Minneapolis City Council votes on major police reforms following federal discrimination allegations.

Minneapolis City Council is set to decide on Monday whether to approve a consent decree with the federal government, requiring major reforms within the police department under court supervision. This follows a 2023 Justice Department report that accused the city's police of systematic discrimination against minorities and violating constitutional rights. If approved, Minneapolis would operate under both federal and state consent decrees, indicating a significant push for police reform.
