Minneapolis live updates: ICE arrest powers expanded, memo says

A law firm representing the family of Renee Good has released the preliminary findings of an independent autopsy into the death of the 37-year-old who was fatally shot by an ICE agent in Minneapolis earlier this month.

The Department of Homeland Security said the agent opened fire after Good tried to ram officers with her vehicle.

Good suffered three "gunshot wound paths," according to a summary of the findings from the Romanucci & Blandin law firm.

• One gunshot struck her left forearm, causing soft tissue damage and hemorrhage
• One gunshot wound traversed the right breast without penetrating major internal organs
• One gunshot entered the left side of her head near the temple and exited the right side of her head

Good also suffered a superficial wound from being grazed by a bullet, according to the law firm.

The wounds to Good's left forearm and breast were not immediately life-threatening, according to the autopsy, the law firm said.

The results of the Hennepin County Medical Examiner’s Office autopsy have not yet been released to the family or legal team, the law firm said.

The Pentagon has placed hundreds of Army military police soldiers at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, on alert for a potential deployment to Minnesota, according to two U.S. officials.

The preparations are tied to the possibility that President Donald Trump could invoke the Insurrection Act, a rarely used law that allows the president to deploy federal troops on American soil.

ABC News previously reported Saturday that roughly 1,500 active-duty soldiers from at Joint Base Elmendorf–Richardson in Alaska had been ordered to ready themselves for such a mission.

No specific mission to Minnesota has been developed, both U.S. officials said, adding that the purpose is to ensure the president has a range of options should he decide to deploy troops.

Trump has repeatedly threatened to invoke the 1807 Insurrection Act, a statute that has been used sparingly and most often during the civil rights era, when federal troops were deployed to suppress unrest and enforce school desegregation.

"I don't think we need it at this point, and hopefully we won’t need it," Trump said in an interview with NewsNation on Tuesday.

An appeals court has temporarily blocked a federal judge’s order that barred immigration agents from arresting protesters or using non-lethal weapons against them.

This is part of an ongoing case in Minnesota filed by the American Civil Liberties Union in December.

U.S. District Judge Katherine Menendez had granted the ACLU’s request and ruled that federal agents deployed to the state under the operation are prohibited from arresting or detaining peaceful protesters “in retaliation for their protected conduct and absent a showing of probable cause or reasonable suspicion that the person has committed a crime or is obstructing or interfering with the activities.”

The order had also barred ICE and other federal agents from stopping drivers and passengers unless there’s reasonable suspicion that they’re obstructing federal enforcement activities.
