The lawsuit comes after an ICE agent fatally shot a woman in Minneapolis last week
Minnesota sued the Trump administration on Monday over its "unprecedented" immigration crackdown in the state, alleging it violates federal law and the Constitution.
"The unlawful deployment of thousands of armed, masked, and poorly trained federal agents is hurting Minnesota," Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison wrote in a statement on Monday. "People are being racially profiled, harassed, terrorized, and assaulted. Schools have gone into lockdown...This federal invasion of the Twin Cities has to stop, so today I am suing DHS to bring it to an end."
The lawsuit comes as the Twin Cities are reeling from an ICE agent fatally shooting Renee Good last week in Minneapolis, an incident which has prompted widespread protests.
The complaint, brought on behalf of Minnesota, Minneapolis, and St. Paul, names top officials at the Department of Homeland Security, ICE, and Border Patrol.
It alleges that the ongoing crackdown in Minnesota, which began in December, is "driven by nothing more than the Trump Administration's desire to punish political opponents and score partisan points," and violates First Amendment rights, as well as the Constitution's guarantees of state sovereignty.

The attorney general's lawsuit is asking a Minnesota federal court to end the surge and declare it unlawful and unconstitutional.

At least they are legally trying to stop the psychos. I dont think this will work though.
Perhaps it will be only symbolic, but eventually these clowns are not going to have Don Pardoe in charge, and maybe then this country will be able to go after so many of Trumps' sicko sycophants' whose pathetic Trump implemented retaliations and just general chaos via Dons' incessant investigations & non-stop relentless instigations have caused our world standing and respect, to plummet to subterranean not seen B 4 levels, and deservedly so. These fckn kool aid guzzlin Kult klansman have FCKD up a once great country, and they own its demise
They are going to have three thousand federal agents there. Minneapolis has 650 city cops.
If their failed leaders had allowed the PD to work with ICE to remove criminal illegals, we probably would not have seen ICE there in the first place.
We have seen over the years that the actions the left has caused makes them melt down when they see the results.
? what are u a tempting to say
Democrats let millions of unvetted illegals into the country during the Biden regime.
The result is a real president has gotten into office and is attempting to correct the fuck ups from the previous four years.
Most on the left are having daily meltdowns because of it.
Here are a few things many on the left fail to comprehend...
1. Joe Biden and Mayorkas allowed millions of unvetted illegals into the country over a four year period.
2. Donald Trump is trying to fix that fuck up.
3. Blue mayors are mad because there are surges of ICE into their cities.
4. If these mayors allowed ICE to get into jails and they allowed ICE detainers, they would have no reason to bitch today.
5. If left wing politicians did not go on camera and incite these lunatics to go and assault, harass, etc, ICE agents, the luntics would probably not even know ICE was in their neighborhoods.
6. If left wing agitators did not harass, block, impede, assault, etc, ICE agents while they were doing their Congress approved jobs, the feds would not have to surge thousands more ICE agents to these cities.
7. If left wing agitators did not block ICE vehicles, then turn their vehicle into an agent while hitting the gas, and followed ICE orders to get out of the car, this agitator would still be alive today.
8. ICE was formed in 2003. Where were these agitators during the "deporter in chief" years? Supposedly he deported more illegals than any other president. Were the agitators afraid they would be called racist because it was during the Obama regime?
More than likely it is because it is all about Trump hatred and associated TDS. They really don't care about the illegals
"..desire to punish political opponents and score partisan points..."
Well, we've seen ten years of that.
"..state sovereignty..."
The South already tried that.
The emphasis on 'unprecedented' just means no politician has had the balls to enforce existing laws - they've just hidden the problem under a bridge.
as Trump blows up a tunnel!
I'm hoping that the County DA and the AG will bring charges against the monster.
What will those charges be?
