"A federal judge on Saturday denied Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison's attempt to block President Donald Trump's administration's from carrying out more ICE and Border Patrol raids in his state. U.S. District Judge Kate Menendez ruled Minnesota failed to show the state's sovereignty was violated by the federal government's crackdown on illegal immigration, dubbed Operation Metro Surge. Plaintiffs have provided no metric by which to determine when lawful law enforcement becomes unlawful commandeering,"
"A proclamation that Operation Metro Surge has simply gone so far on the other side of the line' is a thin reed on which to base a preliminary injunction. Ellison filed the lawsuit earlier this month, and received the backing of Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey (D) and St. Paul Mayor Kaohly Her (D). Judge Menendez who was appointed by former President Joe Biden made her ruling as the state has become the epicenter of anti-ICE and anti-Trump protests in recent weeks,"
Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison sued to block additional ICE and Border Patrol raids under Operation Metro Surge, alleging the federal crackdown violated state sovereignty and unconstitutionally commandeered state legislative processes. U.S. District Judge Kate Menendez denied the request, finding the state failed to show a sovereignty violation and noting plaintiffs provided no clear metric to determine when lawful law enforcement becomes unlawful commandeering. Menendez described a bare proclamation that the surge crossed any such line as insufficient for a preliminary injunction. Ellison received backing from Minneapolis and St. Paul mayors amid protests following the shootings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti. The record included evidence supporting both Ellison's coercion claims and the administration's justification for the operation.
