Live from NPR News. I'm Dale Willman. A federal judge in Minneapolis has ruled that immigration agents may not arrest or retaliate against peaceful observers and protesters. Matt Sepik of Minnesota Public Radio reports.

The injunction prohibits agents from using crowd control weapons such as pepper spray on protesters and from stopping drivers without probable cause. Judge Kate Menendez says safely following agents vehicles does not by itself create reasonable suspicion to justify a stop. The ruling comes in response to a lawsuit from six people who were detained or threatened by ICE last month.

That's Matt Sepik reporting. A bipartisan congressional delegation is wrapping up its trip to Copenhagen. The trip was aimed at reassuring long standing allies as President Trump continues to talk about acquiring Greenland. As NPR's Barbara Sprunt reports, the group met with Danish Prime Minister Metta Fredriksen and her Greenlandic counterpart, Jens Frederick Nielsen.

The delegation is mostly Democrats, joined by GOP Senators Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and Thom Tillis of North Carolina. President Trump first mentioned acquiring Greenland during his first term, but has amped up that rhetoric, promising to take control of the island one way or the other. Murkowski has pushed back.

Greenland needs to be viewed as our ally, not not as an asset. And I think that's what you're hearing with this delegation.

She's part of a bipartisan group that introduced a bill affirming the US Government's respect for the sovereignty of the kingdom of Denmark, including Greenland. Barbara Sprunt, NPR News, Copenhagen.

The man accused of killing conservative activist Charlie Kirk returned to a Utah court Friday. Tyler Robinson's defense attorneys are trying to argue that prosecutors have a conflict of interest. Martha Harris with member station KUER was at the hearing.

One of the Utah county prosecutors working on this case has an 18 year old daughter who was at the event where Kirk was shot. Robinson's defense team argued that personal connection could cause bias. They say that's especially risky since this is a death penalty case. The defense thinks this means the entire Utah county attorney's office should be kicked off the case. The county's top prosecutor, Jeff Gray, took the stand Friday. He disagrees. There's a conflict of interest. The 18 year old didn't see the shooting and says she wasn't traumatized. The attorney and his daughter are expected to take the stand next month. For NPR News, I'm Martha Harris in Provo, Utah.
