Here’s a quick look at news across the state Wednesday morning.
A St. Peter woman is suing the federal government over her treatment at the hands of immigration agents who arrested her last winter.
Jamie Martens says when immigration agents saw her recording enforcement activity on Jan. 29, they chased her, stopped her, and with guns drawn, “forcefully tore her out of her car and sat on her back,” according to her lawsuit. Now Martens is suing the government, alleging assault, battery, false arrest, negligence and emotional distress.
Suburban winners in last week’s election from the Twin Cities Metro area told MPR News that Operation Metro Surge convinced them to run.
And Minnesota’s annual Veterans Day ceremony will take place today in Duluth.
