A Minnesota prosecutor said on March 2 that her office has launched a new initiative to gather evidence and investigate potential unlawful conduct by federal agents following an immigration enforcement surge in the state.

Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty said the office has established the Transparency and Accountability Project, known as TAP, to review incidents linked to Operation Metro Surge, a federal immigration enforcement operation that began in Minnesota in late 2025.
