The order, requested by the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA) and granted by US District Court Judge Eric Tostrud, will remain in effect through Monday afternoon.
Trump-appointed Judge Tostrud is expected to rule on possibly extending the temporary restraining order on Monday, with defendants including DHS Sec. Kristi Noem having until Monday at 12 p.m. to file objections or any other response.
It comes amid a lawsuit filed by the BCA in the wake of the killing of ICE nurse Pretti on Saturday morning, alleging the DHS mishandled evidence at the scene of Saturday’s shooting while federal agents were detaining an alleged criminal migrant in south Minneapolis.
DHS representatives allegedly blocked the BCA from accessing the scene of the shooting, even though the bureau had obtained a signed search warrant from a judge.
