One day after the Trump administration injected fresh uncertainty into the fate of Justice Department agreements aimed at reforming local police departments with histories of misconduct and abuse, city leaders in in Minneapolis and Louisville pledged to follow through with agreed-upon reforms no matter what.

President Donald Trump's new Justice Department leadership has put a freeze on civil rights litigation and suggested it may reconsider police reform agreements negotiated by the Biden administration.

A directive from President Donald Trump’s administration to pause all ongoing civil rights litigation by the U.S. Department of Justice could be the beginning of the end for Louisville’s proposed consent decree.

The City of Minneapolis and the Minneapolis Police Department plan to move forward with the terms laid out in a federal consent decree, regardless of what may be decided by the Trump Administration or the Justice Department.
