A Liberian man who has been shuttled in and out of custody since immigration agents in Minnesota\u00a0broke down his door with a battering ram was released again Friday, hours after a routine check-in with authorities led to his second arrest.<\/p>\n
State authorities, meanwhile, had a message for any weekend protests against the Trump administration\u2019s\u00a0unprecedented immigration sweepin the Twin Cities: avoid confrontation.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhile peaceful expression is protected, any actions that harm people, destroy property or jeopardize public safety will not be tolerated,\u201d said Commissioner Bob Jacobson of the Minnesota Department of Public Safety.<\/p>\n
His comments came after President Donald Trump backed off a bit from his threat a day earlier to\u00a0invoke an 1807 law, the Insurrection Act, to send troops to suppress demonstrations.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t think there\u2019s any reason right now to use it, but if I needed it, I\u2019d use it,\u201d Trump told reporters outside the White House.<\/p>\n
The dramatic initial arrest of Garrison Gibson last weekend was captured on video. U.S. District Judge Jeffrey Bryan\u00a0ruled the arrest unlawful\u00a0Thursday and freed him, but Gibson was detained again Friday when he appeared at an immigration office.<\/p>\n
A few hours later, Gibson was free again, attorney Marc Prokosch said.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn the words of my client, he said that somebody at ICE said they bleeped up and so they re-released him this afternoon and so he\u2019s out of custody,\u201d Prokosch said, referring to Immigration and Customs Enforcement.<\/p>\n
Gibson\u2019s arrest is one of more than 2,500 made during a weekslong immigration crackdown in Minneapolis and St. Paul, according to the Department of Homeland Security. The operation has intensified and become more confrontational since the\u00a0fatal shooting of Renee Good on Jan. 7.<\/p>\n
Gibson, 37, who fled the civil war in his West African home country as a child, had been ordered removed from the U.S., apparently because of a 2008 drug conviction that was later dismissed. He has remained in the country legally under what\u2019s known as an order of supervision, Prokosch said, and complied with the requirement that he meet regularly with immigration authorities.<\/p>\n
In his Thursday order, the judge agreed that officials violated regulations by not giving Gibson enough notice that his supervision status had been revoked. Prokosch said he was told by ICE that they are \u201cnow going through their proper channels\u201d to revoke the order.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, tribal leaders and Native American rights organizations are advising anyone with a tribal ID to carry it with them when out in public in case they are approached by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers.<\/p>\n
Native Americans across the U.S. have reported being stopped or detained by ICE, and tribal leaders are asking members to report these contacts.<\/p>\n
Ben Barnes, chief of the Shawnee Tribe in Oklahoma and chair of the United Indian Nations of Oklahoma, called the reports \u201cdeeply concerning\u201d.<\/p>\n
Organizers in Minneapolis have set up application booths in the city to assist people needing a tribal ID.<\/p>\n
Democratic members of Congress held a local meeting Friday to hear from people who say they\u2019ve had aggressive encounters with immigration agents. St. Paul Mayor Kaohly Her, who is Hmong American, said people are walking around with their passports in case they are challenged, and she has received reports of ICE agents going from door to door \u201casking where the Asian people live.\u201d Thousands of Hmong people, largely from the Southeast Asian nation of Laos, have settled in the United States since the 1970s.<\/p>\n
Minneapolis authorities released police and fire dispatch logs and transcripts of 911 calls, all related to the fatal shooting of Good. Firefighters found what appeared to be two gunshot wounds in her right chest, one in her left forearm and a possible gunshot wound on the left side of her head, records show.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey shot her, like, cause she wouldn\u2019t open her car door,\u201d a caller said. \u201cPoint blank range in her car.\u201d<\/p>\n
Good, 37, was at the wheel of her Honda Pilot, which was partially blocking a street. Video showed an officer approached the SUV, demanded that she open the door and grabbed the handle.<\/p>\n
Good began to pull forward and turned the vehicle\u2019s wheel to the right. Another ICE officer, Jonathan Ross, pulled his gun and\u00a0fired at close range, jumping back as the SUV moved past him. DHS claims the agent shot Good in self-defense.<\/p>\n
FBI Director Kash Patel said at least one person has been arrested for stealing property from an FBI vehicle in Minneapolis. The SUV was among government vehicles whose windows were broken Wednesday evening. Attorney General Pam Bondi said body armor and weapons were stolen.<\/p>\n
The destruction occurred when agents were responding to a shooting during an immigration arrest. Trump subsequently said on social media that he would invoke the Insurrection Act if Minnesota officials don\u2019t stop the \u201cprofessional agitators and insurrectionists\u201d there.<\/p>\n
Minnesota\u2019s attorney general responded by saying he would sue if the president acts.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
