"A federal judge began hearing arguments Monday on whether she should halt, at least temporarily, the immigration crackdown in Minnesota that has led to the fatal shootings of two people by government officers. The state of Minnesota and the cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul sued the Department of Homeland Security earlier this month, five days after Renee Good was shot by an Immigration and Customs officer. The shooting of Alex Pretti by a Border Patrol officer on Saturday added urgency to the case."
"During arguments before U.S. District Judge Katherine Menendez, lawyers for the state and the Twin Cities argued that the situation on the street is so dire as to require the court to halt the federal government's immigration enforcement actions. "If this is not stopped right here, right now, I don't think anybody who is seriously looking at this problem can have much faith in how our republic is going to go in the future," Minnesota Assistant Attorney General Brian Carter said."
A federal judge heard arguments on whether to temporarily stop federal immigration enforcement in Minnesota after two fatal shootings by immigration officers. The state of Minnesota and the cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul sued the Department of Homeland Security after the shooting of Renee Good by an Immigration and Customs officer and the killing of Alex Pretti by a Border Patrol officer. President Donald Trump said he had a "very good" call with Gov. Walz and described being on a "similar wavelength." State lawyers urged judicial intervention, and Judge Katherine Menendez questioned constitutional limits on enforcement powers. The Justice Department's attorneys were scheduled to respond later.
