Federal Push to Preserve ICE Surge in Minnesota Amid State Lawsuit
TL;DR
The Justice Department asked a federal judge to let a surge of about 3,000 ICE agents in Minnesota continue despite a lawsuit by Minnesota and Minneapolis/St. Paul officials claiming it violates the 10th Amendment and infringes state sovereignty; the administration calls the suit an absurd overreach, while the operation has so far resulted in thousands of arrests and clashes with protesters.
