Minnesota’s public-nuisance #law has a useful wrinkle—one that other #states worried about prospective #ICE deployments would do well to imitate. It allows #attorneys for the state to obtain injunctions against a “criminal gang.” A gang, in #Minnesota law, is simply “any” group of people who repeatedly violate certain #criminal laws. It doesn’t matter whether they work for the Latin Kings or #StephenMiller. What matters is that they create an ongoing risk of #violent #harm to the #public.

It’s not a big leap to see an application here. If fentanyl production or the existence of a Jefferson Davis statue can be legally deemed public nuisances, why can’t a deluge of #violent, #masked, & #armed people flooding the streets of a city, #maiming, #brutalizing, & even #killing along the way? This deluge is perhaps even closer to a classic public nuisance because it involves an activity that impedes the safe & orderly use of public streets.

Brandon Lee, spox for the #Illinois Coalition for #Immigrant & #Refugee Rights, said the group was working to identify those taken in the raid.
“It was a #violent show of force in the middle of the night,” Lee said. “Taking #families out of an apartment building in a residential neighborhood like that is harmful, is #traumatic, & that is not something that people can easily recover from, whether they themselves were taken or whether they witnessed it.”
