The city appealed the judge's ruling to the Minnesota court of appeals. The case is
on hold while the appellate court considers the issue. (FYI - Most of the 35-40
undercover cops appear to be from the Minneapolis police dept, but included several
St. Paul police officers state Bureau of Criminal Apprehension agents, and it is
unknown if there were undercover law enforcement officers from other agencies. This
might be part of the information that the City is so desparately trying to hide)
