Oh, this should be good, since enforcement of immigration laws is given to the federal government, and federal says those illegally present in the US should be detained and deported
Minnesota, Twin Cities sue Trump administration over unprecedented immigration operations
The state of Minnesota and the Twin Cities are suing the Trump administration, arguing the unprecedented federal immigration operation in the state is “a federal invasion,” and seeking a court order halting the crackdown, according to a lawsuit filed Monday.
“This has to stop; it just has to stop,” Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison said at a Monday news conference announcing the lawsuit.
The suit was filed shortly after Illinois and the city of Chicago also sued the Trump administration, alleging the Department of Homeland Security has terrorized residents in “organized bombardment.”
Both suits argue the federal government is violating the Tenth Amendment.
Suddenly Democrats like and recognized the 10th? Too bad it doesn’t apply
“Sanctuary politicians like Ellison are the EXACT reason that DHS surged to Minnesota in the first place,” DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement.
“If he, Tim Walz, or Jacob Frey had just done their sworn duty to protect the people of Minnesota they are supposed to serve to root out fraud and get criminals off the street — if they had worked with us to do it — we wouldn’t be having this conversation in the first place,” McLaughlin said.

The lawsuit claims Operation Metro Surge is not a legitimate law enforcement action, but a retaliation effort against Democratic-led Minnesota, citing the president’s disparaging comments toward local officials.
“President Trump expressed the root of his displeasure in plain terms during a recorded interview: he essentially claimed that Minnesota is ‘corrupt’ and ‘crooked’ because its officials accurately reported election results and those results did not declare him the winner,” the lawsuit says, citing a January 9 interview by the president.
Are they arresting illegal aliens? Immigration agents are going to go where the illegals are. Anyhow, is there more to the suit, because it really is pretty weak
(NPR) State Attorney General Keith Ellison said in a press conference that federal agents during the surge have arrested peaceful bystanders, detained U.S. citizens and fired chemical irritants at demonstrators and others exercising their First Amendment rights, including outside a local high school. The lawsuit calls on the Trump administration to end its immigration crackdown in the state.
“Thousands of armed and masked DHS agents have stormed the Twin Cities to conduct militarized raids and carry out dangerous, illegal, and unconstitutional stops and arrests in sensitive public places, including schools and hospitals—all under the guise of lawful immigration enforcement,” the lawsuit says. The complaint also alleges that immigration agents have engaged in racial profiling.
Nice try throwing in the race card, but, if you Demorats would simply hold illegals who are detained by police for federal immigration authorities to come and get there wouldn’t be an issue. I mean, really, I’ve read about 10 different articles and few really go into any depth on the suit, just lots of feelings. And, what will most likely happen is a far left wacko judge will rule in Minnesota’s favor, and that will be quickly overturned on appeal.
Hmm, remember when the State of AZ tried to detain illegals at their southern border and the Biden clown show stepped in? They stopped the state claiming only the Federal Government had that right (and of course promptly didn’t do anything to stop the flow).
