Summary

Human Rights Watch Thursday released a report detailing human rights abuses by the federal government during this winter’s immigration enforcement surge in Minnesota, which the group alleges also violates international human rights treaties. The report documents what they allege were unlawful arrests, excessive use of force and unhealthy conditions in detention facilities. In an email to MPR News, a Homeland Security spokesperson denied the allegations of human rights violations. Federal prosecutors Wednesday dismissed charges against another protester accused of assaulting immigration agents. Video evidence continues to contradict sworn statements from Homeland Security officials.
