Trump Administration Asks Judge to Reject Minnesota’s Call to Block ICE Surge
The New York Times • • nation
Key Points:
- The Justice Department requested a federal judge to allow the continuation of a surge of immigration agents in Minnesota despite a lawsuit from state and local officials claiming the deployment violates Minnesota’s sovereignty under the 10th Amendment.
- State and city lawyers argue the federal operation is designed to provoke community outrage, sow fear, and interfere with local officials' ability to protect residents.
- The Trump administration dismissed the lawsuit as an "absurdity," warning that blocking the operation would undermine federal law supremacy and constitute judicial overreach.
- The ICE campaign, called Operation Metro Surge, has resulted in over 3,000 arrests, clashes with protesters, and two shootings, with the administration citing the need to combat illegal immigration and fraud.
