Federal Judge Declines to Halt Trump’s Immigration Surge in Minnesota
- U.S. District Judge Katherine M. Menendez on Saturday denied a preliminary injunction sought by Minnesota officials, allowing Operation Metro Surge to continue. The request was filed this month by Minnesota officials and the mayors of Minneapolis and Saint Paul.
- Seeking to block the operation, Minnesota officials said the Department of Homeland Security violates the Tenth Amendment and uses retaliation after federal funding pressure.
- Federal filings show the operation deployed roughly 3,000 federal officers, with fatal shootings of Renee Good on Jan. 7 and Alex Pretti on Jan. 24 sparking protests and student walk-outs on Jan. 30.
- The judge limited her ruling to procedural standards by saying the order did not resolve Operation Metro Surge's legality and plaintiffs failed to show entitlement to preliminary injunction.
- The surge mirrors moves the administration has made in other cities, and Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said `This is what I would describe as a standard investigation by the FBI when there's circumstances like what we saw last Saturday`.
