Appeals court temporarily lifts restrictions on ICE's use of force
against protesters

Tensions continued over the weekend in Minneapolis, as protesters
clashed in the streets with law enforcement, following the second
shooting there in about a week involving a federal officer.

The Department of Homeland Security said that on Wednesday, a federal
law enforcement officer shot a person, who they say had fled a traffic
stop and then, along with two other people, began attacking the officer.

That incident followed the fatal shooting of Renee Good, a 37-year-old
mother, on Jan. 7. DHS officials said Good was allegedly attempting to
run over law enforcement officers when an ICE officer fatally shot her
-- a claim that local officials have disputed.

An appeals court has temporarily blocked a federal judgerCOs order that
barred immigration agents from arresting protesters or using non-lethal
weapons against them.

This is part of an ongoing case in Minnesota filed by the American Civil Liberties Union in December.

U.S. District Judge Katherine Menendez had granted the ACLUrCOs request
and ruled that federal agents deployed to the state under the operation
are prohibited from arresting or detaining peaceful protesters rCLin retaliation for their protected conduct and absent a showing of probable
cause or reasonable suspicion that the person has committed a crime or
is obstructing or interfering with the activities.rCY

The order had also barred ICE and other federal agents from stopping
drivers and passengers unless thererCOs reasonable suspicion that theyrCOre obstructing federal enforcement activities.
