Judge Blocks ICE from Using Pepper Spray on Peaceful Protesters
A federal judge issued a ruling on Friday limiting the tactics of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents. The order states that agents cannot use pepper spray against peaceful protesters. It also prohibits them from making arrests without probable cause, which is a legal standard requiring evidence of a crime. The ruling is a response to tactics used during recent protests. The Trump administration has not yet commented on the decision. In a separate development, the Justice Department has opened an investigation. The probe targets Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, according to officials. The details of that investigation are not yet public. CBS News immigration reporter Camilo Montoya-Galvez is following both stories.
