Minnesota immigration crackdown spooks even legal entrants

Despite fewer agents, Minnesota’s ongoing federal immigration crackdown continues to terrorize immigrants, including those who entered legally, with arrests and detentions of refugees, a surge of wrongful-detention lawsuits (over 1,000 filed), and policy shifts that broaden scrutiny of residency and citizenship; a judge briefly blocked some detentions, while DHS issued memos expanding enforcement against refugees without green cards and urging tighter citizenship questions, all underscoring fear and disruption for families like Jay who were detained before ultimately being released.
