This is a federal judge. We know DoJ will never enforce that. But can Minneapolis cite police or Minnesota state police enforce a federal injunction?

It seems to me it would have been better for a state judge to issue such an injunction. And it also seems to me that a state court could issue an injunction based on:

* Minn. Stat. § 609.4751 (Impersonating a Peace Officer): A misdemeanor for falsely impersonating an officer to mislead someone;

* Minn. Stat. § 626.863 (Unauthorized Practice): A misdemeanor for non-officers pretending to be one or performing officer duties;

What Constitutes Impersonation?

Verbal Claims: Telling someone you are a police officer.

Fake Gear: Displaying a fake badge, ID, or using police-like lights or equipment on a vehicle.

Performing Duties: Attempting traffic stops or other actions reserved for law enforcement

ICE are not police officers. They have no legal authority to do anything other than enforce JUDICIAL warrants related to immigration. They are impersonating police officers and should be arrested under state law.
