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.
So neither the states, nor the people should have ANY input on HOW the Federales conduct their sweeps?
Few argue that that the federal government shouldn’t remove criminal aliens, but are you comfortable with being stopped on the street by the masked Federales and being detained if you don’t have your “papers”? The stops are for people who “look” illegal.
Some 30-50% of “illegals” are visa overstays, most often wealthier, better dressed and whiter than the border crossers. Europeans, Canadians etc. How do the Federales find them? When they discover one via cross-referencing paperwork, they send them a letter. Would you favor capturing a Scottish businessman and shipping him to CECOT, El Salvador?
A Minneapolis man was taken from his house in his underwear, frogmarched through the snow to a waiting vehicle. The man insisted he was a citizen but he was prevented from gathering his identification. He is a U.S. citizen.

Seems almost unAmerican, doesn’t it? Is this as much an affront as disrupting a church service?
What does tyranny look like to you?
Difference is the feds broke no laws.
Don Lemon and his rowdy band of fags did.
Go Twitter it, Rimjob.
Lol. The irony YOU calling someone else a fag, CumBum!!
It’s okay, Rimjob. It’s understood that you get upset about the usage of that term since your daughter is a lesbian and her partner is black.
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…
And would these federal agents even need to be in these places if Biden hadn’t opened up the border? Not anywhere close to the numbers out there now. Look to the source of the problem. If Minneapolis police had been on the scene enforcing crowd control while ICE did their lawful job, making sure that ICE operations were unimpeded by obstructionists, Renee Good would be alive today
LOL. You are so full of shit, you gaslighter, you.
ICE doesn’t have to be there acting as they are. ICE causes more problems than do the “illegals” they’re abusing.
Florida and Texas have several fold more “illegals” than does Minnesota.
The excitable trump attacked Minnesota to make a point.
Cruelty is like Viagra for MAGAts!! LOL
Texas and Florida work with ICE unlike “sanctuary” states like Minnesota, Oregon, Washington, Cali…
Guess those states don’t mind Americans getting robbed, beaten, raped and murdered by illegals.
Yet TX and FL have higher murder and crime rates than Minnesota.
Another irrelevant bit of misinformation from the Rimjob.
Release the files, Pam. (donnie says, No!)
Time to send in the troops, Mr. President.
Right wing loon, Teach, typed:
“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?”
Besides misspelling “dully”, twice, Teach imagines Los Federales can do whatever they want to U.S. residents. That is the definition of tyranny, which right-wing Ammuricans detest!!
There is no law permitting Los Federales to enter a home without permission and drag a U.S. citizen out of his home.
There is no law permitting federal agents demanding the identification of a child, woman or man under threat of arrest/detainment.
Even Federal goons and thugs must obey the laws.
The Federal Government wants to imprison protesters for disrupting a church service but not even question a Federal Agent who shot an unarmed citizen in the head.
That is what tyranny looks like.
How will you react when trump is arrested once he’s out (if he lives that long)?
You mean like when unarmed Ashley Babbitt was shot? She was totally unarmed. The woman in MSP was armed with an automobile
The woman in the Capitol building illegally, was crawling threw an interior window, also illegally, apparently intent on assaulting Congresspersons in the chamber. No doubt a tragedy that the woman was killed. The who shot the woman was at least questioned.
Renee Good was shot 3 or 4 times. Armed with and automobile, LOL. That’s a good one. She was trying to get away from masked, armed men yelling at her. Jonathan Ross, now in hiding, called her a “fucking bitch” after he shot her. Ross was not questioned.
Rimjob posts another of his brutally stupid fantasies.
Rimjob; Jonathan Ross, now in hiding, called her a “fucking bitch” after he shot her.
Who says? And even if true, so what?
Rimjob, you gotta sto0 getting your talking points from Twitter.
