Does left wing loon Judge Kathy realize that this is all authorized by laws passed by duly elected Congresses and signed into law by duly elected presidents? What makes her think any lawsuit can stop the federal government from engaging in a Constitutional power of the federal government?
DOJ due to respond to Minnesota lawsuit seeking immediate stop to immigration enforcement surge
An important deadline arrives Monday in the legal standoff between Minnesota and the federal government, as the U.S. Department of Justice plans to respond to a lawsuit seeking an immediate stop to the surge of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations in the state through a temporary injunction.
While Monday is Martin Luther King Jr. Day, a federal holiday, the judge said the issue was too important to wait.
U.S. District Judge Katherine Menendez is considering whether to grant an immediate temporary restraining order limiting ICE activities. She said last week she would not issue the temporary restraining order until she heard a response from the federal government.
The lawsuit was filed late last week by the state of Minnesota and the cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul. The suit argues the unprecedented surge of an estimated 3,000 federal agents is endangering citizens. It accuses ICE of violating the First and Tenth Amendments to the U.S. Constitution.
Oh, this should be good
According to the lawsuit, Minnesotans have been “unlawfully seized and been the victims of excessive force by federal immigration agents for exercising their First Amendment rights to observe or protest federal government conduct.”
They have no Right to get violent, threatening, or interfere with law enforcement. Looking at that link in the 1st paragraph
The Tenth Amendment protects states’ sovereignty and limits federal powers to those granted in the U.S. Constitution. It provides autonomy to the states in issues like education, elections and public safety. While Ellison is optimistic, some legal experts think the lawsuit is a long shot because it would be similar to telling the FBI it could not operate in the state.
I remember when Democrats, including Obama, sued over Arizona’s SB1070, the “show me your papers” law, and they all said that immigration was a federal power. And, it’s in the Constitution. It can be delegated to the states, but, it is not a power that the States have.
Meanwhile, this is hilarious
I wonder how many have defund the polices signs and bumper stickers?
You cannot have the federal government solely responsible for immigration law enforcement and also have the states able to restrict enforcement of immigration laws.
From Andrew McCarthy-“not tenable for a judge to order agents not to do what is already illegal. If the agents violate the law, then the harmed person can bring a lawsuit. The harm is what gives the court jurisdiction to act. It’s not the proper role of a judge to give what in effect is an advisory opinion, or better, an advisory admonition. This just preening.”
That’s
Yes. Once harmed, you can always sue. But honestly, who’s going to stop the U.S. Federal agents? A few hundred local cops? The U.S. military who answer to trump? LOL. They can do whatever trump tells them.
Who’s going to stop U.S. Federal agents from shooting people?
Anyway 2nd Amendment fetishists, this is what the tyranny you’ve prepared for looks like. LOL…
Release the files, Pam. (donnie says, No!)
