• ACLU sues ICE, alleging agency violates constitutional rights of observers and protesters (newsfromthestates.com) — A recent federal lawsuit describes an ICE raid at the Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Mary in Richfield, where observers say agents later boxed in a local couple’s car and pointed guns at them. The ACLU of Minnesota claims this and similar incidents across the metro show a broader pattern of ICE intimidating protesters and observers, and is seeking a court order to halt those practices.
