Civil Liberties Groups Alarmed by ICE Battering-Ram Arrest
Minneapolis, Minnesota — Federal immigration agents used a battering ram to force entry into a Minneapolis home during an arrest tied to the Trump administration’s ongoing immigration crackdown, raising serious Fourth Amendment concerns after video showed the officers lacked a judge-signed warrant. The incident unfolded amid heightened tensions following the Jan. 7 fatal shooting of Renee Nicole Good by an ICE officer. Video published by the Associated Press shows masked, armed federal agents pushing through a crowd of protesters before repeatedly striking the front door of a home and entering with rifles raised. Agents later exited with a man in handcuffs, identified as Garrison Gibson. According to reporting cited by Reason, the document used to justify the entry was an administrative immigration warrant signed by an ICE officer, not a judicial warrant signed by a judge. Legal experts note that while administrative warrants may authorize civil immigration arrests, they do not permit nonconsensual entry into a private residence. Gibson’s attorney, Marc Prokosch, filed a habeas corpus petition seeking his release, calling the raid an “egregious violation of the Fourth Amendment,” particularly because a child was inside the home at the time. Fox 9 reported that the family demanded proof of a valid judicial warrant, which agents did not provide. The Department of Homeland Security declined to comment directly on the tactics used. DHS spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin told the Associated Press the arrest was part of efforts to detain “the worst of the worst,” citing Gibson’s prior deportation order and criminal history. Constitutional protections, however, apply regardless of immigration status, and legal scholars emphasized that exceptions to the warrant requirement rarely apply in civil immigration cases.

DOJ Declines Civil Rights Probe Into ICE Shooting in Minneapolis
Minneapolis, Minnesota — The U.S. Department of Justice has determined there is no current basis to open a criminal civil rights investigation into the fatal shooting of Renee Nicole Good by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer, a decision that has intensified political tension and prompted multiple resignations within the department. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said Tuesday that federal officials found no grounds for a civil rights probe into the Jan. 7 shooting, in which ICE agent Jonathan Ross fired on Good as she moved her vehicle forward during an encounter. Administration officials have described the shooting as an act of self-defense and characterized Good’s actions as domestic terrorism, statements that fueled public backlash after video of the incident spread widely online. The decision to exclude the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division from the case marks a departure from past practice, where federal civil rights prosecutors often quickly review law enforcement shootings. According to officials familiar with the matter, Civil Rights Division attorneys were told last week they would not participate, leading to the resignation of at least four senior prosecutors in the division. Several federal prosecutors in Minnesota, including First Assistant U.S. Attorney Joseph Thompson, also resigned amid concerns over political pressure. The FBI is leading the investigation and has blocked Minnesota state authorities from accessing evidence, asserting exclusive federal jurisdiction. State officials and Democratic lawmakers criticized the move, warning it undermines transparency and public trust. Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Sen. Amy Klobuchar said the departures raise serious concerns about politicization inside the Justice Department. The Justice Department said the resignations were unrelated to the case, citing previously planned retirements.

Being “disrespectful of law enforcement” is not a crime, and is not something that American citizens should be summarily executed for by masked men in unmarked cars.
Q: "Do you believe that deadly force was necessary?"

Trump: "It was highly disrespectful of law enforcement. The woman and her friend were highly disrespectful of law enforcement…Law enforcement should not be in a position where they have to put up with this stuff."
