The U.S. Department of Justice signaled Wednesday that it is not interested in pursuing an agreement with the city of Minneapolis designed to mandate policing reforms. The DOJ filed a motion Wednesday morning to dismiss the government’s consent decree with the city.

In January, the city and President Joe Biden’s justice department reached an agreement to address alleged discriminatory policing particularly affecting Black and Native residents. But the agreement needed a federal judge’s approval to move forward.
