2 people facing charges after allegedly driving away with a federal agent trapped in their vehicle

A man and a woman are facing charges after allegedly driving away with a federal agent trapped in their vehicle.

It’s been six months since Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, were killed in a political assassination. Legislative leaders say they’ll keep Hortman’s seat as a memorial to the slain lawmaker next year.

The Minneapolis City Council Thursday passed a measure that includes restrictions on where federal agents can stage their operations. The council unanimously passed changes to the existing separation ordinance which prohibits city employees from enforcing federal immigration law. The ordinance codifies the mayor’s executive order that forbids federal immigration agents from using city owned parking lots, ramps, vacant lots and garages as part of their operations.
