Live: Department of Justice plans to appeal court order restricting ICE tactics in Minnesota 1/19/2026

Court order limited federal agents from arresting, detaining, retaliating against or using force and chemical irritants against peaceful protesters and observers.

The U.S. Department of Justice plans to appeal a court order that limits the force ICE agents can use against protesters in Minnesota.

Here’s what else you need to know:

U.S. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said that a recent court order limiting ICE tactics in Minnesota “didn’t change anything.”

The Jan. 16 court order blocks agents from arresting, detaining, retaliating against or using force and chemical irritants against peaceful protesters and observers.

The DOJ says it is not investigating the ICE agent who fatally shot Renee Good.

About 1,500 active-duty Army paratroopers have been put on alert for a possible deployment to Minnesota.

We’re following reports of individual incidents, as well as providing broader context and stories about the enforcement effort.
