Resource: Minneapolis reaches tentative agreement with the U.S. DOJ to secure consent decree mandating reforms

The city of Minneapolis has reached a tentative agreement with the U.S. Department of Justice to secure a long-awaited federal consent decree mandating sweeping police reforms, a source confirmed to the Minnesota Star Tribune. City Council members are expected to review the document during a closed session with the city attorney’s office on Monday morning. Afterward, elected officials will be asked to vote on it during a special public meeting called by Mayor Jacob Frey. If approved, the lengthy legal agreement will be filed in federal court — just ahead of President-elect Donald Trump’s Jan. 20 inauguration and return to the White House.
