Six Alleged Gang Members Agree to Skip Minnesota State Fair Amid Ramsey County Lawsuit

Ramsey County officials have reached an agreement with six alleged members of the 'Muddy' and 'Ville' gangs, preventing them from attending the Minnesota State Fair. This agreement stems from a civil lawsuit filed by Ramsey County Attorney John Choi and Attorney General Keith Ellison. The lawsuit was initiated after law enforcement identified a social media post by an alleged gang member promoting 'The Biggest Battle of the Year' at the fair. The county's objective was to prevent rival gang members from associating at the event, citing public safety concerns. If the six individuals comply with the agreement, Ramsey County officials have stated they will dismiss the lawsuit against them. The remaining four individuals named in the lawsuit are scheduled to appear in court, where a judge will decide on their attendance at the fair.
