Judge Hands #Trump Admin New Legal Loss Over #Minnesota #Protesters

By Anna Commander, Jan 16, 2026

Excerpt: "On Friday, U.S. District Judge Katherine Menendez, appointed by former President Joe Biden, granted a preliminary injunction that restricts federal immigration agents—specifically those participating in #OperationMetroSurge—from taking retaliatory action against people 'engaging in peaceful and unobstructive #protest activity.'

"The order specifically prohibits the use of #PepperSpray or other crowd-dispersal tools in response to peaceful protest and bars agents from stopping or detaining protesters in vehicles unless they are 'forcibly obstructing or interfering with' officers."

@DoomsdaysCW won't the terms obstruction and interference be open to interpretation?.

Oh yeah, @kimlockhartga . Absolutely! And the last time I checked some of the #AntiProtest laws on the books in certain states, some of those terms are deliberately vague and open to law enforcement interpretation!
