City Council members are reviewing the 170-page document during a closed session with attorneys Monday morning, before voting on whether to approve it.

The Minneapolis City Council has agreed to a federal consent decree to implement major reforms within the Minneapolis Police Department.

Minneapolis' City Council voted on Monday to agree to systemic reforms to its police department and to submit the department to outside oversight after a U.S. federal investigation spurred by the 2020 murder of George Floyd uncovered a pattern of civil rights abuses.

The Minneapolis City Council has voted to approve a proposed federal consent decree that, if finalized, will enact sweeping police reform. The city council spent hours in a closed session Monday reviewing the proposed agreement between the city and the United States Department of Justice.

The Minneapolis City Council went into a closed session this morning to go over the details of a proposed agreement with the U.S. Department of Justice outlining reforms that will be made to address discriminatory policing.

A new federal reform plan for the Minneapolis Police Department could be announced as soon as Monday, according to reports from multiple news outlets. Why it matters: A deal on a consent decree this week could leave just enough time to lock in federal court oversight of MPD before President-elect Trump takes office Jan.
