Minnesota sues Trump administration to block surge of federal immigration agents

Minnesota and Twin Cities claim 'Operation Metro Surge' uses excessive force and racial profiling by over 2,000 ICE agents, seeking a court order to stop federal enforcement.

  • On Monday, the State of Minnesota, City of Minneapolis, and City of St. Paul filed a federal lawsuit seeking a temporary restraining order to halt DHS's enforcement surge, with Ellison saying, `Because this has to stop`.
  • The Jan. 7 killing of Renee Good prompted a surge in federal enforcement and citywide unrest, expanding Operation Metro Force from December in the Somali community into Operation Metro Surge.
  • DHS deployed more than 2,000 immigration officers and reported more than 2,000 arrests, using tactics like door knocks, roving patrols, administrative warrants, tear gas, and pointing firearms.
  • Plaintiffs seek court orders to prevent arrests without probable cause and to stop agents from pointing firearms or threatening force, alleging violations of the Tenth and First Amendments.
  • Other states and cities have also sued DHS, and federal officials have limited state access even as Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said hundreds more ICE and Border Patrol officers are arriving, prolonging tensions.
