On the ICE enforcement front:
The family of Renee Good, the woman shot and killed by an ICE agent in Minneapolis, has hired the firm that won a $27 million civil settlement for the family of George Floyd, the man murdered by a Minneapolis police officer, the Star Tribune reports.
Two Minneapolis residents monitoring ICE activities say they were detained by ICE without charge for several hours. Brandon Sigüenza and Patty O’Keefe also tell the Associated Press they were denied phone calls and pressured to rat out protest organizers and people living in the country illegally.
And a Woodbury man tells the Pioneer Press he was detained for nine hours by ICE agents after he followed and recorded them. Ryan Ecklund says agents forcefully entered his vehicle, slammed him to the ground and took him to the Whipple Federal Building at Fort Snelling.
