Last night, we filed an emergency motion to lift the appeals court pause on the injunction that imposed limits on federal agents' interactions with observers and protesters. Minnesotans must be safe to exercise their constitutional rights.

"I informed the ICE agents that I am a physician, and I asked to
assess the victim.
At first, the ICE agents wouldn't let me through. ... But none of the ICE agents who were near the victim were performing CPR, ... None of the agents were helping him."
