US EditionJudge Set to Hear Arguments on Minnesota’s Immigration Crackdown After Fatal Shootings
Minnesota and cities seek to reduce federal immigration officers to pre-surge levels after two fatal shootings during Operation Metro Surge, launched Dec. 1.
- On Monday, U.S. District Judge Kathleen Menendez will hear arguments on Minnesota’s challenge to federal immigration enforcement, which plaintiffs say led to fatal shootings, with AG Keith Ellison planning to attend.
- Plaintiffs want to restore pre-surge conditions that existed before Dec. 1 and asked U.S. District Judge Kathleen Menendez to order federal law enforcement agencies to cut officers to pre-surge levels.
- Ellison and Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty asked the court to preserve federal evidence that state authorities have not yet inspected, while the Justice Department urged Sunday to keep stays in place and reject the request or stay any order pending appeal.
- Attorneys general from 19 states plus the District of Columbia, led by California, filed a friend-of-the-court brief supporting Minnesota and warned unchecked federal action could spread.
- It wasn’t clear ahead of the hearing when U.S. District Judge Kathleen Menendez might rule, as state and city plaintiffs expanded their requests, complicating proceedings and prompting Ellison’s comments on unforeseeability.
