US EditionMinnesota Judge Won't Issue Restraining Order to Stop ICE Operations in State, for Now
Minnesota alleges ICE's Operation Metro Surge is politically motivated and violates the First Amendment, with a federal judge delaying a restraining order amid ongoing legal review.
- Federal Court Judge Kathrine Menendez on Wednesday declined to immediately stop U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's Operation Metro Surge, tentatively denying Minnesota's request to halt the agency's largest operation ever.
- On Monday, Minnesota filed the suit with Attorney General Keith Ellison and the cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul alleging Operation Metro Surge is arbitrary, politically targeted, and violates the First Amendment.
- Judge Menendez said she lacked enough time to assess the case, noting `I think the issues are really important and I don't want to suggest by not acting immediately one way or the other that I think they are unimportant` during Wednesday's hearing.
- The court set deadlines for filings, with the federal government due by Jan. 19 and Minnesota state agencies must reply by Jan. 22, while state agencies currently lack access to evidence, witnesses and agent testimony.
- Judge Kathrine Menendez called the case a 'frontier' in constitutional law and said more time was needed, with Ellison stating `This has to stop,` and Her urging hope for success.
