs Enforcement systematically violated the constitutional rights of detainees at the Bishop Henry Whipple Federal Building in Minnesota and issued a temporary restraining order imposing strict new requirements on ICE agents. The ruling criticized ICE's declarations as threadbare and lacking examples or evidence that detainees had telephone access to legal counsel. The enforcement actions occurred during Operation Metro Surge in the Twin Cities and prompted nationwide protests and multiple court challenges after two fatal shootings of U.S. citizens by immigration agents. Plaintiffs presented detailed evidence that thousands of detainees were being denied access to attorneys.
