Minnesota Solicitor General Liz Kramer and Minneapolis officials have sent a letter to the U.S. Courts asking for immediate action to be taken.
“Plaintiffs, and Plaintiffs’ communities, are in urgent need of a Court-ordered respite to the irreparable injuries Defendants continue to cause to the health, safety, education, and welfare of Minneapolis, Saint Paul, and indeed the entire State of Minnesota,” Kramer and her colleagues write. “This cannot continue. We need the Court to act to stop this Surge before yet another resident dies because of Operation Metro Surge.”

“The record before the Court is more than sufficient to justify this immediate relief: Plaintiffs have demonstrated ongoing, irreparable harm and established serious constitutional claims,” the letter says. “Every day that passes without Court intervention compounds these injuries and undermines the very rights this Court is charged to protect.”
