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.
