WASHINGTON, Jan 19 (Reuters) - The Trump administration said on Saturday it was appealing a ruling by a federal judge that put limits on tactics employed by U.S. immigration agents operating in Minneapolis.

In a brief filing, lawyers for the Department of Justice told the court they were appealing an order issued by the judge on Friday that barred federal officers from arresting or tear-gassing peaceful demonstrators and observers.

The order was in response to a lawsuit filed against the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and other federal agencies on December 17, three weeks before an immigration agent fatally shot Renee Good, a 37-year-old woman in Minneapolis. The shooting spawned waves of protests.

The Trump administration has sent thousands of immigration agents to the Minneapolis area in recent weeks as part of a campaign to ramp up deportations of people in the country without authorization. Tensions over the deployment have mounted considerably since an ICE agent fatally shot Good. The court case was brought on behalf of six protesters and observers who claimed their constitutional rights had been infringed by the actions of ICE agents.

1. Minnesota is our HOT BED. If TSF is allowed to do what he intends to do

America will EXPLODE! Blue states should somehow get involved. Not sure how, but if this is not stopped in MIN, LOOK OUT!

2. "Blue states should somehow get involved."

They have been all the past year. This is why the NG were pulled out of CA & OR for example. There are piles of suits that are pending in some type of status (whether lower court or appellate court).

There are a couple trackers out there including this one - https://www.justsecurity.org/107087/tracker-litigation-legal-challenges-trump-administration/ (you can sort by topic, etc).

I know most of the trackers that I have found so far are not all-inclusive and they usually encourage crowd-sourced updates.

3. I'm not doubting this BUT

If more is not done, and Min goes under FN LOOK OUT!!
