A Federal Judge Is Set to Hear Arguments on Minnesota's Immigration Crackdown After Fatal Shootings
Governor Walz invited President Trump to observe Minnesota’s response to ICE’s Operation Metro Surge amid concerns about community trust and accountability.
- On Saturday morning, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz invited President Donald Trump to see Minnesota's `values in action` and declared the state `will not be intimidated` amid ICE operations.
- Operation Metro Surge has mobilised thousands of federal agents across Minnesota, coinciding with two fatal shootings in Minneapolis, including ICU nurse Alex Pretti on Jan 24.
- State officials say aggressive tactics include ICE telling agents they don't need warrants, DHS blocking Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension access, and Minnesota police chiefs reporting racial stops of off-duty officers, while children are detained and fearful.
- Legal developments include a court-ordered evidence preservation as U.S. District Court Judge Eric Tostrud gave DHS until noon Monday, Jan. 26 to respond, while the Hennepin County Attorney urged public evidence submissions.
- Near-term: With a Jan 30 funding deadline looming, Chuck Schumer said Democrats will oppose DHS funding and the House Homeland Security committee requested ICE testimony.
