Minneapolis live updates: ICE arrest powers expanded, memo says

The Department of Homeland Security is releasing "inaccurate and misleading" information with regards to the number of people with ICE detainers in county and state prisons, Minnesota Department of Corrections Commissioner Paul Schnell said Thursday.

"This is no longer a simple misunderstanding. At best, DHS fundamentally misunderstands Minnesota's correctional system. At a minimum, this reflects systemic data management inadequacies or incompetence as it relates to DHS tracking of detainers in custody. At worst, it is pure propaganda; numbers released without evidence to stoke fear rather than inform the public," Schnell said.

Schnell said that there are 94 people with ICE detainers in county jails in the state. There are 207 people with detainers in state prisons, for a total of 301 people.

"The DHS has repeatedly claimed that there are more than 1,360 individuals with ICE detainers in Minnesota custody. Despite requests, DHS has provided no data, no data source, no tracking methodology, no jurisdictional breakdown, and no time frame explaining how their numbers were produced," Schnell said.

"We need to align facts and the operational realities before we can solve whatever problem they think exists. This should not be controversial," Schnell said.

A second arrest related to the church incident has been made, according to FBI Director Kash Patel.

"Chauntyll Louisa Allen is now in custody, also on an alleged violation of the FACE Act - after targeting Cities Church in Minneapolis last weekend," Patel said in a post on X.

FBI and Homeland Security Investigations agents arrested civil rights attorney and activist Nekima Levy Armstrong, "who allegedly played a key role in organizing the coordinated attack on Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota," Attorney General Pam Bondi said in a post on X Thursday.

"Listen loud and clear: WE DO NOT TOLERATE ATTACKS ON PLACES OF WORSHIP," Bondi added.

Armstrong told ABC News that she, along with others, organized a protest at a Twin Cities Southern Baptist church on Sunday to call attention to one of its pastors, David Easterwood, whose role as a local acting ICE field office director in St. Paul, Minnesota, they condemn.

President Donald Trump criticized the church protest and launched an investigation into it, calling it a "church raid" led by "agitators and insurrectionists."

Armstrong pushed back on Trump's comments and said she was ready to have a dialogue with Easterwood or other church leadership after interrupting the service.

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.
