No decision on request to stop immigration sweeps in Minnesota. Military lawyers may join the effort

  • By STEVE KARNOWSKI Associated Press

There has been no decision, yet, on Minnesota's request to suspend the Trump administration's immigration crackdown. Judge Katherine Menendez gave the government until Monday to respond to a request for a restraining order. Plumes of tear gas, the deployment of chemical irritants and the screech of protest whistles have become common on the streets of Minneapolis, where an immigration agent killed Renee Good last week. The Pentagon may send military lawyers to Minneapolis. An official says the agent who shot Good suffered internal bleeding during the incident. No other details were disclosed.
