US EditionDepartment of Justice Names Minnesota as a ‘Sanctuary Jurisdiction’ in New List
MINNESOTA, AUG 5 – The Department of Justice added Minnesota to a list of 35 sanctuary jurisdictions under a federal order targeting places that limit cooperation with Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
- The Department of Justice designated Minnesota a sanctuary jurisdiction on Tuesday, Aug. 5, 2025, adding it to a list of 35 jurisdictions impeding federal immigration enforcement.
- The Department of Justice’s criteria define sanctuary jurisdictions by obstructing ICE cooperation, refusing detainers without warrants, restricting ICE access, and barring status sharing.
- Earlier this year, a list included Minneapolis, St. Paul, and 20 Minnesota counties as sanctuary jurisdictions, following DHS's nearly 400 jurisdictions list two months earlier.
- In response to the designation, the DOJ designated Minnesota as a sanctuary jurisdiction, threatening federal funds, while Gov. Tim Walz asserted the state is not a sanctuary, despite federal actions.
- The DOJ said the list is not comprehensive and will be updated, noting the Minnesota Legislature has passed no sanctuary jurisdiction law.
