Erik K. Tostrud

Erik K. Tostrud is a federal judge in the United States District Court for the District of Minnesota. Recently, he made headlines by lifting a temporary order that had prohibited the Department of Homeland Security from destroying evidence related to the fatal shooting of U.S. citizen Alex Preti by federal immigration agents. His ruling indicated that the temporary ban was no longer necessary, reflecting his assessment of the likelihood of evidence being destroyed or improperly altered.
