The temperature needs to be lowered,\u201d state Assistant Attorney General Brian Carter said during the first hearing in a lawsuit<\/a> filed by Minnesota and the cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \n AP AUDIO: No decision on request to stop immigration sweeps in Minnesota. Military lawyers may join the effort\n <\/p>\n AP correspondent Julie Walker reports on the latest developments in President Trump\u2019s immigration crackdown in Minneapolis.<\/p>\n Local leaders say the government is violating free speech and other constitutional rights with the surge of law enforcement. U.S. District Judge Katherine Menendez promised to keep the case \u201con the front burner\u201d and gave the U.S. Justice Department until Monday to file a response to a request for a restraining order.<\/p>\n The judge said these are \u201cgrave and important matters,\u201d and that there are few legal precedents to apply to some of the key points in the case.<\/p>\n Justice Department attorney Andrew Warden suggested the approach set by Menendez was appropriate.<\/p>\n The judge is also handling a separate lawsuit challenging the tactics used by Immigration and Customs Enforcement and other federal officers when they encounter protesters and observers. A decision could be released this week.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n People react after a firework was set off near the scene of a reported shooting Wednesday, Jan. 14, 2026, in Minneapolis.

Tim Walz described Minnesota as being in chaos, saying what\u2019s happening in the state \u201cdefies belief.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cLet\u2019s be very, very clear, this long ago stopped being a matter of immigration enforcement,\u201d he said. \u201cInstead, it\u2019s a campaign of organized brutality against the people of Minnesota by our own federal government.\u201d <\/p>\n Walz added that \u201caccountability\u201d will be coming through the courts.<\/p>\n Military lawyers may join the surge<\/p>\n The Department of Homeland Security says it has made more than 2,000 arrests<\/a> in the state since early December<\/a> and is vowing to not back down. The Pentagon is preparing to send military lawyers to Minneapolis to assist.<\/p>\n CNN, citing an email circulating in the military, says Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth<\/a> is asking the branches to identify 40 lawyers known as judge advocate general officers or JAGs, and 25 of them will serve as special assistant U.S. attorneys in Minneapolis.<\/p>\n Pentagon spokesperson Kingsley Wilson appeared to confirm the CNN report by posting it on X with a comment that the military \u201cis proud to support\u201d the Justice Department.<\/p>\n The Pentagon did not immediately respond to emails from The Associated Press seeking more details.<\/p>\n It\u2019s the latest step by the Trump administration to dispatch military and civilian attorneys to areas where federal immigration operations are taking place<\/a>. The Pentagon last week sent 20 lawyers to Memphis, U.S. Attorney D. Michael Dunavant said.<\/p>\n Mark Nevitt, an associate professor at Emory University School of Law and a former Navy JAG, said there\u2019s concern that the assignments are taking lawyers away from the military justice system.<\/p>\n \u201cThere are not many JAGs but there are over one million members of the military, and they all need legal support,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n An official says the agent who killed Good was injured<\/p>\n Jonathan Ross, the Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer who killed Good, suffered internal bleeding to his torso during the encounter, a Homeland Security official told The Associated Press.<\/p>\n The official spoke to AP on condition of anonymity in order to discuss Ross\u2019 medical condition. The official did not provide details about the severity of the injuries, and the agency did not respond to questions about the extent of the bleeding, exactly how he suffered the injury, when it was diagnosed or his medical treatment.<\/p>\n There are many causes of internal bleeding, and they vary in severity from bruising to significant blood loss. Video from the scene showed Ross and other officers walking without obvious difficulty after Good was shot and her Honda Pilot crashed into other vehicles.<\/p>\n![\"Federal](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/1768465270_507_.jpeg\")
