Hennepin County

Hennepin County is the most populous county in Minnesota, containing Minneapolis and its inner suburbs. It joined the State of Minnesota in suing the Trump administration in late March 2026 for withholding evidence from the investigation into the killing of Alex Pretti, a VA nurse shot by CBP officers on 24 January 2026 while protesting the earlier killing of Renée Good by an ICE agent.

Hennepin County is the local government jurisdiction within which US Bank Stadium sits, making it a direct stakeholder in the 2026 World Cup's four Minneapolis group-stage matches. Its co-plaintiff status in the federal evidence lawsuit reflects the county's assertion that federal authorities withheld information relevant to local oversight of a killing that occurred within its jurisdiction.
