BREAKING: A law firm in Minnesota vows its lawyers will make Minneapolis the richest city in America suing “every single ICE agent who violates a Constitutional right, assaults a citizen, makes an unwarranted arrest, uses excessive force, or refuses to self-identify.”
Minneapolis Law Firm Pledges Aggressive Legal Action Against Alleged ICE Misconduct
A Minneapolis-based law firm announced this week that it intends to pursue civil lawsuits against any Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent found to have violated constitutional rights in the city, a move the firm says is aimed at increasing accountability during federal immigration operations. In a statement that quickly spread online, the firm vowed its attorneys would sue “every single ICE agent” involved in actions such as excessive force, unwarranted arrests, assaults on civilians, or refusals to properly identify themselves.
The firm’s partners framed the pledge as a response to growing public concern over immigration enforcement tactics and their impact on local communities. While the statement included the provocative claim that such litigation could make Minneapolis “the richest city in America,” legal experts say the remark appears to be rhetorical, underscoring the firm’s belief that constitutional violations can be costly for the federal government when successfully challenged in court.
ICE officials have not publicly responded to the announcement, and it remains unclear how many cases the firm expects to file. Civil rights attorneys note that lawsuits against federal agents face high legal thresholds, including qualified immunity defenses. Still, the announcement signals an intensifying legal and political battle over immigration enforcement in Minneapolis, a city that has positioned itself as a defender of immigrant and civil liberties.
