“The country of Ecuador has raised alarm after an ICE agent attempted to enter its consulate in Northeast Minneapolis on Tuesday,” Bring Me The News reports. “Federal agents are not allowed to enter embassies or consulates without permission from the consul or ambassador, per international law. NBC News reports that Ecuador Foreign Ministry has issued a ‘note of protest’ with the U.S. embassy in Ecuador.
Also from Bring Me The News, “Minnesotans have garnered global attention and national praise for residents’ powerful efforts to band together as the state has bore the brunt of the federal immigration crackdown for nearly two months.”
“The federal agents who were involved in Saturday’s fatal shooting of Alex Pretti in Minneapolis have been placed on administrative leave,” according to WCCO. “The news comes a day after a government report obtained by CBS News revealed more details in the killing of Pretti, confirming that two federal agents fired their weapons.”
“If Minnesota officials try to prosecute the federal agents who recently killed two people in Minneapolis, they’ll face steep obstacles from a century-old Supreme Court precedent — one that helped sink a similar case just a few years ago,” according to Politico. “The 2017 shooting of Bijan Ghaisar by two U.S. Park Police officers in a Northern Virginia neighborhood — and the protracted legal battles that followed — may be the best preview of what Minnesota officials can expect if they pursue criminal charges against federal immigration agents. And the same legal theory that stymied Virginia’s prosecution may also block Minnesota’s.”
“Child care providers in Minnesota — especially Somali Americans — are facing high levels of harassment in a city besieged by Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers. As strangers continue to show up asking to get access to the children inside, there is also the constant fear that ICE may come for the parents, the children or their staff, a large portion of whom are immigrants.” The 19th reports.
