BREAKING NEWS: In light of the court ruling won by @ACLUMN, U of M and Mitchell Hamline clinics yesterday, MNDOC has agreed to a TRO preventing it from forcing medically-vulnerable people to return to prison on Monday. This is good news for our clients and their rights!

BREAKING NEWS! A Ramsey County District Judge just granted a temporary restraining order in our case against MNDOC. This means that MNDOC cannot currently reincarcerate people who were released during the pandemic because of their high risk from COVID-19.

All without providing a hearing, considering their individual circumstances, or doing anything to prevent the harm that will occur from reimprisonment.

Of the 2,292 people who applied for conditional medical release (CMR), MNDOC only released a tiny fraction: 158 people. Now MNDOC plans to reincarcerate some of them in violation of their constitutional due process rights.
