In The Minnesota “Anti-Brutality” ICE Class Action, Early Discovery Will Be Allowed — Before Tangerine’s Motion To Dismiss Is Heard…

This is very good news — for the people wrongfully detained, shot at, and beaten by ICE/DHS in Minneapolis last year.

Eventually, Tangerine 2.0’s administration is going to owe millions in damages to the people he abused — and in at least two cases, to the families of people he. . . killed. Here’s the latest, out of the USDC in Minneapolis:

…The parties are ordered to meet and confer before July 6, 2026 to develop a plan for limited discovery before the Motion to Dismiss (ECF No. 174) is resolved….

Early Discovery requests must be tailored to issues that might inform the parties’ positions in the Motion to Dismiss, and information with a high risk of dissipation over time….

The Early Discovery plan should identify, as to each request, a reasonable time scope and a narrowly targeted range of custodians from whom such discovery is sought….

Failure by either party to negotiate Early Discovery in good faith will be construed as a waiver of arguments as to such discovery….

Now you know. Onward, resolutely.
