Twin Cities win as judge tosses Trump administration's sanctuary-city lawsuits

A U.S. District Judge dismissed the Trump administration's lawsuits against Minneapolis, St. Paul, Hennepin County, Minnesota, and state officials over sanctuary-city policies, ruling that federal preemption claims failed to show the federal government commands or bans actions and that the policies regulate state and local officials' duties rather than federal actors; the judge also found the administration's challenge to Ellison's advisory on jail holds implausible.
