A federal judge in Minnesota granted a temporary restraining order that says law enforcement officers cannot arrest or use physical force against journalists covering the Duante Wright protests.
U.S. District Judge Wilhelmina Wright issued the order on Friday and it is in effect for the next two weeks, the Twin Cities Pioneer Press reported.
The order states that police cannot use physical force or chemical agents against the media, or take away their press passes.

Journalists argued in court that they were “directed by law enforcement to vacate the protest area, physically grabbed, struck by less-lethal projectiles and rubber bullets, and pepper sprayed.”
