Attorneys for the Trump administration notified a Minnesota court on Monday they were appealing a judge’s order that placed restrictions on federal immigration officers, barring them from using pepper spray or other nonlethal munitions and crowd-dispersal tools against peaceful protesters.
In a short notice filed with Judge Kate Menendez at the U.S. District Court of Minnesota, who ruled on the case three days earlier, Justice Department lawyers said they would challenge the judge’s restrictions at the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit.
