The American Civil Liberties Union has filed a class-action lawsuit over the Trump administration’s surge of immigration agents to Minnesota, describing it as a mass “racial profiling campaign” resulting in “an unprecedented level of violence” against Minnesotans of color. The lawsuit reads, in part, “People targeted by ICE have been handcuffed, tackled, and beaten by federal agents. Agents have broken car windows, dragged people from their cars, and used pepper spray and tear gas against compliant, non-violent people.”
This comes as a federal judge in Minnesota on Thursday ordered the release of a Liberian man, ruling that heavily armed immigration agents violated his Fourth Amendment rights when they broke into his home using a battering ram, without his consent and without a judicial warrant.
