As the Star Tribune reports today, the Minnesota Department of Corrections (DOC) has finally agreed to drop its opposition to a lawsuit filed by Prof. Murray's Clemency Clinic on behalf of those prisoners released from prison due to their COVID vulnerability, which the DOC decided to return to prison in August 2022.  Working with the ACLU of Minnesota and the LAMP Clinic at Mitchell-Hamline School of Law, Murray challenged the decision and successfully obtained a TRO against the DOC preventing implementation of its plan.

Minnesota Law’s Clemency Clinic was mentioned as one of three plaintiffs that sued the Minnesota Department of Corrections over the possible reincarceration of inmates who were on conditional medical release. The inmates were susceptible to severe illness or death from COVID-19. In December, the DOC agreed to not reincarcerate the inmates as long as they didn't violate the terms of their release. The DOC will allow them to leave their homes for employment and education with approval from their parole officers.
