News when you want it with Bloomberg News Now. I'm Ed Kalangi. A judge in Minnesota ruled Friday that federal officers in the Minneapolis area participating in its largest recent U.S. immigration enforcement operation cannot detain or tear gas peaceful protesters who are not obstructing authorities, including when these people are observing the agents. U.S. District Judge Kate Menendez's ruling addresses a case filed in December on behalf of six Minnesota activists. The six are among the thousands who have been observing the activities of Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Border Patrol officers enforcing the Trump administration's immigration crackdown. in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area since last month.
The Department of Justice is investigating both Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Fry over an alleged conspiracy to impede a federal immigration agent. Meanwhile, President Trump told reporters Friday he would hold off on invoking the Insurrection Act after previously threatening to use the law to deploy military troops in Minnesota. Still, the president did not rule out using the 19th century law at a later date, saying, if I needed it, I'd use it. A day earlier, Trump posted on social media that he would institute the Insurrection Act if the state's leaders failed to quell protests there. The 1807 statute allows the president to use regular military troops on U.S. soil for domestic law enforcement during an insurrection or civil disturbance without congressional approval.
It was last invoked during the 1992 Los Angeles riots. President Trump has expressed reluctance toward nominating Kevin Hassett as Federal Reserve Chair, casting further doubt over his search for the next head of the central bank. Trump on Friday said if Hassett were to leave his post as director of the White House National Economic Council, it would deprive the administration of one of its most powerful messengers on the economy.
I actually want to keep you where you are if you want to know the truth. Kevin Hassett is so good. If I move him, these Fed guys, certainly the one we have now, they don't talk much. I would lose you. It's a serious concern to me. So I just want to say thank you very much. You've done incredible.
Hassett has been seen as a top contender to succeed Fed Chair Jerome Powell. Gold slipped the most in more than two weeks after President Trump expressed reluctance over nominating Hassett as Federal Reserve Chair, casting further doubt over his search for the next head of the central bank. During an appearance on Fox Business, Treasury Secretary Scott Besant talked about when we may learn of President Trump's choice to lead the Fed.
We've run a process and it will be the president's decision in the next couple of days or weeks.
