A deadly shooting earlier this year led to the detention of an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer. This individual is currently being held in a jail. A request was made by Minnesota to prevent the release of the officer, but it was denied by a judge. The judge's decision allows for the release of the officer. Further details about the case and the shooting are available from the source.
