Judge Menendez (D.Minn) issues a preliminary injunction prohibiting ICE and CBP from the worst of its behavior on the streets of Minneapolis, including using pepper spray, making warrantless arrests, or stopping observers:

storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
3. Covered Federal Agents are hereby enjoined from: a. Retaliating against persons who are engaging in peaceful and unobstructive protest activity, including observing the activities of Operation Metro Surge. b. Arresting or detaining persons who are engaging in peaceful and unobstructive protest activity, including observing the activities of Operation Metro Surge, in retaliation for their protected conduct and absent a showing of probable cause or reasonable suspicion that the person has committed a crime or is obstructing or interfering with the activities of Covered Federal Officers. c. Using pepper-spray or similar nonlethal munitions and crowd dispersal tools against persons who are engaging in peaceful and unobstructive protest activity, including observing the activities of Operation Metro Surge, in retaliation for their protected conduct. d. Stopping or detaining drivers and passengers in vehicles where there is no reasonable articulable suspicion that they are forcibly obstructing or interfering with Covered Federal Agents, or otherwise violating 18 U.S.C. § 111. The act of safely following Covered Federal Agents at an appropriate distance does not, by itself, create reasonable suspicion to justify a vehicle stop.

HUGE. A fed judge in the BLM vs City of Los Angeles case has banned LAPD from using 40mm rubber bullets at protests. "Defendants have not demonstrated substantial compliance or that all reasonable steps have been taken to be in compliance with the Court’s Preliminary Injunction Order."
ii. Ban on use of 40mm KIPS Plaintiffs request the Court ban LAPD’s use of 40mm KIPS as a crowd control tool, arguing that the Ninth Circuit has held that such munitions “are not intended to disperse an individual; they are intended to ‘incapacitate’ a target.” (Mot. at 15) (citing Nelson v. City of Davis, 685 F.3d 867, 873-74 (9th Cir. 2012); Deorle v. Rutherford, 272 F.3d 1272, 1285 (9th Cir. 2001). The Court’s May 10, 2021 Preliminary Injunction provides restrictions on LAPD’s use of 40mm munitions, including: a restriction on using the 40mm launchers in public demonstrations except by officers who successfully completed Department training and meet all annual qualification requirements on the weapon; an officer may use 40mm less-lethal munitions only when the officer reasonably believes that a suspect is violently resisting arrest or poses an immediate threat of violence or physical harm; use of 40mm less-lethal munitions should be preceded by a warning, if feasible, consistent with the Use of Force Warning set forth in LAPD Use of Force – Tactics Directive No. 17; they should only be fired at a distance of five feet or greater from another person; and must not be used to target the head, neck, face, eyes, kidneys, chest, groin or spine of a person. (See Preliminary Injunction Order.) Here, Plaintiffs provide evidence that Defendants used 40mm munitions on protestors who did not pose an immediate threat of violence of physical harm, did not provide warnings before using the munitions, and hit protestors in restricted areas of the body. (See Exs. 152-153, 169-173, 176; Luksus Decl. ¶¶ 8-10; Ashby Decl. ¶¶ 1,3,6; Fernandez Decl. ¶¶ 2-6.) Defendants violated the Court’s Preliminary Injunction Order regarding certain restricted uses of the 40mm and therefore, a ban on 40mm launchers and less-lethal munitions is appropriate. The Court GRANTS Plaintiffs’ request for a ban on the use of 40mm KIPs as a crowd control tool “If a violating party has taken all reasonable steps to comply with the court order, technical or inadvertent violations of the order will not support a finding of civil contempt.”) General Signal Corp. v. Donallco, Inc., 787 F.2d 1376, 1379 (9th Cir. 1986). “A contemnor in violation of a court order may avoid a finding of civil contempt only by showing it took all reasonable steps to comply with the order.” Kelly v. Wengler, 822 F.3d 1085, 1096 (9th Cir. 2016). Here, Plaintiffs argue that Defendants directly violated the Court’s Preliminary Injunction by “repeatedly [shooting] individuals in the face, eye, groin and back” with 40mm weapons. (Mot at 10.) Because the Circuit has held that the 40mm munition is not intended to disperse crowds, but “is chiefly designed, intended, and used for the purpose of incapacitating its target,” Sanderlin v. Dwyer, 116 F.4th 905, 912 (9th Cir. 2024), Plaintiffs argue these instances are not “technical or inadvertent” so as to allow Defendants to avoid liability. (Id.) However, Defendants have not demonstrated substantial compliance or that all reasonable steps have been taken to be in compliance with the Court’s Preliminary Injunction Order. (See Dkt. No. 243 at 4-7; Quiroz Decl. ¶ 4) (e.g., Crown management/Crowd Control management training, Crowd Management and Control for Patrol training, requiring officers to undergo 24 hours of perishable skills training every two years which includes use of force, LAPD disseminated the content of the TRO to all personnel, and a notice to all personal after the modified TRO was issued on April 28, 2021, LAPD issued nine directives and policy updates regarding the use of 37mm and 40mm LLMs between September 2021 and May 2025). Defendants do not argue that the exceptions to the Preliminary Injunction Order apply here (e.g., if a protestor is violently resisting arrest, poses an immediate threat of violence or physical harm,

🚨WHOA. The El Paso Medical Examiner says it will rule the death of a 55-year-old Cuban man at ICE's "Camp East Montana" tent camp as a homicide.

He was allegedly choked to death by a guard during a "struggle" after he refused to enter a housing unit without his medications.
By Douglas MacMillan When U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement announced the Jan. 3 death of detainee Geraldo Lunas Campos at a Texas detention camp, the agency said “staff observed him in distress,” and it gave no cause of death. An employee of El Paso County’s Office of the Medical Examiner told Lunas Campos’s daughter this week that, subject to results of a toxicology report, the office is likely to classify the death as a homicide, according to a recording of the conversation. In the recording, which the daughter shared with The Washington Post, the employee said a doctor there “is listing the preliminary cause of death as asphyxia due to neck and chest compression,” which means Lunas Campos did not get enough oxygen because of pressure on his neck and chest. Pending the results of a toxicology report, the staffer said on the recording, “our doctor is believing that we’re going to be listing the manner of death as homicide.” In an interview with The Post, Santos Jesus Flores, a man who says he was detained in the segregation unit the day Lunas Campos died, said he saw at least five guards struggling with Lunas Campos after he refused to enter the segregation unit, complaining that he didn’t have his medications. Flores said he saw guards choking Lunas Campos and heard Lunas Campos repeatedly saying, “No puedo respirar” — Spanish for “I can’t breathe.” Medical staff tried to resuscitate him for an hour, after which they took his body away, Flores said. “He said, ‘I cannot breathe, I cannot breathe.’ After that, we don’t hear his voice anymore and that’s it,” said Flores, who had contacted a family member of Lunas Campos, who in turn put him in touch with a Post reporter. The Post confirmed Flores was in Camp East Montana through ICE’s detainee locator.

One of the things about people showing up to protest for the first time, that many, many armchair theorists don't grasp, is the effect of seeing what happens with your own eyes, then seeing how media covers it, and what is said ABOUT YOU by media and political personalities/office holders.

I think all ICE officers deployed to Minneapolis should be put on unpaid administrative leave immediately. And I think every officer who has fired a gun (with rubber bullets or otherwise) or teargassed or pepper-sprayed a person should be arrested immediately. This feels like the bare minimum.

Immigration agents grabbed him and put him in a chokehold.

"We're from the United States bro!' he screamed.

Agents took and sold his phone

And when he finally got home hours later, his shirt was ripped, he neck had angry, red welts, and he sobbed.
