US EditionTrump administration asks judge to reject Minnesota’s bid to stop immigration crackdown
The Justice Department appeals to lift restrictions on immigration agents amid Operation Metro Surge, which has resulted in over 3,000 arrests of undocumented individuals, officials said.
- On Monday, the Department of Justice asked a federal judge to reject Minnesota leaders' bid and let Operation Metro Surge continue despite the lawsuit and said it will appeal an injunction limiting agents' actions.
- Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison and city officials argue the lawsuit filed Jan. 12 seeks to halt enforcement, claiming the deployment is a "federal invasion" violating the 10th Amendment.
- Operation Metro Surge has resulted in large-scale arrests and violent encounters, including an ICE agent fatally shooting Renee Good on Jan. 7; Julia Decker said, `These are real people we're talking about, that we potentially have no idea what is happening to them.`
- In her injunction handed down Friday, Judge Kate M. Menendez barred agents from using pepper spray or detaining peaceful protesters, while the Pentagon placed about 1,500 active-duty soldiers on standby and the Minnesota National Guard was mobilized but not deployed.
- The Justice Department labeled the suit "legally frivolous" and defended federal authority, while the DOJ Civil Rights Division, FBI and U.S. Attorney's office expanded probes into Renee Good's killing and related matters.
