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, which has prompted widespread protests.
This is a breaking news story and will be updated with new information.
