REFUGEES SUE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION TO STOP ICE TERROR CAMPAIGN
The class-action suit challenges ICE’s warrantless arrests and detentions under Operation PARRIS, citing lack of legal authority and discriminatory targeting of lawfully resettled refugees.
- Jan. 24, 2026: A federal class action was filed by lawfully resettled refugees in Minnesota, represented by the International Refugee Assistance Project, Berger Montague, and CHRCL, challenging illegal arrests and detentions.
- Operation PARRIS, announced January 9, prompted armed Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents to go door to door in Minnesota, targeting children and the elderly in the refugee community.
- Some detainees were held in detention facilities in Texas for a week or more with no information and subjected to intensive questioning without legal counsel, while released refugees were often left in Texas without money or ID.
- The lawsuit seeks to end warrantless arrests, unauthorized detention and coercive interrogation, arguing the U.S. government has no legal authority to detain lawfully present refugees without charge, and The Advocates for Human Rights says Operation PARRIS forced it to divert scarce resources.
- Kimberly Grano, Staff Attorney at IRAP, said that advocates warn ICE's actions are causing trauma, separation, and fear among refugee families and communities in Minnesota.
