U.S. judge orders federal agents to stop pepper spraying, retaliating against peaceful Minnesota protesters

A U.S. judge on Friday ordered federal law enforcement participating in the Minnesota immigration crackdown to stop pepper spraying, detaining and pulling over peaceful protesters.

The preliminary injunction by Judge Katherine Menendez of the U.S. District Court in Minnesota applies to federal agents and officers participating in Operation Metro Surge, the controversial immigration crackdown launched by the administration of President Donald Trump, who has promised to round up criminal migrants for deportation across the country.

It will remain in effect, Menendez wrote, until the mission concludes or conditions are such that it is no longer needed. The judge stated the federal operation started in Minnesota on Dec. 4 in Minnesota.

The ruling orders federal law enforcement to stop taking action against peaceful protesters, including those demonstrating against federal agents and officers.

The injunction for now prohibits “retaliating against persons who are engaging in peaceful and unobstructive protest activity, including observing the activities of Operation Metro Surge,” according to Friday’s ruling.

Um, OK? Pretty much everyone who gets sprayed is involved in obstructing ICE, for preventing a threat. People aren’t getting detained/pulled over for no reason. We literally see it on video

There are plenty of those out there. These wackos, seemingly mostly affluent, white liberal women (AWFL), have been trained to do this. It ends up making no difference in arresting illegals, it just gets themselves in trouble.

The injunction is a response to a lawsuit, filed Dec. 17 by the ACLU on behalf of six protesters and observers who alleged their constitutional rights, including freedom of speech and right to be free of unreasonable searches and seizures, were violated by federal agents. The plaintiffs have been subjected to arrest, detention and pepper spraying, and had firearms pointed at them, during the immigration enforcement operation, according to the ruling.

Law enforcement won’t point a loaded firearm at someone 99.999999% of the time unless they are a threat.
