Trump’s DOJ said police reform was 'factually unjustified.' A new report shows otherwise.

from Minnesota Now · host Minnesota Public Radio

In May of 2025, the Department of Justice dropped its oversight of the Minneapolis Police Department. The DOJ said it no longer believed that the consent decree, or court-ordered reforms, were necessary. A new report from the ACLU has found otherwise. It looked at Minneapolis police and six other police departments across the country who also had consent decrees dropped and found unconstitutional policing continued. One of the authors of the report, Jenn Rolnick Borchetta, spoke to MPR News host Nina Moini about it.
