Minneapolis leaders say city will continue policing changes, with or without federal mandate
Manage episode 484055015 series 3476283
The U.S. Department of Justice signaled Wednesday that it is not interested in pursuing an agreement with the city of Minneapolis designed to mandate policing reforms. The DOJ filed a motion Wednesday morning to dismiss the government’s consent decree with the city.
In January, the city and President Joe Biden’s justice department reached an agreement to address alleged discriminatory policing particularly affecting Black and Native residents. But the agreement needed a federal judge’s approval to move forward.
Matt Sepic joins MPR News host Nina Moini from Minneapolis after city leaders responded to the news.
